Leather furniture will improve with age giving a special lived-in look that is one of the most desirable aspects of the best leather.

Only Moran approved products should be used as general purpose cleaners can easily cause cracking, remove colour and make leather sticky. Look for Moran Leather Care kits in department or specialty stores.

Generally speaking leather is easy to care for. There are just a few things to avoid if possible to add to its longevity.

1. It’s best to avoid exposing furniture to direct sunlight or heat sources as this can accelerate fading or drying out the leather which causes cracking.
2. Dust does wear leather down considerably. Leather requires dusting and vacuuming regularly – around fortnightly.
3.Try and avoid pets scratching or soiling leather furniture. Their fur contains natural oils that can discolour leather. Studded belts or jeans can also easily mark leather.
4. Natural body oils and perspiration, exacerbated by medications and chemotherapy discolour leather, particularly around areas such as the headrest and arms.
