Answer 2

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

DO NOT use anything containing oils, waxes or silicones. (Most 'conditioners' contain waxes or oils)

BABY WIPES are the worst thing you can use as they will destroy the finish on your leather. They are very strong alkiline cleaners to neutralise urine (acid) on babys skin so they are not the right thing to use on leather.

Saddle soap is too harsh to use on soft purse leather.

A lot of leather wipes contain chemicals which will aslo destroy the finish or leave residues on the leather which will damage it. They are not cheap in the long run as you would need a lot to clean a whole leather sofa. A bottle of foam cleaner should do your furniture 1-2 times.

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.

Go to the supermarket shoe care section and get yourself some Kiwi Saddle Soap. It cleans, softens and moisturizes any and all dyed or undyed leather. Shoes, coats, furniture, etc. Won't affect the color either. And it'll cost you less than 5 bucks, and applies with a damp sponge. Real easy. And Makes your leather smell real good too. I use it on all my girlfriends expensive bags,shoes and coats.
