A leather sofa is a great investment, but once you've committed to one, it's important to take care of it — the right way. Genuine leather needs to be treated with care, as well as regularly cleaned and conditioned to protect it from damage and fade.
Which is why it is essential to know how to clean a sofa, and what you need to do just that. "Leather furniture is expensive, but if taken care of, it can continue to look amazing. To get the most longevity out of leather pieces, make sure that they are cleaned regularly," says Dionne Livingstone, a cleaning expert at Home Spritz. "Dried-out leather will become brittle and won’t look as good if it is not maintained. Leather does require the use of specialized cleaning agents and conditioners so make sure to look out for leather-specific products."
