Faux leather is a synthetic imitation leather. It's a synthetic fabric that has been specially designed to mimic the look and feel of genuine leather while avoiding the use of animal byproducts. Faux leather is used to make a wide range of everyday items, including shoes, bags, clothing, and even vegan sofas — in fact, it can be used to upholster almost any piece of furniture in the same way that real leather is.
Product Description
Faux leather is artificial imitation leather. It’s a synthetic fabric that has been specially designed to replicate the look and feel of genuine leather, but without using any animal by-products. Faux leather is used to produce all sorts of everyday products, like shoes, bags, clothing, and even vegan sofas — in fact, it can be used to upholster almost any item of furniture in exactly the same way as real leather.
Product Advantage
It’s increasingly realistic: Advances in the way that synthetic leathers are produced mean that modern faux leather is increasingly realistic. Many manufacturers can now create faux leathers with convincing variations in grain, color and texture that look and feel almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
It offers a huge choice of colors: Synthetic leathers hold dye better than real versions, which means that you can buy faux leather in a wider variety of colors and styles. This means it’s a great choice if you have something very specific in mind for your interiors.
It’s incredibly durable: Unlike some low-quality genuine leathers, it does not crack, fade, or scratch easily. Its resistance to scratches makes it a good choice of upholstery for pet-owners.
It’s low maintenance: Faux leather is easy to clean and care for, and you don’t need to use a specialist leather cleaner to keep it in good condition. For this reason, you’ll often find faux leather in public areas or medical environments.
Cleaning Tips
1. Blot any stains
First, blot any stains with a cloth or paper towel to remove any remaining liquid or dirt. Be gentle and don’t scrub, as this could damage the fabric.
2. Wipe it with soapy water
Fill a bowl with hot water and add a squirt of mild dish soap. Then, dampen a dish cloth and use gentle circular motions to wipe the area clean. Never be tempted to use a sponge or scourer, as they will corrode the surface.
3. Dry and buff the surface
Once the stain has been removed and the area is totally clean, take a soft, dry microfiber cloth and gently buff the area dry using gentle circular motions. This will help to preserve the soft texture and sheen of your faux leather.
Lastly, try to ensure your faux leather doesn’t dry out, as this can cause the surface to peel and crack. Only clean the surface when needed and be careful not to let it get wet, being careful to dry the area with a soft cloth after cleaning. Try not to use harsh chemical cleaners on your upholstery, as alcohol and other abrasive chemicals will cause it to dry out faster. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can also dry or discolor the fabric, so if possible, make sure your furniture isn’t placed in front of a sunny, unshaded window.
