Of all things that can be considered luxurious, leather sofa sets is a must. There are a lot of reasons why Leather is such a prized material- but one major reason is that the material is derived when the animal hide is treated chemically. This makes it harder to come by and makes Leather the prized commodity it is. 

But a lot of people do not use any kind of animal hide or even like any animal products (not even cheese) and identify as vegans. And if you are one of them, there is good news for you- you can get a faux leather sofa! (which is less expensive than leather sofa price)

Faux leather, or leatherette, is the artificial version of Leather. It is made in a plastic and PVC base making it absolutely free of all things animal (unless you count carbon). 

But since leatherette is so different from leather, caring for it and maintaining it is just as different as well. Here are some things you can do to ensure that your leather couch set has a long life- 

It is important to place the sofa set away from sunlight as the sun may cause the material to lose colour and fade. Moreover, it can also result in breaks and cracks along the surface of the leather sofa set.  

Make sure to keep sharp and pointed objects away from the l shape leather sofa. The pointed end of such an object can cause the surface of the sofa to break apart, and develop into visible scratches spoiling the look of the material.  

If you sit on a leatherette sofa for a long time, and you have on a colourful attire that may leave its imprint- you better be careful. The colour of the fabric sofa may, because of sweat and moisture, wash out over time and leave a stain on the soft leatherette. If you notice a stain on the surface of the sofa, you should wipe it up immediately.  

Even after doing the aforementioned things, you may notice some wear and tear along the surface of the sofa. There are a couple of things that you can do to maintain the colour and integrity of the material. 

Before using any liquid on the material, it is advised that you vacuum the surface and dust the resting dirt out. This will help you clean up better than you otherwise would. Regular cleaning and vacuuming the leather sofa surface will also help decrease the number of times that you will be required to clean.  

Use some mild detergent and water to remove any sticky and stubborn debris and particles that are left behind. This will also allow you to get rid of the first layer of dirt while maintaining the structure of the material as leatherette is not as porous.  

Use a leather conditioner to replenish the number of natural oils that are required to provide the sheen to the leatherette. This is necessary to maintain the royal look and shine of the leather couch.  

You can also use a leather friendly cleaner that can cleanse the top of the leather sofa set without taking all the oils and moisture required. It is extremely important to follow all the instructions as misuse of the product may harm the sofa. It is important to use small amounts of all the different kinds of cleaning products.
