What is the best thing to use to clean my cream leather suite.Tried leather wipes but not much good.?

Answer 1

I clean for a living and you will be shocked to hear that ordinary household soap is best , put some warm water in 2 bowls ( one for rinsing , one for wiping leather to get of soap) , have 2 pieces of towelling (one for each bowl of water)) put it in the water rub on the soap , then scrub the leather with it then rinse it off in 1st bowl of water , use 2nd bowl for wiping of excess soap , you will be shocked how clean it will be .

Answer 2

You need to use a good quality water based foam leather cleaner.

DO NOT use anything containing oils, waxes or silicones.

Baby wipes are just about the worst thing you can use as they will destroy the finish on your leather.

Saddle soap is too harsh to use on todays furniture.


You should also follow this with a good water based leather protector which will act like a 'scotchgard' and inhibit dirt and stains from being absorbed and make cleaning easier the next time.

If the leather has dye transfer from clothing or is very very dirty you can use a stronger cleaner called maxi cleaner which will probably bring it up well but must be used with care as it is a strong product developed especially for this kind of problem.

Answer 3

leather-based can and could be vacuumed robotically making use of the mushy brush so which you ought to not scratch. This keeps the same old airborne dirt and mud from settling into the leather-based. there are a number of grades of leather-based and the grade determines the thank you to bathe it. Saddle soaps are purely for unfinished leathers like baseball mitts, boots or saddles. finished leathers require a diverse technique. maximum leather-based products offered are semi-aniline. Vacuum as quickly as a week, use a delicate (organic Ph) cleansing soap and water, do not soak it. continuously try your cleansing soap first on a niche out of sight. A harsh cleansing soap will do away with the colour. you ought to use a leather-based conditioner as quickly as a 12 months. do not use mink oils, or furniture polishes on or close to the leathers. it's going to make the leather-based sticky. in the experience that your products are organic aniline, you are able to not use cleansing soap, only water. in case you're uncertain what style of leather-based you have, examine with the shop the place you acquire. maximum possibly it is semi-aniline.

Answer 4

I have had a cream leather suite for ten years and I have only ever used a clean sponge and warm water. Squeeze most of the water out and you can give it a good old scrb. use a clean cloth (or an old white t-shirt) and dry it off. You can see all of the dirt come off onto the cloth. Believe me it works, and it's FREE!.

Answer 5

Use warm soapy water. Washing up liquid or ordinary soap.
Scrub soapy water on with soft brush, wipe off with sponge. Keep changing water. Then using a cloth, such as a hanky or a tea-towel, wipe down with just water.
Then lightly spray with leather protecter or wipe in with cloth leather protecter cream.

Answer 6

As it is cream means it is dyed you can only use warm soppy water, then a dry cloth to dry and buff, if you use any chemical it will remove the protective polish they apply when producing the leather colour.
