Oil Leather Sofa Care

Oil leather that gets better the more you use it. The more you use it for a long time, the more scratches and stains you will get, but if you take care of it properly, those scratches and stains will become its own characteristic.

This time, we will introduce how to care for your GINO leather sofa so that you can use it comfortably for a long time.

How to deal with daily dirt on oil leather and how to maintain it. Cannot be used on types of leather with piles such as nubuck or suede.

What you need

I use Unitas leather care kit.

Leather Soft Cleaner
Protective Leather Cream
cross
sponge

This set includes the following care instructions.

① Remove dust

First, remove any dust or dirt from the surface using a brush or vacuum cleaner. The key is to spread out the folds and seams with your fingers. Unlike fabric, the main body is cleaned with foam, so it is safe to spread a towel or cloth on the floor during maintenance.

② Wash with leather soft cleaner

Saturate the cleaner with the included sponge and rub gently to create a firm lather. Scrub in a circular motion. Apply as much force as if you were washing your face to remove dirt.

Wipe off the bubbles with a soft cloth and let it air dry for 30 minutes. If dirt is visible even after drying, repeat the process.

Not only does it remove dirt, but it also deodorizes the unpleasant odors of tobacco and pets that have soaked into the leather.

③ Protect with protective leather cream

Next, protect the leather from dirt with a protection cream.

After making sure the leather is completely dry, apply protection cream to the cloth provided. Make sure that the cream has soaked into the cloth thoroughly and apply it evenly over the entire leather surface to avoid lumps.

Maintenance is completed after drying for 1 hour in summer and 2 hours in winter. It becomes effective after 48 hours.

It protects the leather from water and oil, making it easier to remove dirt during the next maintenance. In particular, it will become stronger against water, which is the biggest weakness of leather, and its water resistance will increase.

Because we want you to use it for a long time

As leather is used every day, its texture changes as it absorbs the oils from your hands and becomes shiny when exposed to sunlight. Although it gets dirty and scratched, it is still a memory and a taste of the time we spent together. We would be happy if you could use such precious leather for a longer time.

Usually, wiping with a soft, dry cloth is sufficient. If it gets wet, pat it with a dry cloth to absorb the moisture, then dry it in the shade in a well-ventilated place.

We recommend maintenance with a leather care kit once every six months so that you can use it beautifully and cleanly for a long time. The time you spend cleaning will also be a fulfilling time for you.

We also plan to publish information on how to care for nubuck and suede. Look forward to it!
