7 Common Mistakes That Can Destroy The Beauty Of Your Leather Loungers!

Leather lasts for years! Better said than done! We often buy leather furnishings because of its durability and high quality. But do you know even this gets spoilt if it isn’t cared for properly? And the expense of restoration in this case then becomes huge.

Even though it is the most expensive form of furnishings for your home décor, leather can wear out easily and even before time. It requires a lot of care and cleaning for its long life and beauty. That is why it is recommended that just as you get your carpets cleaned in Brisbane by carpet cleaning professionals, you should also get your leather furniture cleaned and cared for. 

•  Avoid these common daily mistakes for longer life of your leather furniture:

In our daily life, due to some common unintentional actions, we often tend to destroy the beauty of our leather furniture. This calls for a repair and cleaning service for your leather lounges in Brisbane. Absolute Carpet Care helps you to make your leather furniture look more attractive and just like a new one by its proper cleaning, repairing, recolouring and restoring. And for the daily precautions that need to be taken for better look and longevity of your leather lounges, read on:

1.       Keep it away from direct sunlight — Direct sunlight can be disastrous for your leather couches and furniture. It’s direct and harsh effect may fade away the colour of your leather upholstery. And what looks more devastating is when some of the area of the furnishing has its original colour and some have been affected by the rays. Thus, resulting in bleached patches on the furnishing. This can only be cured by its recolouring done through any professional service.

2.       Pet attack— You may be enjoying those friendly cuddles and licks from your pets. But your couches won’t! These pets may be really playful at times and can attack your leather couches for fun and frolic. This obviously leads to the wear and tear of the same, causing a great damage to your furniture. This looks unpleasant and also embarrassing. If the scratches are more, the torn area should be immediately repaired, as it may increase the gap with time, and later the whole couch can rift apart.

3.       Stains and spots — It may be due to kids staining the furniture or because of some other issue (like food or soda spills), there can be spots and stains on your leather couches. These are pretty tough to take out and may even become permanent sometimes. It’s best to get it cleaned regularly by an expert professional cleaning team. You can even opt for changing the entire upholstery and get a new cover on it if the stains are not removable.

4.       Body oils — This can be an issue faced by most of us. Especially in the reclining chairs. When we tend to relax on the same, the oil in our hair, scalp or skin can stain the leather couches. This also becomes quite tough to clean, and requires a professional hand sometimes to get it off.

5.       Harsh chemicals or bleach— Often for cleaning off the tough stains on the leather lounges we tend to opt for harsh chemicals and bleaching agents. This spoils the colour of it rather than cleaning it. The spots or stains formed due to the same are permanent and not at all repairable. You have to recolour it or change the entire leather covering.

6.   Damage due to moving of furniture —During the time of moving or shifting of furniture, these tend to get scratched or torn. The damage may also get worse if any sharp object gets inserted in it. The hole that may be caused in this process has to be repaired and stitched with perfection by an expert.

7.       Leather furniture packed away — A leather furniture if packed in a room with no ventilation, can start stinking with time. There may also be a growth of mould or fungus on the same. This though can be cleaned easily, but the smell is pretty much hard to fade.

Leather couches are the best ones to choose for an elegant looking room. All it requires is proper care and timely maintenance for better durability and consistent attractive appeal. If the above issues are avoided, you can enjoy the benefits of your leather furniture for longer and better.
