We recommend leaving it overnight, cleaning is very simple all you need is to vacuum up the baking soda, it’s that simple.

How to Clean a Leather Couch

Cleaning a leather couch is a little different, you start the same, vacuuming over and under the cushions very thoroughly, once that is done, if there are any stains that you need to get rid of use a mixture of water and soap, with a damp towel not wet, clean using a circular motion not exerting a lot of force, then dry the area, don’t forget this step. For the rest of the couch, you will need a leather cleaner and conditioner, you can get both of these products at most department store. Don’t add the product directly to the couch use a clean cloth for each product and for drying, add the cleaning solution to the cloth and wipe very gently all around, making sure to clean the edges, nooks, and crannies. Work from top to bottom to avoid any uneven polish marks. Then before adding the conditioner make sure to wipe away any excess product left behind, and do the same as before, add the conditioner to the cloth not directly to the couch, and proceed with the same steps as cleaning, let the product sit until dry, that takes about 1 - 2 hours, the conditioner is very important, it keeps the couch from cracking and ripping, and if you take good care of your leather couch it will last you a long time and it also leave a nice pleasant smell.
