How to Polish a Leather Sofa

You should not polish a leather sofa. Polishing damages the surface of the leather, especially on full grain leather, which is the highest quality and used in our furniture. Instead of polish, the correct way to care for your leather sofa is with regular cleaning and conditioning. Conditioning keeps the leather soft, prevents cracks, and enhances its natural look without harming the material.

Proper Care Steps for Full Grain Leather Sofas

  1. Wipe the sofa with a dry microfiber cloth to remove dust and debris

  2. Clean stains with mild soap mixed in warm water, then dry with a clean cloth

  3. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner using a microfiber cloth

  4. Rub the conditioner into the leather with gentle circular motions

  5. Let the conditioner absorb for 10 to 15 minutes, then buff lightly with a dry cloth

Leather Sofa Maintenance Tips

  • Condition your leather sofa every 6 to 12 months depending on use

  • Keep leather furniture away from heaters and direct sunlight to prevent drying

  • Never use oils, waxes, or home remedies that damage the grain leather surface

  • Always test any cleaning product on a hidden spot before applying everywhere
