How to Clean Stains, Spills, and Dust Off Your Leather Lounge

Regular Dusting and Vacuuming

Regular dusting and vacuuming is, of course, a basic routine in maintaining your leather lounge. Dust and other particles can accumulate on the surface; and when they mingle with body oils, they can lead to the deterioration of the leather. Use a soft, dry cloth or a microfiber cloth to dust the surface gently and a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove any loose dirt and debris.

Cleaning Spills Immediately

When spills happen, it is crucial that you clean them immediately. Blot the spill gently using a clean, dry cloth or a sponge to prevent it from soaking into the leather. Avoid rubbing, as it may cause the spill to spread or the leather to discolor. For liquid spills, use an absorbent cloth and press it against the spill gently until it absorbs the liquid.

Handling Stains

Stains can significantly affect the appearance of your leather lounge so make sure that you deal with stains promptly and correctly. Identify the type of stain and use a suitable cleaner for it.

For ink stains, use a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol and gently rub it over the stain, being careful not to spread the ink. For food stains, create a mixture of mild soap and water and clean the stain using a soft cloth. Ensure to dry the area thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water stains.

Conditioning the Leather

After cleaning, it is ideal to condition the leather to maintain its flexibility and prevent cracking. Apply a suitable leather conditioner to keep the leather hydrated and preserve its natural oils. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the conditioner's application and frequency of use to avoid over-conditioning, which might lead to a buildup of residue.

Using Leather Protectant

Applying a leather protectant can further shield your lounge from stains and spills. It forms a protective barrier on the surface, repelling liquids, and making cleaning easier. Like with conditioning, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when applying protectants. Check out our Warranty-Guardsman Leather product for this.
