Leather sofa and chairs have come to be loved in many homes across different periods. In their different shapes, sizes and colours, they make elegant furniture for various sections of the home. They look gorgeous and luxurious and make a statement of their owner’s tastes.
It needs to be made known, however, that the leather that provides covering to sofas and some parts of some beds beauty are used products that have been extracted from animal that it once belong to before getting down to the furniture.
Leather dries with time. Therefore, it is not surprising that leather tears or cracks at this season. Sunlight, perspiration, humidity and other environmental conditions have adverse effects on it
Tiny cracks begin to manifest in the leather and dye when it dries out. Continuous drying of the leather only makes the cracks bigger and more noticeable. In extreme condition of dryness, the tendency is for the leather to become brittle and crack into two pieces.
The panacea is maintenance by moisturising by care specialist in leather products during cleaning process to prevent its being knocked down under the weather. Replacing moisture in the leather will help to give lasting age and make the furniture look great again.
Reasonable level of care is needed under normal usage and is also needed in the protection of weather from the elements. Dust frequently to prevent clogging the pores. Wipe excess spill and liquid with absorbent cloth once they occur. Avoid using soap or soaking stain heavily with water as this may cause more damage.
Do not expose to sunlight as this can cause the colour to fade. Ensure that the right cleaning solutions are used because some chemicals remove the natural oils contained in leather.
