Elizabeth on Jul 22, 2015Can you remove the cushion cover? Is it leather or suede?It's ok to get leather wet, soak it to re-hydrate the soap, rinse well, smooth out to dry. you may have to work the leather to soften it up if it dries stiff...this is part of the process that is done when hides are tanned..it's called "breaking the hide". Manipulate and kind of work the leather.....maybe Google hide breaking for a better explanation. I have tanned all kinds of hides over the years...Helpful Reply

Sandy on Jul 22, 2015Mary, I have leather furniture also. I would recommend a leather cleaner, even if it removes more of the color of the leather. Use a matching shoe/boot dye or polish, let it dry and use the best leather conditioner you can find. I'm afraid if the detergent is left there for a long period of time it may ruin your leather. Knowing how upset I would be, calm down, there is a remedy-first get that detergent off of there and maybe have a nice glass of wine! SandyHelpful Reply

Pat on Jul 24, 2015Think of the leather like your skin. That is all that leather really is. I would try and get as much of the soap out as possible with just water. I would then use a product called Leather CPR that is a natural product and it cleans and conditions. If it discolors there are methods for dying but i would hesitate to try that on leather furniture. If you were going to try polish I would recommend Meltonian which is a soft polish. Good luck with this venture. A good natural leather conditioner is Huberds Boot GreaseHelpful Reply
