A friend was told by a furniture store not to bother with ther expensive cleaning solututions, you will get a better result using dove soap, and it really works.

baby wipes took the colour off my John Lewis leather sofa

Sorry to appear ignorant (usually use babywipes, or purpose designed stuff), what do you actually do with the soap?

What do they put in baby wipes that makes them such good all round cleaning aides???

I soaped it up on a sponge , cleaned the sofa, then wiped it down with a damp cloth, no stickness or residue was left.

When I clean mine with wipes, they come away coloured, not sure if that is the colour from the sofa, or general dirt. Not noticed any long term problems though. Don't use the value ones one the sofa though (they are FAB for cleaning cookers!!).

Will try the soap trick later, we've got some stains from when DS2 had reflux (which ended nearly two years ago)
