Lazyboy Recliners Fabric and Leather Care

Lazy Boy recliners are products of the highest quality, but even the most durable of the materials will eventually fail the test of repeated use, especially if it’s not being treated with care. That’s why, if you want your Lazy Boy recliner to remain intact, you’ll have to clean the fabric that covers it regularly. If you already own a Lazy Boy recliner, you might find it useful to read about the best way of taking care of such products.

1. How to clean upholstery
In general, frequent vacuuming and brushing should prevent the soiling of the fabric. When the furniture gets stained, there are a couple of things you should keep in mind in order to clean it properly.

Code W means that it’s safe to clean the recliner with water. Use only water-based shampoos and foam cleaners specially designed for upholstery. To prevent circling, clean the stain by rubbing it from the outside.

Code S means that you’ll have to clean your furniture with dry cleaning solvents, and avoid using water during the process.

Code S/W means that you can use a combination of water and dry cleaning solvents.

Code X refers to the items that can be cleaned only by vacuuming. Liquid cleaners and foams will only damage this type of fabric.

For water-based stains, like wine, soft drinks, mustard and ketchup stains, it would be best to use a combination of neutral soap and water. Remove the stain by gently rubbing it with the prepared cleaning liquid from the outside, and rinse it thoroughly with water after you’ve finished. You can also blot the cleaned area with a towel, and vacuum it to restore the usual look and feel of the fabric.

Oil-based stains include ink, cosmetics and shoe polish stains. Although most of them can be treated in the same way as the water-based stains, heavier ones may require a solvent compound. In that case, practically any upholstery cleaner can be used so long as it doesn’t contain bleach.

2. How to clean leather
Leather is a natural premium material most consumers prefer for their Lazyboy recliners. And to maintain the look and feel of leather, adequate maintenance with proper cleansing is required. Otherwise, you can have faded, cracked, and saggy leather, which doesn’t look good! Leather is generally much easier to handle than the other upholstery materials. However, there are various types of leather materials, each of which requires a different treatment. That’s why it would be best to adjust the way you clean your recliner to the type of leather that’s been used to cover it.

In general, as with fabric, vacuuming and brushing the recliner should help keep it clean. To prevent the leather from fading, make sure that you’ve put it someplace far from the direct sunlight. If you don’t want it to dry and start cracking, keep it away from radiators and other heat generators. When the recliner gets stained, blot the stain instead of rubbing it, and never use chemicals, saddle soaps, or anything else that could in any way damage the finish. It’s also recommended to avoid leaving newspaper lying on leather furniture, since the ink can rub onto it and leave a stain that would be hard to remove. For weekly dusting, use a clean, soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with distilled water and wipe gently. Or use a leather cleaner if available. Use a crevice tool to deep clean the edges and corners.

Here is how you can maintain the leather of your new lazy boy recliner:
1. Clean spills immediately. Like any upholstery, spills can stain leather if not cleaned up quickly. Always blot the spills, and never rub them.
2. Use a solution of mild soap and distilled water. Dilute the cleaner as per the instructions mentioned on the packaging.
3. Slightly dampen the cloth or sponge with the mixture and Work up in a circular motion with gentle pressure to foam up the soap.
4. Avoid excessive rubbing and usage of cleaning brushes.
5. Use a clean cloth dampened only with distilled water to remove any remaining soap residue. Blot dry the leather and repeat if necessary.
6. In case of more rigid stains, you can opt for a professional leather cleaning service.

How to Clean Your Lazyboy Recliner

Now that you finally have your very own Lazyboy recliner at home, it is very important that you know how to properly clean and take care of it. Cleaning your recliner is very important if you want to maintain its look and if you want it to last a very long time. Whether you bought a recliner that is made of leather, suede, cloth or any material, it is important that you learn how to clean it yourself to save some.

The good thing is that Lazyboy recliners are quite easy to take care and maintain. If you get yourself some Lazyboy recliner slipcovers, it becomes even easier – just remove the slipcover and stash it into the washing machine (which is why slipcovers are a must). But how do you properly clean and maintain your Lazyboy recliner? Here are some tips that can help you:

1. Cleaning the cover made of cloth or suede
You can get rid of loose dirt or dust on your recliner using a brush or a vacuum cleaner (with a brush attachment). You can use some mild detergent, but be careful not to use one that has bleach or whiteners. You can mix one fourth of a cup of detergent and warm water then stir with a hand blender to create soap suds. It is the suds that you will use to clean your recliner, using a sponge to lightly scrub off dirt. Make sure to tap dry and to let it dry overnight

2. Cleaning leather upholstery
When cleaning leather, use a cleaning solution made from mild facial soap with warm water. With a soft rag, gently rub the cover, paying extra attention to the arm and head rest, where most dirt accumulates. Rinse lightly with water and pat dry with a towel. Make sure to use distilled water to prevent discolorations.

3. Vacuum the crevices
Dust would often accumulate in the crevices of your Lazyboy recliner. Make sure that you dust it away with a vacuum from time to time.

4. When there are spills
Spills are inevitable especially if you allow kids in your recliner, or if you drink and eat while sitting on it. When spills happen, immediately wipe it clean using a dabbing motion – NEVER rub. Also, do not let the liquids dry up or they may be very hard to clean afterwards. Afterwards, you can use leather cleaner or some soap water solution to remove residue that has been left behind.

5. When there are ink marks
Ink can be very difficult to remove. Do not give in to the temptation of using strong household cleansers to rub it away. There are some special cleaning solutions available that have been made to remove ink on leather or cloth surfaces. You can get a hold of these and apply it as quickly as possible.
