Easy maintenance of leather furniture

Use glycerine soap or Marseille soap. Place the soap in a bowl and cover the bottom of the bowl with hot water. Rub humidified soap with a sponge or white cloth to absorb a small amount of soapy water.

Clean the leather with circular movements and dry quickly with a soft dry cloth.

Darker spots on the headrest and armrests may be sprinkled with talcum, cornstarch or baby powder before cleaning. These products will absorb the fat finish left by the body oil. Leave it to work for a few hours before brushing the leather and, if necessary, continue cleaning with soapy water.

Persistent stains to be removed

A cotton ball impregnated with makeup remover milk buffered on a stain could magically disappear it.

The brands of tea and coffee and ink disappear with a cloth soaked in make-up remover milk with a drop or two of friction alcohol.

If a garment has disdyed on the leather couch, soften the stains with a soft cloth and make-up remover milk or a whipped egg white with half a lemon juice. Apply to the stained leather, dry and then polish with a moisturizing cream to feed the leather well.
