Rating of the best leather furniture cleaners for 2020

Leather furniture looks spectacular in almost any room, giving it a rich and presentable look. However, in order for such a delicate and capricious material to please the owner for many years, it needs careful, correct and timely care. The upholstery needs regular cleaning, moistening and nutrition. Otherwise, cracks and signs of peeling may appear on it, and the appearance will deteriorate. The market is replete with a variety of products for gentle care and effective cleansing of leather and leatherette products. Today's review will tell about the best of them.

Features of leather upholstery

The stores offer a huge range of various leather furniture. As a rule, products made of genuine leather are not cheap and periodically require special processing. But they also serve for more than a dozen years, giving charm and presentability to the interior. Provided, of course, correct operation and adequate care.

Five main advantages of leather and leatherette upholstery:

1. Aesthetic look. Leather furniture looks spectacular in almost any room.
2. Duration of operation. Thanks to a special technology, tanned leather is transformed into a soft material for upholstery. Such products are characterized by increased strength, resistance to minor damage and respectable appearance.
3. Anti-static. Dust accumulates in textiles. The skin does not have such a problem, it is much easier to clean it. Moreover, modern special household chemicals have an antistatic effect.
4. Moisture resistance. Accidentally spilled liquid is not absorbed, and the porous surface provides good air permeability. This prevents mold from forming under the upholstery.
5. Ease of care. In case of slight contamination, it is enough to simply wipe the surface with a special solution intended for products of the corresponding type.

Types of skin cleansers

Special cleaning agents can significantly extend the life of expensive furniture. However, you need to choose them with responsibility and care so as not to spoil the material.

Manufacturers use polished, structured or perforated leather for upholstery. And there is a cleaner for each type. A high-quality product can keep furniture intact for many years, so you should not save on it. But whatever the price, before use, you must definitely read the instructions and check the composition on an inconspicuous area of ​​the structure.

In reviews of some products, you can often find complaints about a damaged surface. If each user first read the rules for applying the composition, there would be several times fewer such comments.

Manufacturers advise cleaning with special balms at least two to three times a year. This is necessary to maintain elasticity and prevent the skin from drying out. It is especially important during the heating season, when the indoor air becomes dry.

There are eight main types of cleaners:

1. Cream.
2. Balm.
3. Kit for maintaining and restoring smooth skin color.
4. Special oil.
5. Impregnation.
6. Aerosol wax.
7. Stain remover powder.
8. Cleaning soap.

The composition of special cleaning agents should not contain acetone impurities, abrasive particles and solvents. For a specific type of contamination, it is recommended to use a specific type of cleaner.

In no case should you use ordinary washing powder or any other non-specialized household chemicals for washing leather furniture! With a high degree of probability, this will lead to bleached stains, streaks, scratches and permanent loss of aesthetics.

Things to consider before starting the cleaning procedure

Before you start cleaning the surface, you need to take into account the following nuances:

• checking the substance on an inconspicuous area of ​​the structure, as mentioned earlier;
• the stain should be wiped from the edge to the center;
• fresh dirt is best removed immediately after it appears. In such cases, you can most likely get by with simple soapy water;
• avoid getting household chemicals into the organs of vision. If this happens, immediately rinse your eyes with running water and, if necessary, seek medical help;
• use gloves;
• it is advisable to open windows before starting the procedure;
• keep away from children.

Compliance with these simple safety rules will prevent unwanted health effects and keep leather furniture looking attractive.

When is the best time to go to dry cleaning

You should entrust products to professionals in the following situations:

• lack of confidence in your own skills and doubts about the purifier;
• complex technology of using the product;
• if after self-cleaning the dirt has not disappeared.
