How do I clean a lilac suede sofa?
I have a pale lilac suede like material sofa which is very dirty on the arms. The material is very tactile and people keep running their hands up and down it so it has lots of dirty marks.

How to repair splitting seams on jacket
I have a rust coloured Barbour jacket that I got in a sale about 20 years ago. I don't mind it being faded and scruffy, but now the sealed seams are splitting.
