Share
Leather furniture is a timeless investment that adds luxury and comfort to any home. But without proper care, leather sofas and chairs can dry out, crack, or lose their shine. In this guide, we’ll cover how to clean, condition, and protect your leather furniture so it stays soft, beautiful, and long-lasting.
Why Leather Furniture Care Matters
Leather is durable, but it’s also a natural material that needs regular care. Proper maintenance will:
-
Prevent cracks, fading, and peeling
-
Keep leather soft and comfortable
-
Protect against spills and everyday wear
-
Extend the life of your furniture
Step 1: Clean Your Leather Furniture
-
Dust weekly with a soft, dry cloth or vacuum using a brush attachment.
-
Spot clean spills immediately with a damp (not wet) cloth—never let liquids soak in.
-
Avoid harsh cleaners, bleach, or abrasive cloths, which damage leather.
💡 Pro tip: Always test any cleaner or conditioner on a hidden area first.
Step 2: Condition Your Leather Sofa or Chair
Conditioning restores natural oils and prevents dryness.
-
Apply a small amount of Leather Nourish All-Natural Leather Conditioner to a clean cloth.
-
Gently rub into the leather in circular motions.
-
Allow it to absorb for several hours.
-
Buff with a dry cloth for a soft, natural shine.

Keep furniture out of direct sunlight to avoid fading.
-
Maintain a comfortable indoor climate—extreme heat or dryness can damage leather.
-
Rotate cushions and seating areas to evenly distribute wear.
-
Keep pets’ claws and sharp objects away from surfaces.
Step 4: Seasonal Care & Storage
-
Condition every 3–6 months, depending on climate and usage.
-
For seasonal homes, always clean and condition before long periods of vacancy.
-
Cover with breathable cloths if furniture will sit unused for extended time.
