It’s simply amazing and astonishing how many questions and comments I keep getting every single week asking me about how to clean soft faux leather fabrics, unfortunately, most people do not understand how to work with such a “sensitive product”, at least that’s what they tell me!
Then, is soft faux leather fabric really sensitive and weak, at least compared to real leather?
Absolutely not, a soft faux leather fabric is very resistant and easy to work with, in fact, much more elastic and resistant than real leather, however, this only applies when you know how to deal with it.
The first thing I’m going to tell you in this post is related to how to clean your soft faux leather fabric.
You don’t have many options when you are dealing with faux leather, and if you make a mistake, you will regret it for a very quickly!
For example, my youngest son stained our soft faux leather sofa, he went to the kitchen and got bleach cleaner and started cleaning it only to be surprised that it started losing its color and it’s even started cracking!
This is a terrible mistake most people are going to make when they don’t know how to clean soft faux leather fabrics, in fact, you should stay away from bleach cleaners and alcoholic beverages and alcohol in general as much as possible whenever you are dealing with faux leather.
It’s because these chemicals are very reactive, in other words, they are going to change the molecular structure of faux leather and this means that damages are going to occur!
Then, how to clean soft faux leather fabric?
It’s very easy; you just need some warm water and a clean sponge.
Just wipe!
The second thing I need to talk to you about is how to maintain your soft faux leather fabric in perfect condition.
Although this may seem like an easy task, after all, you just have to keep it clean! It’s not! As with real leather, faux leather is also very sensitive to the elements, especially sunlight, that’s why you need to use a leather conditioner as much as possible, preferably once every three months.
These are by far the best things you can do in order to clean and also maintain your soft faux leather fabrics in perfect condition, and if you have a question, an idea, or just a comment, please, post it in the section below; I will try to answer you very quickly.
