The Importance of Maintaining Leather Furniture, New and Old

Jan 16, 2025 | Leather Expert Advice, leather protection tips | 0 comments

Maintaining leather furniture is important. Leather is more than just a material, it’s a statement of luxury, durability, and timeless elegance.

Whether you’ve just invested in a brand-new leather sofa or you’re looking to restore and protect a cherished leather heirloom, maintaining leather properly is key to preserving its beauty and integrity.

At The Leather Expert, we specialise in leather cleaning and leather protection services tailored for all leather types, ensuring your furniture stays in pristine condition for years to come.

Why Maintaining Leather is Crucial

Leather, while durable, is a natural material that requires care to maintain its unique properties. Over time, even the finest leather can suffer from issues such as:

E

Body Oil Absorption

Natural body oils can penetrate the leather, leading to discolouration and a breakdown of the leather’s structure.

E

Drying and Cracking

If leather dries out, the epidermis can fracture, compromising the leather’s integrity and leaving it vulnerable to further damage.

E

Environmental Damage

Sunlight, humidity, and pollutants can accelerate the photochemical process of discolouration and damage to the finishing layer of the leather.

Our decades of experience, 27 years and counting, have shown us that maintaining leather with proactive protection is the best way to combat these challenges and keep your leather looking and feeling luxurious.

Maintaining New Leather: The Smart Choice

Investing in a leather protection service as soon as you bring new leather furniture into your home is one of the best decisions you can make for maintaining leather. Our anti-soiling coatings are specially designed for all leather types, including:
