    I use huggies baby wipes to clean my cream leather suite, not really cost effective as they're not too cheap, but buy em when they're 2 for 1. I'm sure theres a better and cheaper way to do it though.

    Can't get the link to work as it throws up strange windows and your pc is infected type boxes :o >:( ???

  • I use saddle soap on my cream leather suite - a friend recommended it and I was sceptical, but I was amazed by the results. Using a sponge rub the saddle soap into the grain, rinse the sponge out and wipe off the saddle soap - fantastic - even ground in dirt was removed (and biro!!!)
