Hello! My name is Gerald and I own a large office block which is located in downtown Sydney. I am a very busy businessman so I spend a lot of time in my company offices on the telephone and having meetings. Last year, I noticed that the place was getting a bit untidy and I didn't want my staff to waste time cleaning the place up when they could be making more money for the company. I asked around and found a great cleaning company who now visit my office block twice a week to make sure it is super clean. My staff are much happier and so am I. This blog details the benefits of calling in a professional cleaner.
You spend a lot of time, money and effort to make your home feel comfortable and beautiful. Part of the effort includes equipping your residence with cosy and aesthetically pleasing furniture, and leather sofas are an excellent choice. Although a leather sofa is a one-time investment, longevity largely depends on maintenance. Unfortunately, most homeowners do not know much about taking care of leather-upholstered sofas. This post highlights the golden rules of cleaning a leather sofa.
Treat It Like Your Skin -- Most people forget that leather upholstery is animal skin. Unfortunately, this ignorance often leads to faster wear and tear and the need for expensive repairs. One golden rule of cleaning leather sofas is to treat them as you would your skin. If you do not give your skin some tender loving care, it will dry out. Similar issues happen when you do not treat leather like natural skin. Thus, use the proper cleaning supplies such as pH-balanced cleaners. Additionally, remember to be gentle and avoid rough scrubbing at all costs.
Invest in Leather Protector -- You can buy the most expensive leather sofa cleaning kit in the market, but your efforts will account for nothing if you do not invest in a protective spray. As their name implies, leather protection sprays create a protective layer on a sofa. Notably, it prevents elements such as spills from sinking deep into the leather, which leaves stains and damages the material. Protective sprays also make cleaning easy because dirt and spills remain on top of a sofa, allowing for quick and immediate cleaning. That said, it is crucial to read the label on protective sprays to buy a product that is not harsh on your leather couch. If you are unsure about the leather protective spray to buy, seek advice from a leather upholstery professional.
Keep It Simple -- As much as leather sofas require regular attention to maintain their condition, you should go slow on cleaning. Some homeowners get the urge to deep clean their leather sofas every other week, but it is the last thing you should do. For instance, cleaning a leather sofa frequently does not give the material enough time to breathe appropriately and age appropriately. Besides, it leads to faster deterioration of leather fibres. In fact, leather sofas look aesthetically pleasing when they age gracefully. Most importantly, keeping it simple with leather sofa cleaning helps maintain the material's natural and beautiful patina.
