Leather couches, lounges and armchairs need a different kind of care to fabric upholstery. Everyday oils, dust and spills can dry out and crack leather over time if it is only ever wiped with a general household cleaner, so a product made specifically for leather keeps it supple and looking its best for years.
Options include pH-balanced leather cleaning solutions that lift dirt without stripping natural oils, two-in-one cleaner-conditioner sprays that clean and moisturise in a single step, and soft microfibre applicator cloths designed to work the product in evenly across cushions and armrests.
A leather lounge is one of the more significant furniture purchases in a home, and regular conditioning is what keeps it from drying out, fading or cracking well before its time. A few minutes of care every month or so goes a long way.
For everything else your home needs beyond furniture, the broader specialty cleaning range covers surface-specific formulas for timber, tile and other household materials that also benefit from the right product.
Applying leather cleaner evenly, rather than scrubbing at it, protects the finish and avoids patchy results. A soft cloth spreads product without dragging grit across the surface.
Pair your leather cleaner with a soft cloths, sponges & brushes for buffing, and browse furniture & decor for pieces and accessories to round out your living space.
A light dust and wipe weekly is enough for most households, with a proper clean and condition every one to two months to keep the leather supple.
It is best to avoid this. Many general cleaners are too harsh or drying for leather and can cause fading, cracking or discolouration over time.
Light surface marks can sometimes improve with cleaning and conditioning, but deeper scratches usually need a specific leather repair product rather than a standard cleaner.
