Title: Leather Furniture
Post by wayne on May 7^th, 2005, 11:40am

Well off topic I know, but we've just bought a new leather suite. Can anyone recommend a commercially available product for cleaning and retaining that leather smell? My suggestion of Autoglym was rebuked, which hurt.. If it's good enough for the Scorpio....! Also, something that can be used as a 'spot' cleaner should anything (God forbid) be spilt on it? It may be a long shot, but if one of you guys is a upholsterer or such,, you may be able to help.
Cheers, Wayne.

Thanks a lot fellas. Wife's reluctant to use a car product on the suite, I can't see why, at least she won't have to poke the vent holes with a pencil to clear away the cream like I have to in the Scorpio!
We'll give them a try. Cheers.

Soap flakes diluted with water and sprayed on finely is what my missus was recommended, two years later, and dog all over it and it still looks brand new.

Best of luck,
Steve

PS, ours is yellow leather

I'll pass the tip on thanks Steve. At the moment she's converted to Autoglym wipes, they work quite well. Our dog gives the suite a wide birth... strange how they can tell what's dangerous to them isn't it? LOL!!!
Cheers, Wayne.
