How do you protect your leather sofa? Discover our protective wax and varnish!

Fortunately, applying a surface treatment is not reserved only for tanneries. So, how to protect a leather sofa? Whether it’s our Silky Varnish or our Protective Wax, our products have the same characteristics and raw materials as those used by tanners. Quality criteria that make Sofolk products indispensable as recommended by our customers.

Sofolk’s Silky Varnish preserves the color of your leather while reinforcing it to protect against various daily aggressions and dirt. Available in matte, glossy, or satin finish, this varnish adapts to all leather sofas to enhance them sustainably. You can also add UV protection when ordering if your sofa is heavily exposed to sunlight.

Sofolk’s Protective Wax, on the other hand, offers a candle-touch that enhances your old leathers for a perfect finish and durable protection. It protects your leather from snags and stains as liquids slide off the leather after this treatment. With a satin finish, its formula allows the natural smell of the leather to pass through for daily enjoyment of your luxurious sofa.

These two products, available in bottle or spray, will effectively protect your leather while giving it a most pleasant silky touch. Their application is very easy and quick and should be renewed at least once a year to keep your leather in good condition. If you are unsure about which product is best for your situation, our teams are at your disposal by phone and messages through our technical support and forum.

Here are the steps to follow for optimal protection:

1. Regular Cleaning:
   • Use a specific leather cleaner to remove dirt and oils. Regular cleaning prevents dirt buildup that can damage the leather in the long term.
     
     
2. Hydration:
   • Regularly apply a nourishing oil for leather, such as our Sofolk Nourishing Oil. This keeps the leather supple and prevents it from drying out and cracking.
     
     
3. Waterproofing:
   • Use our Sofolk Universal Waterproofing to protect your sofa from stains and moisture. Apply this product at least twice a year for optimal protection.
     
     
4. UV Protection:
   • If your sofa is exposed to direct sunlight, apply UV protection to prevent discoloration. Our leather varnish can be ordered with UV protection.
     
     
5. Application of Varnish or Protective Wax:
   • Apply a protective varnish, like our Sofolk Silky Varnish, to protect the leather surface from abrasions and dirt. Available in matte, satin, or glossy finish, it suits your aesthetic preferences. Protective Wax is an alternative to Silky Varnish, providing a more pleasant touch and waterproofing but is less resistant and only available in satin finish.
     
     
6. Maintaining High-Wear Areas:
   • Armrests, neck rests, and seats are particularly stressed areas. Regularly apply Protective Wax or Varnish to reinforce these areas.
     
     
7. Avoid Non-Specific Products:
   • Do not use non-specific household products for leather, such as body creams or nourishing milk. These products can clog and damage the leather.
     
     

By following these steps, you will ensure long-lasting and effective protection for your leather sofa.

To enjoy perfect leather sofa protection, it is important to waterproof it with an appropriate product at least twice a year for optimal treatment. This avoids the risk of stains from a spilled glass and any moisture that could damage the leather fibers prematurely by leaving an unsightly mark.

This water-repellent effect is possible with Sofolk Protective Wax, but also with our Sofolk Universal Waterproofing. Usable on all types of leather, including nubuck, this product protects your leather sofa from moisture and dirt. Easy to apply, these products allow you to use your high-end sofa with confidence and ensure extended life for it.
