General Leather Care Tips
- Regularly vacuum your leather furniture with an upholstery attachment to remove dust. 
- To minimize fading, place leather furniture where it won't be exposed to direct sunlight. 
- Regularly remove the zippered casings from seat and back cushions to fluff and rotate the cushion inside. This ensures even wear and helps your cushions last longer. 
- We recommend specific cleaning and conditioning products based on leather type: top grain, nubuck or synthetic. Confirm which type of leather you purchased before cleaning or conditioning. 
- For large or persistent stains, contact a professional upholstery cleaning company. 
How to Clean and Condition Top-grain Leather
- Immediately blot spills with a clean white cloth, moving toward the center of the spill. Don't rub. 
- We recommend Guardsman® Clean & Renew to treat stains. 
- For water-based stains, use leather cleaner according to package directions. 
- Oil-based stains are more difficult to remove initially, but dissipate into the leather over time. 
- If the leather feels dry to the touch or appears lighter in color, apply Guardsman® Protect & Preserve to restore softness and color. 
How to Clean and Condition Synthetic Leather
- We recommend treating the surface with Guardsman® Protect & Preserve annually to protect the leather from drying out. 
- For minor spills, wipe the synthetic leather with a damp cloth. Do not use soap, harsh detergents or excess water, which can leave marks. 
- Spot cleaning can change the appearance of one spot. When cleaning, clean a broad area to ensure even wear. 
- Place synthetic leather furniture at least one foot away from heat sources so it doesn’t dry out.
