    What do you clean your leather lounge with?

    We have a leather lounge that we bought in good condition second hand recently. Its cream and tends to show up quite easily when it gets dirty. I know you can buy leather cleaning kits but I wondered if there were some simple & easy (and cheaper) cleaning ideas to give it a quick wipe over with regularly to keep it looking nice & clean.

    TIA

    I use the cleaning kit from King furniture. Our sofa always looks much better afterwards.

    Vinegar in water works a treat and a really really soft brush it gets in between the creases but it has to be like the softest brush ever made

    Friends of ours are getting a white leather couch for their new house soon. I'm interested to see how they go cos they're on a farm and the husband is always filthy lol. Plus their little black pup is always inside so I dunno... Anywho, at the moment they have white leather breakfast bar stools that will match the couch. She cleans them with vinegar & water, as Miss K said. She does it with an Enjo cleaner, and so far they look fantastic!
