The Secrets to Good Looking Leather

High quality leather can last forever if it is cared for properly. Keeping your new leather furniture looking good is simple when you know the secrets. These tips from the experts at irohu.com will ensure the longevity your leather furniture piece deserves.

• Keep leather away from the direct sunlight at all times to prevent fading and cracking. This also applies to powerful down lights and lamps.

• Avoid placing furniture too close to heaters, fires and other sources of heat, as it too causes the leather to crack and dry. Keep a minimum of 3 metres from the direct source.

• Clean regularly with a non-alcohol based leather cleaner, followed by a leather protection cream. Available at furniture stores, the protection cream provides a barrier in case something spills on the leathers surface.

• Make sure the leather is in a well ventilated position to prevent mould and mildew from forming. Where possible, remove cushions regularly for airing.
