· For small spills, oftentimes a moist cloth will do the trick. Sponges are a good alternative. Point a fan at the cleaned area to dry it.

· Guardian Protection Products Inc. cautions owners against using oils, varnish, furniture polish, and ammonia-based liquid since these substances may corrode and damage leather.

· For more stains caused by butter, grease, or oil, all one needs to do is wipe them off with a dry cloth. The spot will disappear after a while. If it doesn’t, owners are suggested to contact a professional.

Give cats surfaces to scratch.

Scratching surfaces for cats can be bought in most furniture stores. These are great investments for cat owners. Most furniture shop attendants are well-informed and can help a consumer pick the right surface.

Train cats to stop scratching

Yes, cats can be trained. If they start to scratch a surface of a piece of furniture, homeowners can give the cat a small sprinkle of water (which they hate). After a couple of sprays, the cat will associate the action and the surface with the sprinkle of water.

Guardian Protection Products Inc. knows that it takes time and effort on the part of the homeowner, but cats and furniture can co-exist.

Other than mattress protection, Guardian Protection Products, Inc. also protects other furniture at home through its protection plans that cover fabric, leather, wood, and other materials. Learn more about the company here.

How to care for leather finishes

Leather finishes are simply exquisite to look at. They provide a unique and premium texture to furniture and are relatively easier to clean compared to cloth or fabric covers. However, caring for leather isn’t the simplest task in the world. Stains can last forever if you don’t know how to clean them. You also run the risk of ruining your leather by using the wrong cleaning method. Here are some tips on caring for leather finishes.

Basic cleaning
The most basic way of cleaning a leather surface is to wipe it clean using a soft cloth or microfiber cloth. Another way is to take a damp cloth and moisturizing soap and lather the leather surface. Remember never to rinse leather material. If you want it to shine, use a buffer.


Removing spots
Stains and other marks like ink require a different approach. To remove spots like these, dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol and rub the mark. Wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth after the alcohol rub.

Keep the leather surface supple
The texture of leather tends to lose its luster overtime. To bring back its supple feel, create a solution that’s 1 part vinegar and 2 parts linseed oil. Place both solutions in a container and shake thoroughly. Apply the solution to the leather and let it sit for 12 hours. After wiping the solution, buff the surface thoroughly.
