How do you clean leather sofa and chair?



Hi Debbie,

You really need a specialist leather and conditioner to do the best job. Leather has a habiot of drying out and losing it's oils when cleaned and the conditioner puts it back.

To clean it generally you could just use mild soapy water but it's a risk.

Take a look at

which has a combination set and you can see what type of cleaner I mean.

One word of advice on cleaning any leather is to test an unseen area before starting to check for colour run and surface stability.

Hope this helps

I use old-fashioned "saddle soap". It helps to condition and moisturize the leather as it cleans.

Debbie,

MARC has a product called Citra Clean and Shine that is excellent on leather, vinyl, wood and many other surfaces. I sell it like hot cakes to hotels because it takes the place of several different cleaning products.

It cleans and supplies the needed oils that is required for vinyl and leather needs to be supple and clean.

Ed MARC's home office number is: 1.800.228.8508

Ask for the rep. nearest to you and ask him or her where there is a store that sells CITRA CLEAN AND SHINE (product number 144).

Hi Deb, Small areas are easily cleaned using a pencil eraser ! Can't help you with the whole couch....sorry.
