And it’s always a good idea to never dry your leather with artificial heat, or allow the leather to dry in sunlight. This can cause the leather to become dry and result in cracking.

Once the leather is clean, use a commercially-available leather conditioner to finish the job properly. Do this and your leather furniture will continue to look good for years to come. Bear in mind that different environmental conditions will require more or less cleaning.
