Leather Sofa Restoring - Highly Exciting

Amos91 · 11 Jul 2013 at 19:53

I lied.

Got a brown leather sofa which seems to be going patchy...

Any ideas if this sofa could be easily sorted with various products? If so, does anyone have any recommendations?

Cheers!

I don't think I've seen a copy of the Yellow Pages for a good five years...

e: 'good' is subjective. I was drunk for most of them.

The cushions are a bit saggy, so you wont fix that without some serious work ( re stuff them), but you can do wonders with a proper leather restoration kit if its starting to crack.

Have a look here, it take a while to do which is why pros charge so much but if you have time, you can probably transform it for about £60.

Also, you'll be surprised how much giving it a really good clean with the right fluids will change it's look, so you might not need to 'restore' it as such as the first stage of restoration is a pretty brutal clean anyway..

It'll be camouflaged before long and you will keep tripping over it.

Looks fine to me . Leather should look worn, unless you like your house looking like a show home.

Yeh the leather itself looks ok, and I can't see any cracking in the lacquer (may be due to the resolution of the photo).

It might just need a proper clean, as I agree leather should look lived in and have a bit of character.
