My white leather sofa is now looking more grey than white. I have tried to clean it using ecover washing up liquid, baby wipes, etc. but to no avail.
Any tips / advice much appreciated.Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.-- Mark Twain0 -
Hi Catzpaws,
I often seen saddle soap recommended on the board. This thread has lots of advice:

I use saddle soap and a microfibre cloth for my cream sofa - it's now 10 years old and has survived kids/pets and still looks good.0

I have a brown leather sofa and just use a moisurising soap when it needs it. a nice wash with a soapy cloth, a good rinse and a dry off with a nice soft towel! just like bathing the kids really!
but OH prefers to buy a bottle of expensive leather cleaner - and tbh I think the expensive stuff makes it look dull!0 -
I had a cream one and used cheap cream cleaner and baby wipes and it came up looking really good.
It had marks from jeans etc on it and it all came off. It did take a bit of elbow grease mind but it hadn't been done for a good while before that.Credit Card: £796 Left/£900 October 2011 :eek:Store Card: £100 October 2011
