Leather stain cleaning? - Cleaning Talk - Professional Cleaning and Restoration Forum

My dining room chair seats are roofed in leather. Oil was dripped on them, leaving a few dark marks. Am I doomed or is there something I can do besides blotting which did nothing. Any advice?

Best Regards,

There are some chemicals but it's possible to damage the leather. That's why you can use a home made product. Just take some distilled vinegar, 2 spoons of baking soda and than tread it with detergent. After that, wash with warm water.

hmmm, I think you might be pretty much stuck with them that way. You can try some harsh leather cleaners but you will probably do more damage than the oil. I have a white leather lounge and yes, some marks will never come out.

I know...I dont tink I will ever buy a leather one again...they look great, but once their damaged in some way, its very hard and expensive to fix.

Probably the best way is to upholster it again if nothing works
