We will be in touch
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 🙄
