There are proper ways to keep your leather sofa in good shape. Read on to find out how you can enjoy your leather sofa longer.
Original leather is a natural material and elements such as heat and moisture can damage it. Nevertheless, I will encourage you to buy original leather than imitations because of quality.

Leather Futon Sofa
Still the best way to keep your sofa in good shape is to give it a regular cleaning. This way, you will not have to deal with a pile of dust and dirt that have accumulated on your sofa.
A vacuum will be most helpful in reaching corners and taut areas of the sofa. Use the brush accessory of the vacuum but make sure that the bristles are not too hard so as not to tear the leather.
A mixture of water and dishwashing liquid is an effective formula for cleaning your leather sofa. Put 1 to 2 drops of the dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle filled with water and mist the spills and stains with it. Do not put too much soap in the solution, as this will cause white stains on the sofa. You can also use a cloth to apply the mixture on the stain. Remember to start from the outermost area of the spill moving your way to the inner core. Be careful not to wet the sofa too much so it does not get moist on the inside. This will prevent the early deterioration of the material.
If you will opt for commercial cleaning ingredients, make sure that they are safe to use on leather. The chemicals must not be harsh or else the color of the sofa will lighten. Strong substances may cause the protective layer of the leather to wear out thus exposing the material to more germs and dirt.
For oil-based spills, get a dry cloth and let it absorb the fluid.
For ink stains, use hair spray on it, then dab with a dry cloth.
To eliminate yeasts on the sofa, an alcohol and water solution will help solve the problem. Spray the mixture or use a cloth to apply the solution on infected areas.
Leather needs conditioning every 2 years. This will keep the shine on the sofa and will make the protective coating of the material stronger.
