Leather Care Guide
Caring for Your Leather Furniture-Tips from The Original Couch Potato Furniture Co. and VandeCare
Leather is a natural hide—alive, porous, and in need of care just like our skin. With proper maintenance, leather furniture can look and feel luxurious for years.
Here are some essential tips to keep your leather in excellent condition, brought to you by The Original Couch Potato Furniture Co. and VandeCare, experts in leather care.
Protect Your Leather from Damage
Avoid Direct Sunlight
Keep leather furniture out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and cracking.
Maintain Distance from Heat or Cold Sources
Place furniture at least 1.5 meters away from heaters, air conditioners, or fireplaces to avoid damage caused by extreme temperatures.
Choose Safe Cleaning Products
Avoid harsh household chemicals, which can harm leather. Instead, rely on VandeCare’s trusted leather care range, designed specifically for cleaning, protecting, and nourishing leather.
Regular Maintenance for Long-Lasting Leather
Dust and Clean Regularly
Dust can dry out leather over time. Treat your furniture every 4 to 6 months, depending on usage and exposure to pets.
Moisturize Like Skin: Leather needs regular moisturizing to stay supple and durable. Use VandeCare Hide Food, a rich natural crème, to feed and nourish your leather.
Recommended Products for Leather Care
VandeCare Leather Kit:
Includes leather soap, treatment crème, a soft sponge, and a microfiber cloth for easy cleaning and conditioning.
