Take proper care of your leather upholstery to make it last longer.

Leather furniture is a versatile upholstery item that has a plush feel to it. Sofas and chairs made from leather provide comfortable seating and last much longer than fabric upholstery. Leather seats, whether in your car or in your home, can wrinkle and crease as a result of normal wear and tear. Reduce wrinkles by ironing them out and restoring your leather seats to their original condition. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

    • 1

      Switch on the iron. Set it on the coolest setting and let it run for approximately 10 minutes.

    • 2

      Place a thick sheet of paper on the wrinkled area of the leather seat. The paper will serve as a pressing cloth to prevent the leather from overheating.

    • 3

      Switch off the iron and move it over the wrinkled area for three minutes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. To prevent burning the leather, be sure to keep moving the iron over the wrinkled surface, instead of keeping it in one place.

Tips & Warnings

  • Regularly apply a leather conditioner on your leather seats to reduce the occurrence of wrinkles.

  • If the seating area is small, you can use a blow dryer to even out wrinkles. Switch on the blow dryer to its lowest setting. Place it a few inches away from the seat and move it all around the wrinkled area for three minutes.
