Homemade Leather Cleaner
We all love the smell of leather and its attractive look. Doesn’t matter if it is an expensive sofa or a nice jacket, keeping leather looking clean and new could be a tough job.
Commercial leather cleaners are not only very expensive, but they could also be harmful for both your health and the environment. On the other hand, cleaning services Islington charge a lot to get your leather furniture professionally cleaned.
There is no need to worry though, as you could easily make your own cleaning solutions, using products you could find in every home.
The cleaning products you are going to use depends on the type of leather you are trying to clean. You could find information about it on the tags of your leather furniture or clothes. Make sure you read all the manufacturer’s care recommendations and follow them.
Another important thing about leather is to take care of it regularly. Vacuuming it or wiping it with a damp cloth every day will save you lots of money and time spent in cleaning. If you let dirt build up on leather, you will be facing a serious cleaning problem.
If the leather is not stained, you could simply use a solution of water and a few drops of liquid soap to clean it. Remember to rinse all the excess foam and dry leather carefully.
If you have stains on the leather, you could try using some of our stain cleaning tips, instead of calling an Islington end of tenancy cleaning team:
- Grease stains – Simply use a soft dry cloth to blot all the excess grease. Never use a damp cloth, as this will make the stain set in.
-
Blood stains – Cover them with a paste made of equal parts of cream of tartar and lemon juice. Wait for a few minutes and rinse with a damp cloth.
-
Ink stains – spray the stain with hairspray, let it stay for a while and rinse with a damp cloth.
If those methods don’t help you could buy a commercial leather cleaning product. Choose one that is “eco-friendly” instead of a very strong and toxic one.
