How to Properly Care for Leather Furniture

Leather is one of the most durable and stylish materials available for furniture. If you're interested in purchasing new living room furniture at the Lake of the Ozarks or you have leather and want to make sure you care for it properly, this blog is for you! As the best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks, we know how important it is to keep your furniture looking good with proper care. Take a look below to learn how you should care for your leather furniture.

How to Clean Leather Furniture:

There are a number of cleaning materials that are safe to use on leather. For dust and other loose particles, consider a microfiber cloth or vacuum with brush attachment. For liquid spills, use a microfiber cloth to wipe up the liquid as quickly as possible. This can help prevent the spill from soaking in through the protective barrier and staining the leather. For dried-on stains, consider using distilled water on a microfiber cloth to help loosen the stuck on particles. If a tougher regiment is needed to help clean your leather, consider a store bought leather cleaner. After putting any damp cleaning solution on your leather, be sure to wipe it off with a dry, clean cloth. This can help prevent the liquid from soaking into the leather. In addition to cleaning, you need to treat your leather furniture. Leather naturally dries out over time and a conditioning treatment can help it look and feel new. The conditioner can help extend the life of your leather and keep it from drying out and cracking!

Quick Leather Furniture Care Tips:

• Clean up spills right away
• Use soft materials to wipe off crumbs
• For tough stains, use a leather cleaning agent 
• Ensure a soft brush attachment is used when vacuuming
• Treat leather with a conditioner on a regular basis

It's Time to Beef Up that Man Cave!

Football season is in full swing, and here in mid-Missouri we are also excited about watching the World Series play out.  These give you plenty of reasons to call up your friends and make a party out of watching all of the games.  The best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks has what you need to keep everyone comfortable when they show up to your house.  Here are the items that will make your man cave the best in town.    

LEATHER

This is a long-lasting, sturdy material that is perfect for a room full of boisterous fans jumping up and down.  Spills wipe up easily with a damp cloth, so no worries if an exciting play causes food and drinks to suddenly fly in the air.  Rather than looking run-down with use, leather furniture's character gets better the more you use it.  Best of all, it's incredibly comfortable.  The only down side is that it might be hard to get your friends to leave when the game is over!

RECLINERS

There's nothing better than sinking into a big, cozy chair, kicking back, putting your feet up, and flipping on the TV.  With a remote control in one hand and your favorite beverage in the other, it's a good life!  Right now at Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach, you can get 2 for the price of 1.  Getting two is a perfect way to keep someone from sitting in your favorite chair.  Don't wait too long, because we can't promise how long this deal will last.  With a special like that, you may just want to surround the entire room with recliners!    

TABLES

Tables are very important, because you'll need something to hold all of that delicious game food.  A few end tables and a large coffee table placed around the room will give your guests plenty of spots to put down their plates and drinks.  Slumberland Furniture's Encore collection even offers a second level for storage underneath the table.

Which Is Best For You - Leather or Faux Leather?

When you think of luxurious furniture, leather is often what comes to mind.  Faux leather is an available alternative to those that do not like the idea of real leather, but love the look.  The best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks offers both of these choices in our Osage Beach furniture store.  

LEATHER

Luxury and leather are synonymous when it comes to furniture.  Many think that automatically means expensive, but these days there are many very affordable real leather options at Slumberland Furniture at the Lake of the Ozarks.  

Benefits:

• Leather, on average, lasts 4-5 times as long as fabric furniture, making it a great investment and well worth a little extra money in the long run.
• Quality leather gets better over time.  A soft sheen (patina) develops as it ages, adding character. 
• It's a breathable fabric and adapts to the room's temperature, meaning it's never too hot or too cold to sit on.
• Easy cleanup!  Simply wipe it off with a damp cloth.

     

FAUX LEATHER

Faux leather makes for beautiful furniture, and it is a wonderful way to get the stylish look of leather without using actual animal hide.  Most are made from polyurethane products.  

Benefits:

• The production of polyurethane faux leather is environmentally friendly.
• It's very durable, but still soft to the touch.  
• Just like the real leather, a damp cloth cleans it right up.
• It is water and scratch resistant.
• Some faux leather adapts to your body temperature.

Faux leather's drawbacks are that it may not last as long as real leather furniture, and while durable, it is more prone to tears and punctures.  It also does not develop that lovely patina over time.     

At the end of the day, it really boils down to personal preference.  You can trust the knowledgeable sales people at our Lake of the Ozarks furniture store to walk you through all of the pros and cons of each material.  Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach stocks a wide variety of styles and colors in both leather and faux leather items.  Stop by soon and take a look at what we've got.    

It's a good life!
