Leather furniture is still considered one of the most luxurious options on the market. While it might not be for everyone, this durable material lasts a seriously long time and the classic look has a timeless quality that suits an array of interior design styles. However, just as you’d need to clean your cotton sofa covers or take a cloth to your chenille, leather requires some regular maintenance to keep it looking its best.
All of that said, one of the many benefits of leather is its ease of cleaning. There’s no need to remove covers to wash them or soak them in detergents with a leather sofa or chair; instead, spills, crumbs, and grime can easily be wiped from the surface.

As a natural material, leather will need conditioning to keep it soft and supple, and to ensure its longevity. Here, we asked experts to explain how it’s done.
