Answer 1

Hi! Aren't you the frame around the mirror asker? For some reason, yahoo would not let me answer your email, so I'll answer your question here.

Here are a couple of suggestions. If the cushion covers can be removed, do so. You need to see whether the mold has gotten into the cushion batting. If it has, you will need to treat them, too. At the Lowes, there is a product called DampRid Mold and Mildew Remover and Protector. Be careful to buy the one made for fabrics. You may need to buy a couple depending on how badly the mold has infested.

Treat the leather with the DampRid spray by saturating the area and wiping with clean rags. Try to use a new area of the rag each time you wipe and change the rags frequently. Mold and mildew are actually living and you want to remove and kill the spores so that they do not grow into mold again. Also, if you can, try to leave the couch outside on a sunny day after cleaning it. It will help it to dry and sun also kills the spores. The DampRid will leave a protective coating on the leather that will prohibit regrowth, however. It might be a tedious, long icky job, but I think you can save the couch. Once the couch has dried, you may want to find a product called Jubliee. It is a great cleaner, will leave a nice shine and more importantly, it leaves a barrier on leather that will keep liquids from staining it in the future. Also, if it is a light colored leather and the mold left dark stains, it could help remove them.

Also, tell your son that leather has to breathe and doesn't like to be exposed to water, either :) Good luck. Let me know how it works. If it doesn't take it all off, I'll check out my other reference books...
