Leather Care & Cleaning

Simple tips to help your leather last a lifetime.
Dust Periodically
Dust with a microfiber cloth to remove residual dust. For suede, nubuck, or shearling, dry vacuum or use a soft nylon brush.
Avoid Heat & Direct Sunlight
Direct sunlight and excessive heat can cause leather to fade and become damaged over time.
Contain Stains
For spills, contain as quickly as possible. Blot, don’t rub. For stubborn stains, clean using Moore & Giles leather cleaner.
Leather is a natural material that requires minimal care, making it a practical and timeless choice.
The Moore & Giles furniture collection is designed to require minimal care. Genuine leather is a long-lasting material that can withstand frequent use and is ideal for households with kids and pets. Your leather furniture will gradually develop a patina over time that reflects your unique life.
For heavy spills or stains, blot immediately with a dry cloth to absorb as much moisture as possible and avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain. Treat with our natural Leather Cleaner. For lighter spills, use a gentle solution of three parts water and one part mild soap to spot clean. Treated areas may slightly darken. The leather's natural burnishing will gradually envelop any discoloration. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Do not use liquid cleaners on nubuck or suede.
Small Ink or marker stains may be removed using an eraser or dry cleaning pad. In most cases, this lightens the mark, but may not remove it completely. Once lightened, treat with our Natural Leather Cleaner. For larger ink or maker stains, use 400-grit sandpaper to gently remove the stain. Note this may permanently lighten the sanded area.
Our microfiber Cleaning Cloth is specially designed with a gentle blend of proprietary waxes and oils. A few quick strokes will buff away everyday scratches and abrasions. In case of deeper undesired scratches on your leather piece, use a blow dryer to warm the leather and blend the scratch mark. As the natural waxes and oils in the leather shift and move when exposed to heat, it will help conceal any marks effectively.
Dry vacuum or use a soft nylon brush. For small stains, use a damp white absorbent cloth and mild detergent.
Dry vacuum or use a soft nylon brush. For small stains, use a damp white absorbent cloth and mild detergent. To remove butter, oil, or grease stains, blot with a dry white cloth. If the spot remains, sprinkle with cornstarch, cover with a damp towel, wait an hour, remove towel, dry with a blow dryer, vacuum, and brush with a nylon brush. Repeat if needed. Do not use liquid cleaners on nubuck or suede.
