You would think that all leather sofas would be created soft. You know the type of

leather sofa you sink right into when you sit down. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

Some of these solutions come from regular household items and some are products you

can buy.

Home Remedies

Saddle Soap is an excellent way to soften tough leather. This leather conditioner has

been around for hundreds of years when it was used by cowboys to keep saddles and

other horse tack in good shape. It may not be the best thing for a leather sofa though.

Vaseline is something everyone has laying around the house and it's cheap. Dab a

soft clean cloth into the gel and then work it into the leather sofa in small amounts until it

feels dry. You will want to wipe the sofa with a dry cloth to remove any excess grease

but the leather will absorb most of it. Try this on a small area first before doing the

whole couch.

Shaving cream has been a good standby for many people. You want to use shaving

cream on a clean damp cloth, working it into the leather. You will be amazed at how

quickly this softens your sofa.

Mink Oil is a favorite for many people. You can find Mink Oil at just about any

leather shop and is not very expensive.

Lanolin is another natural ingredient that will work.

A mixture of 500 g bag balm, also called milk salve and 100 ml of glycerin also

makes a great home remedy if you have a lot of area to cover and a small budget to

work with.

n all cases mentioned above, try it in an inconspicuous area first before doing the

entire surface. Wait to see how well it soaks into the leather.
