What is the best way to care for new cream leather sofas?

New cream sofas just delivered today, very nice - but conflicting advice on how to care for them. Anyone got any good tips please?

Please do not use baby wipes on leather furniture - they will eventually destroy the finish on the leather.

It is crucial to protect all leather from new. This can be done yourself with Ultra Protect

or you can purchase Leather Protection Plans where a specialist leather technician will come to your home and show you the correct way of looking after your individual leather and protect it for you.

This will help to make your leather easier to look after and give you peace of mind that you can use your leather as it is intended.

Leather cleaning should be simple and quick with the correct methods and products.

Maintenance cleaning of leather is the best way to keep leather clean, protected and in good condition and can be done by using a simple spray and wipe product such as Lazy Leather - this type of cleaning should only take 5-10 minutes on the contact areas and if used on a very regular basis will reduce the need for very in depth cleaning which is what takes the time and effort and is generally done with 2 products.
Use a lint free white cloth for cleaning by this method so that you can check dirt levels as you are cleaning.

If you are deep cleaning always use a foam cleaner as this will be safe and you can give it good dwell time to do its work. Use a stiff bristled brush (like a kitchen brush) to get the foam down into the grain pattern to do its job (Do not use it to scrub the leather but for gentle agitation)

If you use a leather protector after cleaning it will help to make the cleaning process easier next time as the dirt will sit on the protector rather than on the finish of the leather and so will be easier to remove.

For general rules on cleaning leather furniture:

Using household products, cheap supermarket cleaners and 'old wives' remedies are very short sighted when it comes to cleaning and caring for leather and can become very costly in the long run as problems they generally cause will be costly to put right. (although it does keep people like ourselves busy as we rush round fixing problems caused by using the wrong things!!!)
Firstly check the type of leather you have so that you understand the results that are possible:

For deep cleaning leather you need to use a good quality water based foam leather cleaner. (LTT Leather Shampoo) With light coloured leather dye transfer from clothing can be a problem although using a good quality leather protector (LTT Leather Protect) will help inhibit this.

For dye transfer (which can be a real problem on pale coloured leathers) and ingrained dirt you may need a much stronger cleaner like Strong Cleaner or Maxi Cleaner (this should be used with caution)

DO NOT use anything containing oils, waxes or silicones. (Most 'conditioners' contain waxes or oils) and furniture polish (pledge) contains silicones which will eventually destroy the finish on the leather. Most car cleaners also contain oils or waxes so should not be used as they leave residues on the surface of the leather which attract more dirt which eventually leads to cracking.

BABY WIPES are the worst thing you can use as they will destroy the finish on your leather. This has been verified and proved to be the case. They are actually a very strong product and this is why they break down the finish. Leather is not like skin and should not be treated as such.

Saddle soap should never be usd on upholstery leather or garments it is meant for saddles which are very different from todays finished leathers.

A lot of leather wipes contain chemicals which will also destroy the finish or leave residues on the leather which will damage it. They are not cheap in the long run as you would need a lot to clean. Using wipes puts a lot of product on the first panel that you clean and then gradually gets less and less as you move around the furniture so you need a lot of wipes to clean the whole suite which works out far more expensive than using a proper cleaner which will also give better results.

Fairy liquid contains more salt these days to get dishes clean and this will break the finish down on your leather. This has been verified by the manufacturers (as with the baby wipes).

Magic Erasers should not be used unless you are going to renew the finish on you r leather. We have tested these recently and they sand away the top finish on the leather.

Lux flakes (although they used to be a good thing to use) now contain ingredients that will damage the finish on the leather and cause it to peel off like a skin (we have seen these happen hundreds of times at customers who have been ill advised by shops)

You should also follow cleaning with a good water based leather protector which will act like a 'scotchgard' and inhibit dirt and stains from being absorbed and m

Winter come and rings the message of buying peanuts that would be cracked beside the fireplace. The brightness of the winter sun reflecting off of snow and ice can lead to damage, spots, and skin cancer just as easily as in the heat of summer.

Symptoms of Winter Skin: -

*Dry Skin
*Older looking skin
*Flaking
*Redness

Skin care tips for winter: -

*Mix 2 table spoons of gingerly oil or any vegetable oil with a little water and rub to form an emulsion. Apply on dry skin, soak and then bathe.
*Use oats as a scrub to remove dry flaky skin. Pat with a moisturizer soon after.
*Never lick chapped lips - they will crack and bleed.
* If you have the luxury of a bath tub, add a cup of milk to your bath water, an essential oil like lavender and then soak for awhile.
*Soak feet in a bucket of warm water to which coconut oil has been added. Rinse off gently.
*Coconut oil and candle wax in equal quantity, heated together form a great cream that can handle chapped lips, elbows, knees and dry feet.

Winter Beauty Tips: -

*Even electric blankets can be drying. If dry skin is driving you crazy, just use two or three quilts and leave the electric blanket.
*Drink at least 7-8 glasses of water a day.
*You should moisturize throughout the day. Use the body lotion even before you have left the shower, right after rinsing soap or body wash. It will lock in some extra moisture. After that rinse off and pat dry.
*Use soap-free moisturizing cleansers
*You may be tempted to take a hot shower in winters but they wreak havoc on dry skin. Take a lukewarm shower instead, and then pat your skin dry with a towel. Put on the moisturizer as soon as you step out of the shower.
*Always wear gloves, scarves, etc while you go out.
*All the skin products and hairstyling products that are high in alcohol should be avoided. Alcohol may feel cool and refreshing initially, but in reality it also strips away moisture. So look for alcohol-free products when the air is already dry.
*Protect lips with lip balm/gel
*If you have dry, brittle hair, do not use the hair dryer. It will only make the dryness worse and break dry rough hair.
*Use a night cream on face and body before sleeping. Remove excess cream with moist cotton wool, which does not soak up moisture from the skin.
