It is said that the best massage chair on the market is made of leather. Leather is a very durable and flexible material that could outlast other upholstery materials. While beautiful and elegant, the main challenge in maintaining the aesthetics of a leather massager is cleaning it without damaging its surface. Maintaining a leather massager can be quite a challenging task, but if done correctly, you can be sure that it will definitely last for years to come.
Before you clean your leather massage chair, make sure you know what type of leather you’re working with. This information is written on the label attached to your massager, or if you cannot find such information, you can contact the manufacturer for leather details. You should also be aware that almost every manufacturer of these massage tools includes advice on how you should clean your massager. Therefore, it would be best to follow these tips before using other cleaning procedures for your leather massage tool.
Basic cleaning of a leather massage chair can be done with a mild moisturizing soap and a soft cloth. When doing this procedure, try not to over-saturate your massager with moisture and never rinse it with water; always keep in mind that your massage tool is made of mechanical materials that could corrode and electrical elements that could present hazards such as electrocution and fire. What you should do is clean your leather massager with a damp cloth to remove excess soap. It’s also important to dust your massager at least two to three times a week with a dusting broom, or if you have a vacuum, attach a soft brush and use it to dust your massager.
Of course, your leather massage chair could inadvertently get stained, especially if there are children in the house. When removing stains, try testing a small amount of cleaning agent on an inconspicuous area of your massage chair, and if color changes occur, do not use that cleaner to remove specific stains from your massager. For ink stains, moisten a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol and lightly rub it on the affected area, then use a hair dryer at the very least and dry your massager. For blood, food remains and other dark stains, make a paste with a part of tartar and lemon juice and rub on the area; leave it for about ten minutes and remove the cleaning agent with a damp cloth and moisturizing soap, then rub with a dry cloth.
Your leather massage chair could also get stains from grease and newspaper. What you have to do is clean the grease stain with a dry cloth and never use water to remove said stain, and for the newspaper mark spray the area with spray and immediately clean with a soft cloth. Try to avoid using abrasive cleaners on your leather massager, including ammonia-based cleaners, bleach, varnish, saddle soap, and alkaline cleaners, as these agents could ruin the aesthetics of your massager. As much as possible, keep your massager away from direct sunlight, heat and air conditioning sources to prevent discoloration, cracking and drying out.
Always keep in mind that even the best massage chair requires regular cleaning to maintain its functionality and aesthetic appeal. Once you can use the proper cleaning agents and procedures on your leather massager, you will definitely extend its life. However, if you’re still not sure which cleaning process to use or your tool needs a serious cleaning, don’t hesitate to seek the help of a professional to clean your massager for you.
