Faux leather, or pleather, is an alternative to leather that is both cheaper and typically easier to clean and care for. Many people fall in love with this synthetic, vegan material that provides the same high-class look of real leather, but it takes a gentle touch to remove stains and keep faux leather fresh.
As a material, this faux leather offers numerous advantages. In terms of performance, PVC leather fabric is waterproof, can be dry-cleaned; it is soft and supple and much lighter than real leather. This leather fabric does not crack or fade under sunlight, making it particularly ideal for automobiles, but also for clothing where it is used to create spandex and to add buoyancy to competitive swimsuits.
Maintenance Tips
Never reach for the bleach
Whatever the stain, don’t use bleach. Bleach is the most drying product you can put on faux leather and it will affect the structure of the fabric and it will become more susceptible to future marking. A small mark is probably easier to deal with and less noticeable than a bit patch that has been affected by bleach treatment. Even if it does remove the stain, that area is then more prone to cracking, plus the surface could be compromised such that future marks actually sink in more.
Soft nonabrasive cloths
Never be tempted to rub / scrub the surface or use any kind of abrasive cloth or sponge. Soft cloths and repeated circular motions are all you need. Scrubbing will crack the faux leather, not remove the mark.
Clean after cleaning
Whatever you use to clean a mark, whether it works or not, always give it a wipe afterward with mild detergent. The cleaners will do the job but they are not meant to be left on the surface for long periods of time.
