I'm Currently Feeling:  | Cleaning Leather Sofa
So what do you use? Prices? Any links?
I see thinsg from wipes bottles of liquid bottles that spray and polish! Someone said poundland sell leather sofa cleaning sets and are good at their amazement but I don't have one near me 
Any tips?!
My sofa is black and gets splash marks on from milk  and general dust been wipes lightly with wipes but knwo I need to treat it too! |

Polish ruins leather sofas in the end - my aunt did it to hers and when I was deciding if to or not to buy a leather the girls here said they ruined theirs by polish (RachieH was defo one). |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | I use baby wipes to clean mine..There black too and only a month old and scared of ruining them (after all they did cost a small fortune!!) I went about the first 2 weeks without doing it but in the end gave in and used baby wipes....They work a treat. XXX |

My sofa is black and gets splash marks on from milk and general dust been wipes lightly with wipes but knwo I need to treat it too! | MIL used to work for a leather sofa place. They say not to use wet wipes but she said that they are told to say this in order to sell the expensive stuff. Truth is, she said, wet wipes are the best thing for cleaning leather 
I would try that, maybe on the back first, just in case  |
