How to Clean Leather Upholstry

Leather upholstery, used to make sofas, loveseats, car interiors and chairs, is a natural, durable material that resists stains and repels moisture, making it a practical choice for any home or vehicle. Dust your leather upholstery on a regular basis to prevent dirt from building up on the surface. Clean and condition your leather upholstery at least twice a year with products made specifically for use on leather.
