It is ideal for both everyday touch-ups and deep cleaning, helping keep your leather soft, clean, and looking new with minimal effort.

No-Residue, Quick-Dry Formula

The cleaner gently lifts dirt into light suds, which can be easily wiped away with a clean or damp cloth. 

As it dries quickly, it leaves no sticky film or residue behind. This means your leather couch, sofa, or upholstery is ready to use again within minutes. With consistent use, the formula supports regular leather care without buildup.

To get the most out of your leather couch cleaner, you need the right tools and technique. The steps below will help you safely clean leather furniture with confidence:

Step-by-Step Directions

To achieve the best results, it is important to properly prepare your workspace and use the right tools. Follow these simple steps for a thorough and gentle clean:

1. Pour the leather cleaner into a small bowl.

2. Dip a soft brush into the cleaner.

3. Gently scrub the leather couch in circular motions, focusing on stained or dirty areas.

4. Wipe the area clean with a dry microfiber towel to lift any remaining residue.

5. Allow the leather to dry completely before applying conditioner or using the furniture again.

Spot-Test & Safety Tips

Before cleaning the full surface, always spot-test in an inconspicuous area. This helps confirm the cleaner is safe for your specific leather type.

To avoid damage, never oversaturate the surface. Instead, use a damp cloth or a soft brush to gently lift dirt from textured spots, such as suede or nubuck. 

You should also keep the area away from direct sunlight while drying. For best results, use only one product at a time and follow all directions carefully.

Conditioning vs. Cleaning: When & How

Cleaning and conditioning serve two different purposes in leather care, and both are important. Cleaning removes dirt and buildup, while conditioning restores moisture and protects the leather.

Start by using Easy Cleaner or Angelus Foam-Tex Gentle Foaming Cleaner to remove dirt and grease stains. Once the surface is fully dry, apply leather conditioner to replenish healthy oils and keep your leather soft and supple. 

Following this sequence helps maintain leather furniture and prevents long-term wear.

Since not all leather furniture is made the same, it is important to match your leather couch cleaner to the correct material. The guide below will help you safely clean leather surfaces based on their finish.

Aniline vs. Semi-Aniline vs. Pigmented Leather

Aniline leather is untreated and absorbs moisture easily, making it soft but prone to water stains and dirt. In contrast, semi-aniline leather features a light protective coating that provides added durability while retaining a natural appearance. 

Lastly, pigmented leather, the most common type, has a thicker coating that resists wear and hides surface flaws. 

For pigmented and semi-aniline finishes, Easy Cleaner is ideal for deep cleaning. Use a microfiber cloth and avoid over-wetting the surface. For aniline leather, always spot test first and apply the product gently in small amounts.

Avoiding Damage on Suede & Nubuck

Because suede and nubuck have open, textured surfaces, they require specialized care to avoid permanent damage. These materials absorb liquids quickly, so using the wrong product or too much cleaner can lead to staining. 

Before applying any product, gently remove loose debris with a soft brush. Then, use a damp cloth with light pressure to clean the surface. Always test in an inconspicuous area first. 

To protect the nap and texture, avoid direct sunlight while the leather dries and never oversaturate the material.

Faux Leather & Vinyl Considerations

Faux leather and vinyl are non-porous, which means they do not absorb moisture like natural leather. As a result, residue can accumulate on the surface and cause streaking if not removed properly.

The Easy Cleaner Kit is tested safe for synthetic leather and vinyl and works best when wiped clean immediately. Foam-Tex is also effective but should always be spot-tested before full use. 

After application, use a clean cloth to remove excess cleaner and buff the area dry. For regular upkeep, wipe down surfaces with a dry microfiber cloth to maintain appearance and prevent buildup.

With regular upkeep and a few simple habits, you can protect your leather furniture and extend its life. The tips below offer practical ways to keep your leather looking clean, supple, and damage-free.

Recommended Cleaning Frequency

To start, dust your leather couch regularly using a dry microfiber cloth to clear away loose debris. Plan for a light wipe-down once a month to manage everyday dirt and prevent buildup. 

Additionally, deep cleaning every three to four months helps remove set-in stains and keeps the surface clean and maintained. Adjust your routine based on how often the furniture is used.

Conditioning Schedule for Longevity

In addition to cleaning, conditioning is crucial for maintaining the softness and flexibility of your leather. Apply leather conditioner every six months to restore healthy oils and prevent cracking over time. 

Be sure to let the leather dry completely after cleaning before conditioning. For best results, focus on areas that see frequent contact, such as cushions and armrests.

Preventing Sun & Water Damage

To reduce the risk of damage, position your leather couch away from direct sunlight whenever possible. UV exposure can cause fading and dry out natural oils. 

For added protection, consider using covers during the day. If spills occur, blot them immediately with a clean cloth or cotton ball. Then, dry the surface fully with a towel to prevent water stains.

Angelus Brand delivers effective leather care with straightforward steps, tailored tips, and reliable products for every surface. With the right routine, from deep cleaning to conditioning, you can extend the life of your leather furniture and keep it looking its best.
