How to Clean Pleather Upholstery

Good pleather upholstery provides the look of real leather without the high cost and maintenance requirements. Pleather furniture is available in a wide variety of colors, finishes and styles to suit any home. Pet hair, food or drink spills, and dirt can ruin the appearance of pleather upholstery. As with most fabrics, taking quick action after a spill can prevent tough stains from setting in. Vacuum your pleather upholstery regularly, and clean it with a mild laundry detergent to keep it looking like new.
