If it does happen, then your leather upholstery cleaning should be cleaned by an experienced upholstery cleaning Melbourne service provider. Here are tips for normal maintenance.

Clean your Leather Upholstery on Laundry Day

Clean your Leather Upholstery on Laundry Day: If you don't clean every room of your home on a set schedule, find a way to remember to clean your leather furniture. It's certainly not necessary to clean it on laundry day, but choose a day every week or two weeks to do a quick cleaning of your leather furniture. It's good to do light vacuuming with a soft brush attachment. This helps remove the dust and your leather will last longer.

Avoid Harsh Cleaners

Certain products can be very damaging to your upholstery. Take care in what you use to clean your leather. Always clean your leather immediately from any spills with a soft dry towel and then distilled water if necessary. Follow up with a dry towel. These are common cleaners people think are ok to use, but not. Never use:

• Oils
• Car cleaning products
• Furniture polish
• Waxes

Avoid Direct Sunlight

If your leather is exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat, it can be very damaging. The sun will dry and fade your leather. It will cause it to crack eventually. If you notice your leather getting hard, simply apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to soften it up.

Following these steps are proper methods to keep your leather upholstery looking new. When you do need a professional leather cleaning service, Excellent Cleaning will be here. Contact us today at 1300 398 328.
