Your house or apartment isn’t a museum. It’s a home where people and animals eat, drink, sleep, live, and work, and life is sometimes messy. That doesn’t mean you can’t protect your investment and keep it looking as good as possible for as long as possible for as little expense as possible.

Some upholstery and carpets come pretreated with a protector, which helps protect the material from water damage, spills, and long term soiling. If your new upholstery or carpeting doesn’t come pretreated, you can apply a protector yourself. It’s a simple process, and it takes less than 24 hours for the upholstery or carpet to dry.

Begin by making sure that your material can be cleaned with water. The protector can only be used on carpet and upholstery that can be cleaned with water. Next, test the protector on an unseen corner of the material. In rare cases the carpet protector can cause colors to run. Once you test, you can proceed with the application. If you are applying it to a large area, make sure you have enough carpet protector to do the entire area in one application. Make sure the room is well ventilated during and after the application.

Once your upholstery and rugs are protected, it should be easy to clean up after any spills that do occur. The faster you clean the spill, the better your results will be.

The protector will not only protect your furniture and carpets from spills and general soiling and make clean up easier, it also reduces the need to hire expensive and inconvenient professional upholstery and carpet cleaners to keep your upholstery and carpets looking good. After all, a bottle of carpet and upholstery protector costs about $10, but getting your carpets and upholstery cleaned can costs your hundreds.

Leather Furniture Restoration

elite-leather-sofaLeather furniture is a popular choice among furniture buyers because it is stylish, durable and comfortable. Unlike fabric upholstery, leather can be restored to its original state with proper cleaning and conditioning. Although leather may cost a little more than ordinary upholstery furniture, the biggest bang for the buck is had by investing in leather. Leather furniture will outlast typical fabric upholstered furniture with minimal maintenance.

Types of Leather

Leather furniture can be made with pigmented, suede or dyed leather. In order to clean leather, know the type of leather first before using cleaners or conditioners. A suede leather couch will need special cleaning and care by a professional. The typical leather couch has a smooth water-proof surface and has been treated with a protective conditioning treatment prior to purchase.

Placement of Leather Furniture

Leather furniture should not be exposed to direct sunlight or direct heat sources such as heating vents, radiators or fireplaces. Just as skin shows signs of aging when not properly protected from sunlight and heat, leather can become dull, dry and cracked with over-exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight. Periodic cleaning and conditioning of leather furniture will ensure that it remains attractive and in good condition.

Cleaning Leather

Weekly wiping down the leather furniture with a soft cloth will keep the leather free from dust buildup and will help to avoid dirt from being ground into the pores of the leather.

Leather cleaner should be used every couple of months in order to keep the furniture in good condition. Only an approved leather cleaner should be used as bleach or other household cleansers may damage the surface. It is best to do a colorfast test in an inconspicuous area before using any cleaner or conditioner on leather. Care should be taken to thoroughly remove dirt and oil from areas such arm rests and head rests. Once the leather has been totally cleaned with the proper leather cleaner, allow the furniture to properly dry before using it.

Conditioning Leather

Conditioning leather furniture once or twice a year with an approved oil treatment or leather conditioner is recommended to maintain and restore leather to its original appearance. Conditioners not only refurbish dull leather and renew the color, but can extend the life of the leather by keeping it supple and pliable thus keeping it from cracking. A conditioning treatment will coat the leather with a protective surface, will help to remove scratch marks, and restore the leather to its original state.

Ensuring that leather furniture remains soft and supple for years to come is not a difficult task. Simple cleaning and conditioning will keep the leather refurbished and looking as beautiful as it did when first purchased. Genuine leather furniture is a classy, durable and comfortable addition to any room. Keeping leather furniture clean and conditioned will enhance its appearance as years go by and help to maintain its value.
