What is the best way to clean brown leather couches?

Answer 1

i hope these are useful to you.


A good way to clean leather furniture is to
add a little vinegar to some warm water and wash the leather, using a
clean soft cloth. Wipe with a dry cloth. To restore the polish, mix two
teaspoonfuls of turpentine with the whites of two eggs; beat a little and
apply with a soft flannel cloth. Dry with another cloth and rub well.



Follow these step by step instructions carefully on how to correctly clean leather, and you will have no problems.

Step 1.
Using clean water, dampen the surface area that you wish to clean. This will remove dust particles and dirt, and will enable you to clean the leather correctly.

Step 2.
Before the surface dries, add Renapur Leather Cleaner directly to it, and using a sponge rub it well in to the are to be cleaned.

Step 3.
Rinse with clear water and allow to dry

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) and furniture polish contains silicones

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 todays furniture.

A lot of leather wipes contain chemicals which will also 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.

Dry leather needs rehydrating with water and oils and waxes should not be used as the natural oils do not dry out of leather. Wiping over with a damp cloth regularly will help to do this.

It is important to maintain a regular cleaning regime cleaning dirt off the surface regularly and inhibiting the absorption of body oils into the leather with a protector is the best way of doing this.

The above answers could damage your sofa. The first step is to identify what type of leather you are cleaning. Nubuck, suede, aniline, etc. They all have different cleaning methods. If you are not sure, call a leather cleaning specialist or call Interlink Supply (interlinksupply.com)They can refer you to someone who can help.
If you are still bent on cleaning it yourself, you might look into buying a cleaning and protection kit from them or from Leather Master (do an internet search for them)
If you clean a leather sofa improperly, you can permanently damage it.

Answer 4

Geez, there are some idiotic answerers on here. But you use a light spray of Windex. Be sure to wipe it dry. If your paper towel comes up dirty - spray again.
