Regular leather care for your leather sofas will double their lifespan!
Many inevitable factors harm the leather of your sofa: friction, abrasion, stretching, dirt, dust, sweat, etc. These various aggressions are not always visible at first, such as sebum traces, mainly present at the neck and armrests, which penetrate the leather fibers. However, when these become apparent, it is often too late to undertake preventive care.
Regular leather care for your sofa is therefore the only way to ensure constant comfort and avoid significant damage due to the inevitable wear and tear of your sofa!
The question may seem innocent or even unnecessary, but it is important to remember that leather is a noble material that requires regular maintenance. Leather must be cleaned, nourished, and protected diligently if you want to keep it in good condition. An untreated leather sofa will lose its color and suppleness.
Once leather hardens, it quickly succumbs to the daily friction it undergoes, and simply maintaining a cracked leather sofa may then prove inadequate given the damage. Lack of maintenance also facilitates the appearance of sebum traces, scratches, and other tears over time.
When you made your purchase, you invested in a characterful sofa, in a material that guarantees superior comfort and aesthetics. While leather care may seem daunting or complex at first, you will be surprised by the simplicity of the care routines to apply. Sofolk supports you with easy-to-use products perfectly adapted for this purpose.
This last point is crucial to avoid damaging your sofa and preserve its original luster: a too gentle cleaner will not provide lasting results, while an overly aggressive one could discolor your leather, necessitating a much heavier treatment later on.
In this regard, many websites and forums recommend using everyday products such as body creams or nourishing milk. At best, these creams remain on the surface for a few hours, giving you a brief impression of effectiveness, and at worst, they penetrate the leather, risking clogging and saturating the fibers.
Therefore, these solutions for maintaining your leather sofa should be absolutely avoided. To prevent exposing your sofa to damage that simple maintenance cannot eliminate, it is essential to select the appropriate products.
As soon as you aim to maintain your leather sofa properly, adopting a few simple steps with products designed for this material is sufficient. Periodically repeated care ensures exceptional results: your leather sofa remains supple and radiant, just like the first day!
If you have just acquired a leather sofa, maintenance can wait a few months. However, if you inherit an untreated leather sofa that still seems in good condition, it is wise to apply a deep maintenance treatment immediately for preventive care.
Generally, for optimal preservation of your leather sofa with tangible results, it is recommended to perform maintenance quarterly on previously cleaned leather. For this purpose, Sofolk Leather Cleaner, used by many professionals, promises impeccable leather ready to receive care.
