How to Clean a Wood Desk With a Leatherette Top

Wooden desks and tables that have leather or leatherette tops can seem a bit of a cleaning challenge initially, but really are not all that difficult to maintain. The key to cleaning a wooden desk with a leatherette is that you have to clean two separate materials that each have their own maintenance needs. Caring for your desk properly will enable the piece of furniture to remain in good condition for many years to come.

Liquid soap
Water
Wash cloths
Wood cleaner/polish

Instructions

- 1
  Wipe loose dust and grime off of your desk with a clean, dry wash cloth. Wiping your desk down on a regular basis can help you remove a significant amount of dirt without the use of any additional chemicals.
- 2
  Spray or pour wood polish onto a clean wash cloth and wipe down the wooden parts of your desk to remove dirt from the wood and bring out its natural shine.
- 3
  Clean the leatherette portion of your desk by wiping it down with a damp wash cloth and mild liquid soap. Leatherette is not real leather; it is a type of plastic, and you can use virtually any plastic-safe cleaning product on it without having to worry about damaging it.
