Faint smell of smoke on second hand leather sofa so

Kim_kim · 2014-08-04 17:36:18

I bought 2 beautiful leather sofas (really expensive ones). I assumed the lady was a non smoker & you couldn't smell smoke in the house. However I get the faint whiff of nicotine from the sofas now. What's the best way to clean them to remove the smell of tobacco? I don't mind how much it costs, I got them at a bargain…

Some of Heals leather is pure aniline. You can tell the type of leather by doing a simple moisture test. Put a drop of water on the leather and see whether it soaks in or not. If it does very quickly you have an Aniline Style leather. If it soaks in slowly you have a Pull Up or Micro Pigment with some finish on the leather. If it stays on the surface you have some sort of finished leather.

Hope this helps
