I guess the only leather "furniture" I've had has been my car's front seat, and that's always 7 years old or more. I know I stained the backseat once, maybe with rain, and I'm sure it coudl not be cleaned.

Rain? That's not where I thought you were going with that story.

Leather recliners (x2) and couch - leather interior in 4 of last 6 cars including one I switched from cloth to leather. The leather in the Mystique was rather thick and hard compared to the rest but I've never had an issue with cleaning - or wear.

Good to know. I could have been wrong in most cases.

I know some cows not too far from here and I will ask them what soft of soap they use.
