How do I protect leather glider rocker upholstery from fading?

A leather glider rocker is a stylish, comfortable addition to your home, but your leather upholstery may fade or become damaged over time. The best way to protect the leather on your glider rocker is to keep it out of direct sunlight.

Depending on the type of leather, sunlight may cause your glider rocker’s upholstery to fade in as little as six months. Fully-finished leather fades more slowly than aniline and semi-aniline leathers, which are susceptible to fading quickly. When placed in direct sunlight, all types of leather begin to fade, crack, and peel.

If you must put your leather rocker near a window, make sure to draw the blinds or curtains whenever possible. To protect the leather, you can also clean the upholstery with a leather-specific cleaner. Never clean your leather furniture with harsh chemicals and use oil sparingly every 6-12 months. By keeping your leather glider rocker out of the sun and using the right cleaning products, the upholstery can look new for years to come.

Why choose leather for a glider rocker?

Leather has always been a top choice for furniture upholstery. It’s very durable yet soft to touch and exhibits high resistance to spills, tear, dirt, sagging, as well as punctures. Plus, this fabric gets more soft and supple as it ages and wears, unlike other types of upholstery on glider rockers.

Needless to say, a leather glider rocker can last for years, even decades, with good care. It has a timeless and rich appeal that complements a variety of home styles, including traditional, contemporary, and modern to name a few. Its natural beauty also never goes out of style!

If you’re looking for a glider rocker that’s easy to maintain, ideal for pets, and super comfy to sit back on, a leather glider rocker won’t disappoint. Although leather glider rockers are a bit pricey, you will get back your money’s worth because of how effective and enduring they are.
