Keeping Your Leather Furniture Pet Friendly

There’s no need to sacrifice the aesthetics of your home because you own a pet. It’s no secret that dogs and cats shed regularly and cause a number of problems in the home. Rather than sending your beloved friend outside to play, homeowners are now decorating with their pets in mind.

When it comes to pet hair and stains, leather is much easier to clean off than other fabrics. In order to properly clean your leather furniture, you’ll want to vacuum the sofa with a brush attachment and dust the leather using a damp cloth. Always keep leather away from fireplaces as the heat can cause the leather to crack.  If you notice tougher stains on your furniture, use a mild soap and water.

Leather is an extremely durable material that can withstand scratches from dogs and cats. Over time, you may see visible scratches but this doesn’t necessarily mean your leather is shredded. It’s important to keep your pet’s nails nice and short! There is always the option of choosing protected leather for your furniture which offers an extra finish.
