Hi!

I have a nice leather furniture set - the only problem.. it's almost 10 years old and pretty dirty. It's light tan. What is the easiest way to clean? And least expensive. I have a couch, loveseat, big chair and an ottoman. And, do I really have to take a rag and literally scrub each section? It takes sooooo long.

What can I do next?

I've always just wiped mine with water and a dry soft towel.

we have a couch with a lounger thing attached and it does take a while but yep I go over each part of it with a soft cloth and wegman leather cleaner. You spray the cloth and then wipe down the section. It works really, really well and the spray is pretty inexpensive.

I've had leather for years and I just routinely use a warm cloth and towel.

It has worked for us and we have 3 dogs plus teen.

We have 3 sets, 2 med/high quality in navy and burgandy and the other set is higest quality, custom made burgandy. Never any issues with either set.

We always used Armor All products on the one leather chair in our house growing up (my dad's recliner). I think we used their basic cleaner but they make specific leather products as well. I know they are generally used for car care, but they work well on regular furniture.

Saddle soap...and to get the best results--yes, you scrub each section. Long, but should only need to be done about 1x a year. Well worth it to keep your furniture looking its best and not needing to make an investment in new.

I have two leather couch sets --like the ability to clean it! I just use a leather couch cleaner. I'd recommend buying a cleaner and conditioner set.
