PRODUCT CARE
LEATHER CARE
Maintaining leather recliners is often a hard task. Many people would preferably leave the job to professionals, in spite of the cost. However, for those who might want to clean it themselves, there is a way. The most critical advice is to avoid water at all costs. The significant detriment to using the liquid is that it leaves huge stains on the leather.
The best alternative is to use a steam cleaner. It might be another expense that you might not be willing to accommodate, but in the long run, it is worth it. Not only does it remove the usual dust, but it also gets rid of the bad smells that could have accumulated. Another option could be the use of saddle soap. It will remove all the dirt, while also ensuring that the seat does not develop cracks.
​
Use a soap with a mild pH balance or make up a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t leave marks or cause discoloration.
Step 1:
Use a soft damp cloth to rub the solution gently but firmly onto the chair and allow to dry.
Step 2:
Use another dry cloth to buff and polish the surface and remove most of the product. There’s no need to rinse.
Step 3:
Treat your chair with a leather conditioner or wax once or twice a year to keep it supple and protect it from drying out or cracking.
FABRIC CARE
Cleaning a fabric recliner is not as difficult as taking care of a leather one. Nevertheless, that does not mean that you should ignore it. The first thing to always consider is vacuum cleaning. The fabrics on recliner chairs can be sensitive and delicate, and thus, extreme care is necessary. It is recommended to have a soft brush doing the work.
Secondly, baby wipes come in very handy in the process of cleaning the seats. That is best for taking care of small spots with dirt.
​
It is also good practice to have microfibre cloth available in the house. Combined with a fabric cleaner, it can do an outstanding job of cleaning. While the fabric may not be as sensitive to water as the leather, it would be excellent if the owner could avoid it entirely.

LEATHAIRE CARE
Assuming you have a spill, the best way to remove it is by dabbing at the area with a dry, clean cloth. If that doesn’t work, you can try using distilled water and a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and never put air leather in the washing machine or dryer.
When it comes to air leather furniture, regular vacuuming and dusting are key to keeping it looking its best. You can also spot-clean it with a mild soap and water solution. Always test any cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn’t damage the material.
TAKE CARE OF THE MECHANICS
The principal difference between a standard seat and a recliner chair is the mechanical part. The feature that makes it move around and be manipulated into different angles is also essential when considering maintenance. It is even more critical in recliner chairs for the elderly as they may not have the ability to take care of the furniture appropriately. It is pertinent to ensure to regularly oil the mechanical section.
​
Again, it is better to be proactive than reactive. Do not wait until the chair produces creaking sounds, or the movement is suddenly jeopardised. Oil it before, and it will serve you diligently for a long time.

Here’s how our top tips advice on recliner maintenance to make sure it lasts for many years.
PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR CHAIR
It is always best to start on a proactive stance and take preventative measures before anything happens to the furniture. Indeed, the number one to guarantee long life from recliner chairs is to avoid placing them in direct sunlight. The majority of the chairs are made of leather, which can be deeply affected by direct sunlight. The leather starts to fade out and get cracks, which leaves it looking old and worn out.
​
Another measure is to reduce some strong odours from reaching the seat. For example, smokers are likely to leave the smell on the fabric, and that will only fasten the ageing process.
Finally, it is worth changing the loose cushions often. This will reduce the wear and tear process, which is usually accelerated by concentrated use.
