If you want your space to look great, leather recliners are a good place to start. Leather recliners are beautiful when they're clean, but when they're dirty, they are more eyesore than eye-catching. Fortunately, learning how to clean a leather recliner is surprisingly easy. Take the time to figure it out and you'll be able to make your furniture investment shine.

 

 

 

 Cleaning Leather Recliners:

1. Prevent dirt. The best way to clean your leather recliner is to not clean it at all; rather, keep it clean. Protecting your recliner from dirt, stains and scuffs is easier than you think. When it's not in use, cover it with a sheet to fend off dust, and when you need it for casual events, keep it covered as well. This will keep your recliner looking new for years to come.
   
2. Vacuum it regularly. If you do need to clean your leather recliner, start by vacuuming dust and dirt off of it. Don't press too hard with the vacuum; leather is easily scratched.
   
3. Dilute leather cleaner. Prepare a cleaning solution by diluting commercial leather cleaner in a bucket with warm water.
   
4. Wash it. Dip a rag in the bucket of cleaner, wring it out and then work over your recliner without soaking the leather. Make sure to clean between nooks and crannies and less-visible places as well.

   Remove cleaner. Once you've covered the leather recliner in cleaner, it's time to wipe it off with a rag dipped in warm, clean water. Be sure to remove the cleaner completely without getting the leather too wet.
   
6. Dry it off. After wiping your leather recliner down with warm water, dry it with a soft, clean rag or cloth. Dry it carefully and thoroughly, as leaving leather wet can cause unsightly damage.
