Cleaning Leather Suite (1 Viewer)

[normanandsue]

To all you houseproud funsters please can you help me? I have a cream leather suite that hasn't been cleaned for 2 years and is in urgent need of a clean. Has anyone any "useful" ideas of the best way to clean said suite, if possible without having to buy all the expensive "brand" cleaning products. :Sad:

My daughter used to work for M&S in their furniture dept and they used to recommend ordinary water with some fairy in it wet cloth, wring, wipe, rince and repeat f needed, just remember not to overwet the leather otherwise it could stretch and shrink as it drys. There are also those leatherwipe car seat cleaning wipes that you could try.

Saddle soap, will clean and condition the leather at the same time.

The leather wipes from the £1 shop seem to work on a dark leather suite so might be worth a try on a light leather one.

I use the leather wipes

I use a dishcloth and washing up water, as per M&S apparently.

Then I use the stuff I can't remember the name of that you use on your m/cycle leathers, the soap eventually washes it off unfortunmately but as everybody wears jeans you are kind of stuck with it if you own a beige leather suite. I'll buy battleship grey next time!

A friend of ours who does leather upholstery for posh motors, uses the Dove range of products ,ie. face cleaner to clean and Dove soap to nourish !!

First of all you need two buckets of clean water, some soap flakes, make a soapy mix, use a sponge to apply the soap, only work one area at a time, clean off the soap with the clean water from the second bucket using a soft towel,then dry with a second dry towel. Some products can dry the leather out.
