How to clean an eco-leather sofa?
Cleaning an eco-leather sofa requires some patience and the right approach. First, remove any loose debris or dirt from the sofa. You can use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment. Gently go over the surface of the sofa to pick up things like crumbs, hair, or dust.
Then, make a cleaning solution. Mix a small amount of mild detergent or a specialized eco-leather cleaner with warm water in a bucket. Stir it gently to make sure the detergent is well dissolved. Take a clean, soft sponge or a soft cloth. Dip it into the cleaning solution and wring it out well so that it’s damp but not dripping wet.
Start cleaning the sofa from one end. Gently wipe the surface of the eco-leather in a back-and-forth or circular motion. Pay attention to areas that are more likely to get dirty like the seats and armrests. If there are any spills or stains, you can spend a bit more time on those areas, gently rubbing to lift the stain. For example, if someone spilled coffee on the seat of the sofa, keep wiping with the damp sponge until the coffee stain starts to disappear.
Once you’ve cleaned the whole sofa, use another clean, damp cloth with just warm water to rinse off the cleaning solution. This helps to remove any soap residue. Wipe the sofa thoroughly to make sure no cleaner is left behind.
After that, let the eco-leather sofa air dry naturally in a well-ventilated room. Open the windows or turn on a fan to help with the drying process. Avoid sitting on the sofa until it’s completely dry. You can also use a leather conditioner suitable for eco-leather from time to time to keep the sofa looking nice and to maintain its softness and durability.
