How To: Remove stains from leather furniture

Make your leather furniture look like new again by getting out spots and stains.

Step 1: Clean stains immediately

Blot spills immediately with a clean, white cloth, and then clean the spot as quickly as you can. The more time that elapses, the more difficult it will be to remove stains.

Dab – not rub – with one part dishwashing liquid to five parts cool water, using a clean cotton cloth. Dab until the stain is gone.

Step 3: Blot and dry

Blot any excess liquid and then let it air dry.
