How To Maintain Pu Leather?

Now, PU leather is prone to wear. Still, with the right maintenance, these leather goods can last for several years. Begin with not placing your PU leather goods in direct sunlight.

Even though this type of leather is sunlight resistant, too much of it for prolonged time periods can harm the material. For everyday care, use a dry non-abrasive, lint-free cloth to clear off any dust and dirt.

You can soak a cloth or a sponge in warm water and gently clean the surface of your PU leather sofa or bag. This type of leather does not absorb water. Therefore, it is indeed easy to clean and maintain. Since this leather is non-porous, unlike real leather, stains tend to remain on the surface.

You can't use just anything to get rid of the stain. Bleaching is a huge no! Chemicals in bleachers will dry out this leather. Owing to these reasons, you should use a mild, unscented bar of soap or liquid soap and rub on the stain and wipe it with a wet cloth. If it’s a clothing item, then let it hang in the air to dry. If it’s furniture, avoid touching or sitting on it, until it’s completely dry.

 While this type of leather is likely to tear, chip and scratch, deep scratches are difficult to deal with. So better use it with care. However, heating with a hairdryer may help in removing mild scratches.

 If you are keen on looking after your PU leather goods for a long time, use leather conditioners from time to time. Leather conditioners will add a moistening layer on the top of the leather and keep your leather in mint condition for a long time.
