The process to clean leather furniture is pretty easy. It only takes a few household ingredients, but must be done correctly to avoid damages and get the stains out. Here’s how we suggest you clean your leather couch:
Regular Cleaning
It’s necessary to clean your leather furniture at least every few months to keep it in pristine condition.
What You Need:
- Vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment
- A few dry microfiber cloths
- Vinegar
- A large bowl or bucket
How to Clean Your Leather Regularly:
- Remove cushions
- Use the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to suck up any loose dust on the cushions and underneath them.
- Wipe the furniture down with a clean dry cloth.
- Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a bucket.
- Get only a section of the cloth wet with the vinegar mixture and blot the areas that need some love.
- Lastly, wipe the furniture down with a dry, soft cloth.
Pro Tip: When cleaning leather furniture, make sure that you do not saturate the leather. This can cause irreversible damage.
Removing Stains
Stain removal is a little trickier. Here’s how we suggest cleaning various types of stains on leather couches:
What You Need to Treat Grease Stains:
- A dry, soft cloth
- baking soda
How to Treat a Grease Stain:

- Wipe away the baking soda in circular motions with a dry cloth rag.
