Sadly, many British leather owners have had to look on in horror as the leather cracks and bends on their leather upholstery. Well, we are here to help you avoid that particular headache!

To help you make the right choice about upholstery cleaning for leather, we recommend that you stick to this quick and simple method. This can give the leather a nice freshen-up and look much cleaner. At the same time, you might find that your leather needs extra work and care. If that is the case, you should get in touch with our team at Carpet Cleaning Pros.

How To Clean Leather Upholstery Safely

If you have any leather furniture, the first thing to note is that you are dealing with a very specific type of material. The first thing to do is check the care tag – it should come with a clear little tag that tells you what you can and cannot clean this particular kind of leather with. For example, below, we suggest that you use soap to clean the leather: you might find you need to use a specific kind of leather soap. If you are unsure, buying the good stuff is better than taking the risk!

Either way, the easiest way to give a leather sofa a nice clean and lift those mild stains is to make up a mixture of soapy, warm water. Then, take a clean washcloth and dampen it in the mixture. Now, start to wipe away the stains. Avoid being too rough, as you run the risk of cracking the leather or causing needless damage. If you use the right kind of soap – ‘saddle soap’ as it is known – you should see a big difference in cleanliness.

Once you are done, make sure you give the leather sofa a good clean down. Avoid leaving any wet spots, as this encourages cracking. Generally, though, a clean washcloth in some warm soapy water is enough to get rid of generic and typical stains on leather.

This can be extremely effective at getting the leather upholstery cleaned. For more specific stains and more general cleaning, though, consider hiring the pros. For general and typical care, though, the above should be enough.
