Simple Steps to Clean and Maintain Your Moroccan Leather Poufs
Any of you thinking of buying Moroccan leather poufs will probably find these tips on cleaning and maintaining them helpful. After all, you will ensure that your Moroccan poufs look good and last a long time in your home.
air them out
When they first arrive, the smell of leather can be a bit overpowering, as these Moroccan poufs are usually made from camel or goat skin. You don’t have to panic and please don’t spray them with any air freshener. What you can do is air them out for a few days. Avoid placing them in a dark or damp room. The smell should disappear a few days after airing it out.
How to wash them?
Since they are mainly used to place your feet as a footstool or even a seat, you may need to wash them from time to time. If the Moroccan poufs in your home are light colored, it will be very obvious when they get dirty or stained. What you could do is dust them first with a duster if they appear to be dusty. But then again, some of the dust particles could get trapped between the folds of the leather, or after quite a long use, the leather will look dirty. You will need to use a leather cleaner to gently clean the leather. Be sure to read the instructions that come with the leather cleaner first. However, if your bean bags are made of fabric, then you could use a carpet cleaner. Again, read the instructions first. Make sure any cleaners you use don’t contain bleach as you don’t want to bleach your beautiful Moroccan leather poufs!
vacuum bottom
Since dust tends to collect on the underside of your furniture, you might want to vacuum the underside of Moroccan poufs. Also a reminder that after washing your leather with a leather cleaner, make sure you clean the leather properly and pat it dry with a dry towel. You do not want to leave the leather wet with water. Once they are dry, apply a leather wax to them, as this will help keep the leather longer and give it a shiny, clean look.
Resume
These are just some of the simple steps anyone could take into account when planning to clean their Moroccan leather poufs. With proper care, cleaning, and maintenance, they will definitely last a long time.
