Leather Care Tips
How do I care for my leather?
Quality leather care is easy when done correctly. AVOID the use of household cleaning products (even baby wipes) that are not approved for leather. Investing in a quality leather conditioner is very important - we have found “Leather Protection Cream” to be an excellent choice! Conditioning at least 2x each year is key to keeping leather from drying out. Cleaning leather can be done with a simple damp warm cloth. Use a very mild dish soap solution when deeper cleaning is required. Routine conditioning along with the leather care tips below will extend the life of your leather for years to come.

Do’s and Don’ts:
Do not put tape on leather, this can remove the finish.
Do not use any household cleaning products, including baby wipes, on your leather! Only use quality products designed for this purpose.
Test all products (even those for leather) in a hard to see area before applying generally.
Keep leather out of direct sunlight. Failure to do this will result in significant fading over time.
Spills can be soaked up with a sponge or paper towel.
Do not scrub spills! Dab dry to remove as much of the stain as possible, then apply cleaner using a circular motion with a soft rag or brush. Do not saturate the leather.
Most leathers (except full aniline) can be routinely cleaned with water and a lightly damp cotton cloth or sponge. Products are available where deeper cleaning is necessary.
Rotate cushions and use of your leather so the surface wears evenly.
Clean and protect your leather at least 2 times a year with a quality leather care product.
A minor scratch on leather can often be easily fixed (see YouTube) but for serious damage call a professional.
For ink stains, rub carefully using a diluted dish soap mix as soon as possible! When done cleaning, make sure to apply leather conditioner with a soft rag to replace any moisture to the leather and restore its shine.
