How To Choose The Best Upholstery Leather Cleaner

If you are looking for the best leather cleaner, here's something you should know -Independent Leather Testing has shown that most common cleaners used around the home AND many sold commercially as leather cleaners, can seriously damage your leather!

Before you buy a cleaner, here are some important things you should know to help you make the right choice ...

1:- Upholstery Leather Has A Micro-Porous Finish

What this means is, the finish on your upholstery leather, is not 100 percent sealed, like vinyl or other household surfaces. The finish is micro-porous, which allows it to breathe. That's why in summer it feels cool and in winter, warm.

2:- Cleaning Leather Regularly Is Important

With daily use, soiling and contamination will form on the surface and if left without cleaning, will form an acidic residue and will etch into the finish undoing the resins and binders, resulting in break down of the finish.

3:- Don't Use House-Hold Cleaners!

Soaps, waxes, silicones, detergents and petroleum-based products can be harmful to your leather. These products will not only eat into the surface but will also soak through the micro-pores and into the substrate. This will seriously reduce its life expectancy.

4:- Only Use A Leather Cleaner Which Has Been Independently Tested

Testing authorities can simulate normal wear and tear and test a product to find out how they affect leather. Unfortunately, most leather cleaners never get to be tested and many of those which HAVE been tested, failed.
