All new leather sofas come with a varnish or a colorless finishing wax. This surface treatment mainly protects the leather grain and the coloration from abrasions. It also gives the leather a more or less shiny appearance.
Over time, repeated friction and the use of household products, whether more or less aggressive or suitable for leather, will inevitably wear down this original varnish. The exposed leather will deteriorate very quickly. First, the coloration will fade, and then the leather grain will become porous until it tears.
Applying wax or a protective varnish regularly is therefore essential to maintain the suppleness and the shine of the leather on your sofa. More than just a treatment, it helps prevent premature wear and provides better resistance to scratches and friction for your leather. A protection to be applied regularly on your sofa to significantly increase its lifespan and enjoy its unparalleled aesthetics for many years.
Fortunately, applying a surface treatment is not reserved only for tanneries. So, how to protect a leather sofa? Whether it’s our Silky Varnish or our Protective Wax, our products have the same characteristics and raw materials as those used by tanners. Quality criteria that make Sofolk products indispensable as recommended by our customers.
Sofolk’s Silky Varnish preserves the color of your leather while reinforcing it to protect against various daily aggressions and dirt. Available in matte, glossy, or satin finish, this varnish adapts to all leather sofas to enhance them sustainably. You can also add UV protection when ordering if your sofa is heavily exposed to sunlight.
Sofolk’s Protective Wax, on the other hand, offers a candle-touch that enhances your old leathers for a perfect finish and durable protection. It protects your leather from snags and stains as liquids slide off the leather after this treatment. With a satin finish, its formula allows the natural smell of the leather to pass through for daily enjoyment of your luxurious sofa.
These two products, available in bottle or spray, will effectively protect your leather while giving it a most pleasant silky touch. Their application is very easy and quick and should be renewed at least once a year to keep your leather in good condition.
