It is so easy for leather furniture to stain but there is a great way to protect it.
Use our Oakwood Leather Conditioning Cream to provide your leather with a protective barrier against common spills, stains and marks associated with every day use. Our cream also replaces any lost moisture from natural ageing.
All timber requires regular care and maintenance in order to preserve the natural characteristic, look and finish that was originally intended.
This type of furniture includes but is no limited to; outdoor furniture, coffee tables, kitchen benches and chairs, fine antiques, office furniture, window paneling and wood trimmings.
One way to keep wooden furniture looking its best is to keep it in the shade.
Also make sure you keep your wooden furniture away from window sills, heaters and direct sunlight. Exposure to ultraviolet light, high humidity and heat will fade and lighten the wooden surface.
Stubborn stains in leather can be tricky to remove.
Use our Oakwood Leather Care Deep Clean Soap together with a soft bristle brush. Apply gentle circular motion on the stain to help remove stubborn dirt and grime stuck within the pores of the leather. Never use steel wool or kitchen scrubbers as they are too harsh and will damage the leather finish.
Common problems associated with leather furniture include discolouration of finish, dehydration, cracking, damage to fine stitching, sun damage, stains, marks and colour fading.
The secret to preventing these problems is to properly treat your leather, before they happen.
Always try to keep your wood dry.
Regular spills on timber surfaces will penetrate the grain of the wood, which can cause swelling, warping and stains. If the surface of the wood gets wet, dry it quickly. It’s also a great idea to always use coasters, placemats and table cloths which will help protect wooden furniture.
Leather is a natural product that is used to being regularly oiled and maintained by a living animal.
From the moment the leather is no longer being fed by its natural oils, it starts to dehydrate. Leather is porous, similar to our skin and without regular moisturising it can become dry and brittle.
Absolutely, our products are suitable for all types of leather colours.
Our leather furniture care products can be used on all smooth, pigmented finished coloured surfaces.
Dusting your wood regularly will help reducing scratching.
Ideally you should dust and clean timber furniture once week, as dust and other particles left on the surface of the timber can be abrasive. If allowed to build up, the timber surface and the furniture’s finish will be subject to scratching.
To keep your leather feeling soft and luxurious, it requires a little protection from us.
Keep your leather away from heat and direct sunlight. Also always try to keep your leather furniture away from heaters and out of direct sunlight. Direct heat sources will discolour, fade and dry out your leather over time, which will lead to permanent damage.
