Got a new brown leather suite yesterday, it has poo, pee and butter on it already!!!

[Demented]

My much desired brown leather suite arrived yesterday and it has been christened already. DS2 is potty training and both DS's had bread and butter for a snack this afternoon and have put buttery finger prints all over it.

The biggest problem seems to be the butter and poo marks, they have been wiped with a damp cloth, small spot of Fairy, but have left a greasy mark, any ideas if this will fade? I don't think it's too bad but I have had half a bottle of wine but DH thinks it is shocking and by the looks of his face I think he is thinking of banning the children from the living-room!!!

But think how much worse it could have been if it were brown suede!

We have had a leather suite for 10 years, and it has aged wonderfully. They are much tougher than fabric sofas.

Try a baby wipe (honestly!) Otherwise you can buy a leather cleaner for grease marks.

We use baby wipes too. You can buy specialist leather cleaners from places like Lakeland Plastics, Betterware, etc, but the wipes do the trick.

Ah, I said to DH babywipes, that's what they recommend on MN. He looked a bit skeptical.

Any particular brand? I've got the Huggies in the re-sealable bag here, are they OK?

Bump! It's just that I seem to remember people recommending Johnson & Johnson, wondered if the lotion in them was what worked with the leather?

.. well it's the right colour!!!

another example of why you must never buy cream!!!!
