Treating/cleaning leather furniture

Options
A brand new leather suite is arriving imminently. Grateful for any thoughts or input as to the best leather treatment/cleaner on the market today.
I'm sure the supplier of my suite will try to rip me off with their preferred overpriced product, so what say all you guys and gals out there??
Thanks in advance.

    When I bought mine I was told to use Lux soap flakes to keep it clean and supple and I think it works just great, you can certainly tell when its been cleaned, it feels and looks lovely! I don't do it as often as I should, every few months but its chocolate brown so it doesn't need doing much.

    Just put a small amount in a jug with warm water, let the flakes disolve and rub it on with a clean cloth, trying not to overwet it (I think I was told just to use the bubbles) Use a clean damp cloth to go over it afterwards to remove any residue.

  • Sorry this is late.....buit thanks for your post Sarah.
  • You can get leather care kits from eBay and other sites from around £10.

    I am about to order on myself. Beats the £80 add-on the DFS sales person tried in vain to sell me!

    I just bought item number 4455273983

    I use Lux soap flakes too. Cheap, easy and effective.
    Just because you are offended, doesn't mean you are right
