If you have a La-Z-Boy leather couch, you might be reluctant to wash it for fear of ruining the leather. Luckily, you can remove caked-on dirt and grease without compromising the integrity of the material.
-
Run a vacuum cleaner over the entire surface of the couch, removing any dust and pet or human hairs. Dust it vigorously with a feather duster.
-
Create a solution of 1 part mild detergent and 1 part distilled water. Mix them with your hands, creating a soft foam. Dip a soft, lint-free cloth in the foam and lightly run it across the exterior of the couch. Do not rub the leather.
-
Dampen slightly a soft, lint-free cloth with distilled water. Wipe the surface of the couch with this cloth, lightly running it over the surface. Do not rub the leather.
-
Blot the leather dry with a soft, lint-free cloth, soaking up all the moisture from the couch.
