    Forget anything specifically for leather, Stardrops works wonders.

    Have a look in Halfords - I wouldn't try anything that doesn't say that it is specifically for leather.

    I use baby wipes. They clean everything and you soon learn when you have a dog and a baby! lol Honestly i swear by these. They take everything off. I use johnstons or boots own brand(dark purple packet) and they are usually buy one get one free.

    What is it that is on it? xx

    nnothing on thee just like to clean it every now and then.

    your not meant to use babywipes, dfs and the leather specialist i had out for a prob i had with it, both said whatever i do to stop using baby wipes as it ruins the leather. it dryes it out and the laquer will wear off intime leaving the sofa to crack, dye come out etc and generally be a right mess

    If you do a google search you will find out the same that baby wipes damage leather sofas, ive just done a search and found several sites all confirming this.

    i got a few stains on mine, they sent a specilist out to try and clean it, which didnt work so he redyed over the stain. had him out about 4 times in 2 yrs and had new foam put into the seats so ive had my moneys worth for my insurance lol

    but i wont buy from them again the quality is awful, the sofa is only 2 years old and the cushions are so flat and saggy

    I think it depends on the type of leather to be honest whether baby wipes ruin it or not.

    I've used them in the past, but not everytime I clean. Mostly, I just give the sofas a quick rub over with a duster impregnated with pledge or something similar (not the sticky stuff though...)
