Best thing to do is go to Argos and buy a leather cleaner they sell £20 and it lasts ages.
It's great because it makes them look lovely and also feeds the stitches.
I use it once a month.

Sit on them the more you use them the softer the leather gets as oils in perspiration soften the leather, just give it a wipe down with a warm damp cloth (no detergent) weekly and about every 3 months give it a good wetting and polishing with leather care which has some oils and cleaners in it - that is unless it is suede or nubuck or analine leather which has no surface treatment when the best option is just the warm wet cloth.
If its really bad you can clean it with saddle soap and then Wash it off with a clean damp cloth but other than that use it and enjoy it... that's the beauty of leather!

A few suggestions from eHow.com on cleaning your leather and many tips from users who have leather on getting out stains of various kinds (hopefully you won't need this, but . . .). Note all the precautions!! Keep food and drink away from it, dust and vacuum it, of course. Watch out for hair products getting on the backs and arms -- use pillows. Good luck.

I would install some very expensive cameras and a very nice security system. Barbed wire with an electric fence should do well to keep people off of them.
Or you could just sit on them and enjoy them like a real couch.

u mean to clean them? I f yes, then just use a damp cloth 4 most spillages. Leather is much easier to clean than cloth & doesn't attract as much dirt. tHEY ALSO look more sophisticated
