Morning All,

A few months ago we bought a brown soft leather chair. The chair gets used quite a bit. I noticed last night that the leather looks to have dried a little/dehydrated.

There does not seem to be any cracks.

Do I need to treat it with something?

Go to a Leather jacket shop – any downmarket one and buy a big tub of leather cream (fiver). I use that on my 2.5k sofa

Get some Meguirs leather treatment from Halfords.

We got a "leather care" kit with our couch which basically contains a cream that we rub in every 6 months or so to stop it drying out.

While we're on the subject: if anyone knows how to repair a cup mark on leather I'd be interested.

Mrs sat a cup on the couch. The bottom of it was sticky and sort of lifted the top layer of finish from the leather, leaving a lighter coloured ring.

I use baby wipes on my 7k sofa.

Gliptone Liquid Leather is the shizz for keeping leather good, it even makes it smell new…mmmm….new leather…mmm

Cool.

Are the creams/treatments quite "light"?

The leather is a light brown and whilst I appreciate some darkening will happen I don't want to end up with a mottled chair 😆

Also bit silly this but ….. I take it once rubbed in the creams/treatments leave no residue? 😳

@ Unsponsored – was that a serious suggestion re the Meguirs stuff?

Same here we got a big box leather care kit with ours that can be used to clean and tender it. To be honest it hardly ever get used we wipe it with a damp cloth to clean it and can't remember the last time it had any of the other stuff on it. It still looks like new even with 2 kids and dogs abusing it.

What's that natural product some females say is really good for their skin if splashed on their face?

It's free too.

I use the tears of seahorses on my 20k sofa

It cost me £850 from House of Fraser as a one-off reduced due to a blemish 1 inch long on one of the cushions (blemish as in the hide darkened slightly). The point is I use CHEAP cream to protect my high quality sofa. Its been fine for over 4yrs.

I use Unicorn sweat on my £21K sofa

Baby seahorses I hope.

TBH I use the fruit of my loins and ladies smeared genitalia to treat mine 8)

I use the milk from lactating mermaids.

I hope you still get the smell of natural leather

I use organic fresh air, humanely bottled on the tundra of Alaska by mute Native Americans.

I buy it from M&S.

I walked into this one like an absented-minded fool into a lampost 🙄
