How to Clean a Leather Couch 
Disinfecting leather couch with baby wipes
Baby wipes are a great way to clean a leather couch. The wipes contain cleaning moisture, which is gentle on leather surfaces. They are an excellent choice to clean a leather couch from pet messes, dirt, and stains. The wipes are also a great alternative to cleaning cloths.
However, you should use care when using these wipes. Some wipes may have chemicals that can harm the leather. Always test the wipes first to make sure that they do not contain any ingredients that may harm the upholstery. You can also use 100% natural baby wipes instead, which are gentler on your skin and furniture.
Another option is to use white vinegar to clean stains. It is a good alternative to rubbing alcohol because it kills less bacteria. Make sure to rub the mixture on the area for 10 minutes, and then wipe it down with distilled water. Once the vinegar has dried, apply a leather conditioner, if you have one.
Cleaning scuffs with toothpaste
Cleaning scuffs on soft leather couches is not a very difficult process. All you need is a little cleaning solution and a smaller tool. A toothbrush works well for this task as it can reach hard-to-reach areas. If you don’t want to buy a new brush, you can use a regular one.
Another option is to use a leather cleaner. Leather cleaners are made of chemicals that help break down dirt and stains. Some contain a conditioner as well. To use it on your couch, simply spray the cleaner onto a cloth and wipe all over the surface of the couch, going from top to bottom.
A rubbing alcohol solution can be used to remove ink stains from leather. Make sure to use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away excess alcohol. A mixture of vinegar and warm water can also be used to remove stains. Finally, a solution of cornstarch and lemon juice can be used to remove protein-based stains.
Cleaning stains with furniture polish
Furniture polish stains can be tricky to remove, but with patience and the right cleaning solution, it’s possible. First, use a clean white cloth to test the stain. It should come out clean without colour transfer. Next, apply a neutral detergent (one that contains no bleach or alkali) to the stain. Always wash with cool water and avoid applying heat to the stain.
Another option is to use a homemade furniture polish. You can even make it yourself at home. Just make sure that you don’t apply it too often, because it will leave a sticky buildup that attracts dust. Afterwards, apply cold water and blot dry. This should help remove any remaining stain.
Another natural option for cleaning stains is hydrogen peroxide. This is a great whitener and mild antiseptic. However, it can discolor some items if left on for too long. If you’re concerned about discoloration, use only 3% hydrogen peroxide. Then, wipe off the residue with a clean cloth.
Cleaning with cornstarch
If your soft leather couch has a grease stain, you can clean it easily with a solution of cornstarch and water. Simply sprinkle the mixture on the stain and allow it to sit for at least 30 minutes. After this time, you can vacuum or brush the cornstarch off. If the stain persists, you may need to contact a professional cleaner.
For more serious stains, you can mix white vinegar with five to ten drops of tea tree oil and use it as a cleaner. Be sure to use room temperature water and not tap water, as tap water contains chemicals that could damage leather. While you are applying the solution, use a clean cloth and gently rub the stain with a circular motion. If necessary, use a soft brush to scrub problem areas. You should then wipe away excess liquid with a dry paper towel.
Using a vacuum is another effective method of cleaning a soft leather couch. It works well for removing grease, oil, and other stains from soft leather. A vacuum attachment with a crevice attachment can help you clean the base of the couch.
