Maintenance Tips

The treatment of leather as regards cleanability and wear will vary depending upon the degree and nature of the finish (if any) applied to its surface. Cleaning is something that is often given too much emphasis. Leather furniture in a natural domestic environment should require little more than periodic wiping over with a cloth soaked and then partially wrung out in a soapy solution (mild hand soap or Lux flakes), and then rinsed with a clear damp cloth. Obviously, light pastel shades may require more regular cleaning than darker colours.

Generally, it is accepted that a good overall clean with a proprietary cleaner, such as Leather Doctor Cleaner, and then conditioned with hide food should be carried out three to four times a year.

The temptation to apply saddlesoap or wax polishes should be resisted. Spray polishes should be avoided at all costs as these contain silicone and after a period of time will produce an unpleasant sticky surface. The methods for cleaning shoe leather do not apply to upholstered leather and wax polishes should not be used.
