How to properly care for the leather upholstery of a chair or sofa is something women often know best — sometimes without even realizing it. The secret lies in the fact that our skin and bovine hide, even after tanning, have a lot in common. The basic principles that help women maintain freshness also work perfectly for leather furniture.

One of the best preventive measures is regular moisturizing. This involves restoring the skin’s natural oil layer using special care products. Many people hire professionals for this, but it can also be done at home. Once a year, it’s recommended to wipe the furniture with stearin-based products, or alternatively use olive, lanolin, or castor oil, or glycerin. For wiping, it’s best to choose flannel fabric, as it has the ideal softness and won’t damage the upholstery surface.

Ukrainian Manufacturer

A few years ago, the phrase “European quality” sounded like the ultimate benchmark. People believed that if furniture came from Italy, Poland, or Germany — it meant reliability, beauty, and durability. And Ukrainian furniture? “Well, maybe it’s cheaper, but…” — we heard that many times.
Today, that “but” is gone. Ukrainian manufacturers have long proven they can compete not only in price but also in design, precision, materials, and service. TM Valaga is one such company, producing custom-made leather furniture — from complete sets in modern or classic styles to sofas, beds, and corner units.
