How to clean PU Leather?
To clean anything from PU leather shoes to a chair, you’ll need mild soap, warm water and a soft non-abrasive cloth . Follow these steps:
1. Soak your cloth in a bowl of warm water and add a small amount of mild soap. Wring out the excess water.
2. Gently wipe over the surface of your PU leather item to remove dirt and dust. Pay attention to any stains or marks and rub them lightly with the cloth.
3. Rinse the cloth in fresh water and wipe over the item again to remove any soap residue.
4. Dry the item with a soft microfiber cloth or let it air-dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
To prevent PU leather from peeling or cracking, you should also condition it regularly with a natural oil such as baby oil, olive oil or coconut oil. Apply a small amount of oil to a soft cloth and rub it over the surface of your PU leather item. This will help to keep it moisturized and flexible.
