Sanitation 101: How Leather Furniture Promotes Your Well Being

In these unprecedented times, the COVID pandemic has made us all more aware of how cleanly our spaces are than ever before. Not only are we thinking about keeping ourselves clean and safe from the virus, but we’re also thinking about how we clean our homes, our communal spaces—and part of that means thinking about how we clean our furniture. Luckily, at Florida Leather Gallery, we know that having leather furniture means an inherently cleaner home. Why? Because leather furniture is easier to clean than many other types of furniture, especially when it comes to seating arrangements like sofas and armchairs.

Leather furniture, especially leather furniture which is protected, is one of the easiest kinds of furniture to clean, without sacrificing aesthetics. Here’s how having leather furniture in your home promotes your well being.

Disinfecting is a breeze

Because of its smooth surface and high-quality material, leather is one of the best fabrics for disinfecting. It’s much harder to disinfect a couch that is upholstered in twill, for instance, or wool. Leather, thanks to its protective coating, is easy to wipe down and keep clean, and it dries easily. Keeping your couches and chairs disinfected helps you rest easy knowing that COVID is much less likely to spread in your home and that there’s something you can actively do to help keep the sickness at bay, thanks to your leather furniture.

It’s easy to tell when leather is grimy

Unlike with other materials, it is very easy to determine whether leather is clean or not. Many other woven fabrics intentionally hide stains and spills, which can be helpful in normal, non-pandemic times, but which actively works against the health of you and your family during these days. By knowing when your furniture is dirty, you are much more likely to keep yourself fully protected from microbes that can be harmful to you and yours. Leather is the superior choice when it comes to knowing without a doubt that your furniture is in fact, clean and safe.

Clean doesn’t have to feel clinical

As much as preparation and cleanliness have a positive effect on our well-being, the beauty of your own surroundings also helps. Especially in times when we may have to spend more time at home than we anticipated, keeping your home feeling sleek and comfortable, without sacrificing safety, is the perfect formula for feeling better and more relaxed. Leather maintains a beautiful, attractive presence in your home, while also providing the opportunity for cleanliness and safety.
