About Leather

Leather represents a large percentage of furniture sold today.  Consumers have quickly realised the benefits of leather.  It is more durable than fabric so it lasts longer.  Leather adjusts to body temperature making it very comfortable to sit on.  Leather production these days is very sophisticated which enables manufacturers to create many looks to suit a wide variety of homes and styles.  Leather is now more affordable and there are suites to suit all pockets.  Leather can be cleaned and cared for, and when done properly, maintains a high level of appearance throughout its life.

Most consumers are forced to find out their own information on cleaning and care products as retailers generally give little or no maintenance instructions with their furniture.  What information is given is often incorrect and misleading. ‘Low maintenance’ is often interpreted as ‘no maintenance’ This can cause great problems for the consumer as the products available on the market are often not well tested or backed up with clear product advice.
