3 Tips for Summer Loving Leather
If cleaning your leather has been hanging on that Honey-Do list for a while, we have some great tips to help you renew and protect your leather this summer! The endless assault of chlorine, salt, sunscreen and sweat can be rough on leather, even if it's protected. Don’t forget, leather is skin! It has to be cleaned, hydrated and protected to stay beautiful!
1.Clean
Just because everyone is ready for fun in the sun, doesn't mean your leather is. Many times when we come in out of the heat and hit our favorite chair or lounger, we are sporting oily sunblock and an extra layer of sweat. These elements can absorb into your leather and darken the material, which becomes difficult to correct. Our Soft Cleaner draws dirt and oils up and out of your furniture without drying the leather. This cleaner is a mild water based product with no harsh chemicals or smells, making it safe to use around your family!
Easy Application
- Shake bottle and apply soft cleaner to the sponge (included in kit)
- Squeeze the sponge a few times to create a foam
- Work the foam into the leather with the sponge (concentrate on high use areas)
- Wipe away excess foam with a soft white cloth (included in kit)
- Allow to dry for 30 minutes
2.Protect
As I mentioned earlier, leather is like skin and must be cleaned then… protected and hydrated! Our Leather Protection Cream does just that. Like a moisturizer for your skin, the protection cream conditions the leather to keep it supple. This is key to prevent cracking! The cream also creates a protective barrier that seals in the leather’s natural oils and keeps daily grime out. To protect your newly cleaned leather follow these steps.
Easy Application
- Shake the bottle and apply the protection cream to a soft white cloth (included in kit)
- In a circular motion work the cream into the leather. ( I recommend 2 applications on high use areas like seats, armrests, and front panels)
- Allow to dry for 30 minutes
3. Relax !
After treating your furniture to a spa day, sit back, relax and, enjoy your summer!
- To maintain furniture between cleanings take a soft white cloth and run it over your leather furniture every month or two.
- We recommend treating your furniture 2-4 times a year depending on your usage.
- Keep leather furniture away from direct air conditioner streams to prevent drying.
- Keep leather furniture out of direct sunlight, as this scan cause color loss and fading.
- DO test for colorfastness in a hidden area with ANY furniture product.
- DO NOT use abrasives, polishes,solvents, detergents, regular household cleaners or soaps.
