Flexsteel leather sofas require careful cleaning to maintain the suppleness of the leather and are prone to permanent damage if cleaning solutions are used to eliminate dirt and stains from the leather surface. The leather is made of top-grain hides that make the furniture expensive to repair in the event of a permanent stain or scratch. With proper care and immediate spill cleanups your Flexsteel sofa will age gradually with use to create a one-of-a-kind piece of furniture.

Step 1

Dust the leather sofa weekly with a feather duster to eliminate dust buildup or remove dust with the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Accumulated dust dulls the natural shine of the genuine leather.

Step 2

Blot up accidental spills with a soft cloth immediately. Blotting rather than wiping ensures the stain is not rubbed into the leather and restricts the stain to one area instead of spreading it over the leather.

Step 3

Fluff the sofa's cushions weekly or twice a week if heavily used to reduce permanent wrinkles, which naturally form in leather over time.
