2. Gasoline and a match
3. Cleaning Leather Furniture Leather furniture adds a rich, luxurious feel to any room. Many people are choose to have their couches and chairs in different fabrics because they don't know how to go about cleaning leather furniture. It's acutually quite simple. In fact, most leather furniture can just be wiped clean with a damp sponge. Every now and then a common household cleaner can be sprayed on giving it an extra shine. When you consider what you have to go through when removing spots and stains from upholstered couches, leather furniture cleaning is clearly a more convenient option.
4. use baby wipes , cleans and leaves it smelling nice & no damage
5. Murphy's Oil Soap and water. Second choice: ordinary saddle soap.
6. use either saddle soap or simple green
7. I agree with the saddle soap or simple green.
8. You need to use a good quality water based foam leather cleaner. DO NOT use anything containing oils, waxes or silicones. (Most 'conditioners' contain waxes or oils) and furniture polish contains silicones BABY WIPES are the worst thing you can use as they will destroy the finish on your leather. They are very strong alkiline cleaners to neutralise urine (acid) on babys skin so they are not the right thing to use on leather. Saddle soap is too harsh to use on todays furniture. A lot of leather wipes contain chemicals which will also destroy the finish or leave residues on the leather which will damage it. They are not cheap in the long run as you would need a lot to clean a whole leather sofa. A bottle of foam cleaner should do your furniture 1-2 times. You should also follow this with a good water based leather protector which will act like a 'scotchgard' and inhibit dirt and stains from being absorbed and make cleaning easier the next time. Dry leather needs rehydrating with water and oils and waxes should not be used as the natural oils do not dry out of leather. Wiping over with a damp cloth regularly will help to do this. It is important to maintain a regular cleaning regime cleaning dirt off the surface regularly and inhibiting the absorption of body oils into the leather with a protector is the best way of doing this. The alternative is a brand new product on the market called Lazy Leather. This is the latest technology in cleaning and combines an effective cleaner with a protector. It is quick and easy to use and should be used as a maintenance product once your suite has been cleaned or from new if you have just bought it.
