Currently, leatherette is a fabric widely used to upholster different items or furniture, it is also very resistant and is considered a substitute for leather.

If you have a headboard or sofa in the bedroom, and they are upholstered in leatherette, we are going to tell you some tips to keep them in perfect condition. There are different products that we should not use, among them are glass cleaner, bleach, alcohol, aerosols, since the leatherette is a synthetic fabric. When we clean our headboard with leatherette fabric, we must avoid doing it with abrasive sponges and do not rub hard on it. In addition, it is important to know that if in our bedroom the leatherette sofa or headboard is near a radiator, it can crack due to the heat.
