Leather is one of the most durable, long lasting materials available. Once the exclusive domain of royalty and the wealthy, leather furniture is now very affordable, especially when compared luxurious comfort.

Following are some tips to keep your leather looking like new for years to come:

Weekly – Leather furniture needs to be dusted weekly to keep the pores in the leather clear of dust paricles. It's easy to do. Simply wipe the furniture with a soft cloth. It sounds like a small task, but this single chore can keep your leather looking and feeling new for years to come.

Spot Cleaning – Most food and beverage spills should be cleaned up immediately using a light detergent soap. All other stains, such as ink, grease, blood, was or gum, should be removed with a professional leather cleaner. Time is of the essence when something gets on the leather so be sure you keep a supply of cleaner on hand in your home.

Every Three Months – When you get your leather furniture, apply a high quality leather conditioner/preservative immediately to keep the leather soft. Clean the leather, particularly on the wear surfaces every three months with a quality leather cleaning product. Be sure you follow the directions on the bottle. Once it is clean, reapply the conditioner/protectant so the leather will continue to perform for years to come.
