If you’re noticing some damage, don’t worry—repairing it is easier than you think. IKEA will help you bring your leather back to life, ensuring it looks great and stays comfortable for years to come. With a little care, you can restore its softness and rich look. Follow these simple steps to clean, nourish, and protect your leather. Let’s get started!
What else do you need?
- Mild soap
- Leather conditioner
Step 1: Clean the area
Before starting, clean the damaged area with a mild cleaner and a soft cloth. This removes dirt and oils, making sure the conditioner adheres properly. Let the area dry completely first.
Step 2: Test the conditioner
Grab the leather conditioner and a cloth. Test the conditioner first on a small patch that you will not see. This ensures that the conditioner does not discolor the leather. Make sure you read the leather conditioner instructions well.
Step 3: Condition the leather
If all is well and after the conditioner has dried, apply a leather conditioner to keep the material soft and supple. This will help prevent future cracking or damage. Buff the area with a clean cloth to give it a polished, smooth finish and to give it a nice shine.
