Cheap leather conditioner for sofa?

Any suggestions for a very cheap and effective leather conditioner? I have a second hand chesterfield with quite worn and creased cushions. Because of DC there is inevitably lots of spills and wiping, which is taking its toll.. I did read somewhere that canola oil spray is a possibility, but I am scared of stuffing the leather further. Any suggestions?

TIA

I got some from DFS - it was in the sale !! but also found that Huggies baby wipes work wonders too !!

I bought a pack from Ikea. It had a cleaner and a conditioner in.

Shamefully this was about 4 years ago, when we bought new sofas - and I have used it errr once.

Good value though, and seems to have done its job!

Astonish - brilliant stuff and very kind to old leather.

I would always use tack cleaning products on leather, saddle soap to clean and tack oil if its looking a bit dry.

The dog makes a hell of a mess on our leather car seats and saddle soap brings it up a treat.

I use gold label saddle soap and kieffer oil by the way.

another vote for saddle soap
