There were stories abound in the network about half naked women in the home, but sadly it never happened to me. However a cleaning pipe burst on me once and soaked me, and a lady asked if I wanted to take my trousers off so she could wash them for me :D |

Just wondering if anyone knows of a leather cleaner for my suite. Ive just washed it down with warm water and aerial washing powder. Although its cleaner I am sure with a specialist product it will come up gleaming :D
When i had the leather interior on my old car :( which is now gone.. Anyways it had light grey leather seats and it had like a shoe scuff mark on it , wouldnt shift with normal soap and water .. So went to Halfords and got some car leather cleaner , they was like a pack of 10 wipes pretreated , cant remember the name but brought it off easy peasy , so maybe worth a shot .and was cheap as well.. |

Hi Sam A friend of mine always uses baby wipes on her leather settee and its gorgeous and she has had it 20 years and it still looks like new - i suppose its the moisturisers in it that keeps it soft and looking good - just like a baby's bum. Love Sam |

Leather used on suites is general split leather (on most DFS suites for instance) its almost the cheapest quality you can get. The leather is split at the tannery, back and front and then tanned / treated. Its very thin, and often its coloured would you believe by being spray painted! Saddle leather is generally much better quality and not split, and thats why (I'm guessing) you would pay as much for a saddle as a three piece suite from DFS, if not more :D Thats why I mentioned that you can use something like low concentration dreft to clean it if you cant get a proper leather cleaner, and a good conditioner afterwards is a must and should be done every 6 months at least. Failing to do it over time can lead to cracking. Saddle soap is oil based, and can actually damage leather if not applied properly as too much oil can seal the leather and in time make it rot, especially here in Spain where the humidity can be high. I think saddle soap is still used a lot in equestrian quarters, but all I was trying to say that because of the make up differences of the leathers it doesn't always mean that one product is good for both items. Its a geeky thing, I know, but I learnt all this sh!te on a number of courses over 4 years with leather suppliers etc etc. I wish I could forget it all, but it keeps coming back :eek: Finally, can I just point you to the leather section here http://www.hermanmiller.com/hm/conte...tiles_Care.pdf A large US furniture suppliers advice (Only because Safeclean was a US company and thats the links I have) Thats my bout of seriousness over for today, I thnak you and goodnight :D |
