How to Clean and Care for Aniline Leather Beds
Aniline leather is soft, warm and full of natural character, but because it has little or no protective coating it needs a lighter, more careful approach than most leather finishes. In this guide we explain what makes aniline different, how to tell whether your bed is aniline with a simple water test, and how to dust and clean it without leaving rings or tide marks. We cover the right way to condition the leather to keep it supple in centrally heated homes, how to handle spills, oil marks and light scratches, and when a stain is best left to a professional. We also look at protecting colour from sunlight and radiators in UK bedrooms, and the everyday habits that help aniline leather develop an even, attractive patina over the years, so your bed keeps its depth, softness and warmth rather than looking tired, dry or patchy in the years ahead....
