Stain On My Creme Leather Suete

I have just recieved a leather suete second hand. It was filthy when i got it but baby wipes seemed to take most of the dirt off! One of the chairs has a massive green stain on the seat part looks a little like spray paint or something like that. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to get it off. The leather has already cracked a little bit and i dont want to use something too harsh. Thanks xx xx

    Please do not use baby wipes to clean the leather as this will only break down the finish even more. Depending on what the stain is you need a stronger detergent cleaner to remove it but it may need recolouring particulalry if the pigment coating is already cracked.
    This is not necessarily a DIY job as most of the DIY kits on the market do not work very well and may actually ruin your suite.
