How do you look after a leather corner?

Daily care of a leather corner - why is it so important? Leather corner sofas have been extremely popular for years. We choose them because they are sturdy and add character to the interior. However, to keep a leather corner looking great for years to come, it is not enough to dust it off once a month. Leather is a living material that breathes, changes and reacts to environmental conditions. How often should a leather corner be cleaned? It is best to wipe it down at least once a week with a soft, slightly damp cloth. It is advisable to use special preparations designed for natural leather, which not only remove dirt but also preserve the surface. Interesting fact: did you know that leather, just like human skin, needs "moisturising"? Without proper care, it can dry out, crack and lose its colour. In the case of an L-shaped corner or a U-shaped corner, it can take longer to clean all the nooks and crannies. Especially a corner with a bedding container needs attention - the container also needs to be cleaned regularly so that dust and moisture do not accumulate there.

It is a good idea to maintain a leather corner at least twice a year with professional impregnation products. This prevents liquids from soaking in and permanent stains from forming. Did you know that one of the biggest enemies of leather is UV radiation? Direct sunlight can cause the colour to fade and the material to dry out. Therefore, try to position your leather corner away from the window or cover the glass on the sunniest days. If you have a U-shaped corner that often serves as a meeting place for the whole family, protect its surface with special blankets or bedspreads, especially if there are children or pets in the house. The same applies to a corner sofa with a bedding container - additional protection will in no way reduce the comfort of use, and will significantly extend the life of the furniture. Leather corners are an investment for years, but only if you treat them properly. Is it worth risking cracking or discolouration just because you took a few minutes to waterproof?

Did you happen to spill coffee on your leather corner sofa? Don't panic. The most important thing is to act quickly. Use an absorbent cloth to remove the excess liquid, do not rub the stain! Then gently wipe the area with a damp cloth and apply a leather product. Avoid household methods such as soap, washing-up liquid or alcohol - they can only make the situation worse. For scratches and scrapes, special leather colouring creams can be used. However, if the damage is severe, it is better to consult a professional. A leather corner can look as good as new after professional restoration. What about odours? Natural leather has its own characteristic aroma, but if you feel that a leather corner is starting to smell unpleasantly, it is a good idea to air the room and use an odour neutraliser designed for leather. Never apply air fresheners directly to the fabric! In L-shaped and U-shaped corners and in corners with a bedding box, dust and moisture can hide in hard-to-reach places. Regular cleaning of nooks and crannies with a low-powered hoover nozzle can prevent mould and unpleasant odours.
