Freshening up leather sofa

[fiorentina]

I have a leather sofa that is a few years old and I want to freshen it up. Leather is fine not visibly dirty but I feel it smells a bit greasy. How can I do this? My DH says baby wipes ruin the leather but any other tips for making it smell clean?

I use saddle soap

I used lux soap flakes

[ToastMakesMeHappy]

I use baby wipes! Or leather wipes sometimes

Ok thanks. So I presume with soap flakes or saddle soap it may get a bit wet and that's fine, but not too soaked?

I used to soak the cloth wring it out and wipe then dry it

Half and half water and white vinegar. Apply with kitchen roll and dry with more kitchen roll. It really cleans leather well and if you dry it immediately it won't smell like a fish and chip shop.

For years I have used a little washing powder in hot water, scrub with sponge/brush and then just dry off with tea towels

Used to bring my old cream leather sofa lovely, softened the leather getting rid of those grubby cracks that appear and smelled fresh
