A leather couch is solid, but paradoxically, it's also very fragile. Sitting down and lying on it all the time, our couch is falling apart. Regular maintenance is also required in order to maintain a good look, to fight its drying and to give it back its brightness. It is also necessary to ensure that it is maintained on a regular basis. A few tips that help us make our leather sofa almost more beautiful than before.

Comment entretenir un canapé en cuir ?

How do you rekindle the shine of her leather couch?

Making your leather sofa less dull, even after several years, it's possible. Once a month, with a soft sponge slightly humidified and impregnated with Marseille soap, it is rubbed with circular movements. Without rinsing, dry it by buffering it with a soft cloth. Instead of Marseille soap, we can also use glycerine soap normally used to maintain the saddle of horses. Glycerin has this virtue of protecting leather. There are now commercially available versions to clean and maintain your leather sofa.

The hunt for tasks

Even on the leather on our sofa, some stains are repairable. You just need to know how to do it … First, you soak a cotton milk remover (a beauty ally for our sneakers too) and a few drops of white vinegar or a drop of ammonia. The task of the leather sofa is then worked on by circular movements. Attention, to avoid enlarging the stain, change cotton as soon as it is dirty. As a precautionary measure, if possible, a pre-test test is made with a cotton swab on a non-visible spot on the sofa. Then let it dry.

To fix the little bobos on my leather couch.

Very delicately, one passes a pumice stone over the scratch of the leather sofa, then massages it with a little vaseline. Let it dry. Finally, we wax with polish of the same color as leather. Another option is to mask the hook with an indelible felt of the same colour or with Chinese ink if the leather is black. You can also entrust your leather sofa to a professional for a complete renovation, but to do so, you have to pay several hundred (or thousands) of euros.

Moisturize = maintain my leather sofa well

Leather is skin. As a result, in the end there is no need to spend thousands and cents on various products. Moisturizing milk or baby milk can also do well as long as your leather sofa is generously massaged with a sponge toilet glove.
