My mother had a good faux leather recliner. She used some type of cleaner on it. Now it is extremely sticky and everything sticks to it! How do I clean leather furniture?

Try leather cleaner first to see if that gets it.
Use a few squirts of Dawn dish liquid in warm water. Dip a cloth and wring out so it's only damp. Wipe down the recliner. Rinse and wipe dry. If it's still sticky use Goo Gone on a cloth and wipe down the recliner. Then wipe off with a clean dry cloth. A 50/50 mix of vinegar and warm water may also work. Krud Kutter would be a final solution.

Sound like she has used the wrong cleaning product. Many furniture polishes can also cause this. If this is the reason, you might be able to use a mild detergent and soft cloth to clean it off.
