Some people say you should avoid buying leather furniture because it requires too much maintenance, but that’s not necessarily the case. If you know how to care for leather furniture, it's rather easy.. Luckily for you, The Steam Team knows all about leather cleaning and conditioning, and we’ve compiled this short guide to help you take great care of your leather furniture.

How To Deal With Spills

The first thing you should be concerned with is avoiding spills, or if you do spill something on your leather furniture, wipe it off quickly. When wiping a spill on leather furniture, use a soft, dry cloth and allow the area to air dry. If you aren’t able to find a cloth quick enough for whatever the reason may be, simply spread the spill towards the edge of the furniture and brush it off. Though this may sound like you’re just spreading the stain around, you’ll actually eliminate the outline of the watermark, which is the most obvious sign of a stain.

Properly Conditioning

If your furniture is a piece of real leather, then it was once part of a living animal. Since that animal is no longer able to condition the leather with its natural body oils, the burden of conditioning the leather falls on you, and you’ll have to do it regularly to keep the leather in good condition. It should be about every 6 to 12 months. For specifics, contact the manufacturer of your specific piece of furniture.
