HELP! We move our leather suite tomorrow to the new house, its going to look so grubby. Does anyone know of a good cleaning product.
I have rung round for proffesional cleaning but they are so expensive.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Denise

I have a very light coloured leather suite and have found using toilet soap and a warm soft cloth brings it up a treat. I sometimes use a leather conditioner afterwards - very rarely tho'. Brings it up a treat.

Try you local car accessory shop. We use Autoglym leather cleaner on our sofa and it works a treat. We was advised not to use baby wipes or similar because they apparently dry out the leather causing it to crack over time. The autoglym stuff cleans it and also replenishes the natural oils in the leather.

Coffee table was just from one of the shops that sell Bali furniture, 300 dollars, but our friends wanted big coffee table so they bought one of the dining tables and cut the legs down, looks really nice. The coffee table has drawers in the sides which is great. Denise
