Common Cleaning Techniques
The simplest way to clean your Barcalounger leather recliners is dusting. Even if you’re the
most cautious homeowner, you cannot stop dust from accumulating on the surfaces of this
leather furniture. To remove the dust, make sure to use the soft-bristled attachment of your
vacuum cleaner. Use only the lowest setting on your vacuum cleaner. The combined strength of
the suction power of your vacuum and the sharp edges of the attachment can scratch the
leather and tear the material.
A good alternative is the use of dry dusters such as Swiffer pads or feather dusters. Another
better way to remove the dusts on the surface is with a damp cloth. If you’re going to use this
method, dampen the soft (cotton) cloth with warm water and slowly wipe the surfaces until the
dust is removed.

texture of your leather Barcalounger recliners. You can mix 1 part of white vinegar with 2 parts
of linseed oil. This solution will now serve as your leather cleaner and conditioner or you can
just mix warm water with a detergent. Using a white lint-free cloth apply the solution and let it
sit for at least 10 hours or overnight and polish it the following day to bring back the shine of
the leather surface.

towels.

plain toothpaste or spraying a hairspray straight onto the affected area. Using a clean damp
cloth wipe, the residue on the surface. Don’t get disappointed if you can’t remove it on your
