Can I wash a cream leather reclining chair with soap and water?

Answer 1

soap will dry out leather and eventually cause it to crack if you do it very often, so it should be a very mild, diluted soap and water, followed by a conditoner as mentioned by another writer. You can also used Endust as recommended on their label, that's what I use. I think it's just water with a de-ionizer that breaks up the surface tension on dirt. There are also little containers of "shoe wipes" that you can buy at shoe stores, and they won't hurt leather or pull dye out of it. Some cleaners will pull out dark dyes, although that wouldn't be a problem with your light chair.

Answer 2

I wouldn't let it get too wet when you do so, use a very gentle soap (baby shampoo would be good) and a well wrung out cloth, or the baby wipes suggestion sounds good. Mostly, make sure you use a good leather cream once the chair is clean and dry (lots of it rubbed well in), to protect the leather from cracking.

Answer 3

Course you can, just make sure you dry it well afterwards.
Reading other suggestions - saddle soap would be good and the reason people are suggesting 'baby wipes' rather than any other kind of wet wipe is that baby wipes are alcohol free, using a wipe containing alcohol would probably have a detrimental effect on the leather.

Answer 4

Yes you can. Then when you have done that, dry it off. Then use a polish that is suitable for leather suites. Be careful of the suggestions of using baby wipes. A friend of mine used one on her cream suite and ruined it. Just try a tiny little patch first at the back somewhere

Answer 5

I use saddle soap, as long as you rinse off al the soap and dry with a clean cloth
then use a leather cream to finish.

Answer 6

I would use a damp (not dripping wet) soapy cloth. I just bought some spray on leather cleaner that works well and doesn't cost a lot. You can also rub in "saddle soap." Check out your local store if you are interested

My grievance with Lazy Boy is the launch is loud, yet then it really is likewise very, very solid.

Answer 8

Yes, just dry it well too, as you go. When I do that, I use a very very soft brush and circular motions, to get into the grain. Rinse with clear water, and dry the spot. Move on. Stand back and see if you are missing spots.

Answer 9
