First, do not use fingernail polish remover because it will actually melt the leather as it does if you get it on any plastic surfaces, even frames of eyeglasses.
I love Mr. Clean magic erasers too, but I cannot use them on my countertops because they actually distort the look since I chose countertops with a sort of matted finish, and you have to be very, very careful how hard you rub or it will ruin your leather recliner, let alone pull the color out, though works great on stoves with no muscle.
Of note and this may not work on leather, my hubby and I have a boat on Lake Erie and upon deciding to purchase the boat, it had only 35 hours on the engine which makes the boat brand new, but the owner never cleaned this boat. It has white leather seats, now anyway, but before I cleaned them, those 4 white leather seats and white leather engine cover were stained from wet leaves off trees and had scuff marks all over them, and 2 ink marks. I went to Wal-Mart and purchased, try not to laugh, "Castrol Degreaser" in a purple bottle and every single mark came off those seats.
I do love those magic erasers but you really have to watch, though they do remove anything and everything, they will also pull off color and/or leave dull marks on floors, walls and anything else with a semi-flat or dull surface.
This Castrol Degreaser works like a magic eraser, but the degreaser does not distort color in any way whatsoever. I have used it on scuff marks on walls, floors, and wood without having to worry if it will ruin the finish.
But....definitely DO NOT USE FINGERNAIL POLISH REMOVER.

Mine uses a dark handtowel to sleep in the recliner

Time. That's all it takes. I took in a recliner full of smoke and a few years later sm
looks brand new and smells like my own home now. It was really bad with smoke. Same with books. It just takes time. It will eventually go away. Unfortunately, nothing I know works for that without ruining the books.
How do you get pen mark out of leather?
Help! My 3-year-old son has drawn on our leather recliner with a pen. The chair is a very light brown color, almost tan. I have tried a couple of things I researched, which include hairspray and antibacterial hand gel. They get out the pen mark, but they also take off some of the color of the chair in the process. Any recommendations? Thanks!
Patent leather (spelling?)
Shiny black would probably be pretty. What color are the flowers? If you like metallic, silver would probably look really pretty, too! Have fun!
I have mine declawed, never again. I had leather
furniture that he was ruining (he had 32 claws) so I had him declawed. He went outside to sit on the front porch in the sun occasionally. Two dogs killed him because he couldn't climb a tree. He was the sweetest, beautiful Himalayan mix, talked to me all the time.
Speaking of leather furniture sm
Does anyone have any idea how to make worn spots look like new again? We have a huge medium-tan set, not the darkest, not the lightest, 3-4 years old and some of the seats and arms are beginning to look very faded. I hate to put the wrong treatment on there but it was very expensive and doubt the store would do anything about it. I think it's starting to look shabby but it's my husband's fave and he refuses to "see it" fading. Thanks.
