HOW TO REMOVE STAINS ON A LEATHER SOFA?
Is the leather on your sofa deeply stained?
Is your leather sofa stained with baby milk or a few successive mishaps, and you don't know how to remove these stains? Have you tried to clean it as best as you could, but nothing seems to work, and the stains are still there? Worse, have they become deeply ingrained?
Don't worry, at Sofolk, we offer you two solutions and professional results. The first one is to clean the sofa with our powerful Stain Remover Degreaser. And if this solution doesn't work, you'll have the option to conceal the stains with our leather and faux leather paint.
The Sofolk Leather Stain Remover Degreaser
The first solution is to use this product to remove stains from leather sofas.
It has been specifically formulated for cleaning leather (sofas, armchairs, car seats), but it is also highly effective on alcantara (composite fabric) or other fabrics like microfiber and Skaï (a trademark of a German manufacturer).
The Sofolk Stain Remover removes and degreases deeply the leather of your sofa without any discoloration. This product can also be used on a Club chair or a leather car seat...
This product can also be used to treat sebum stains typically visible at the headrest location on sofas.
Spray and wait for up to 2 minutes for the product to work. Wipe everything with a microfiber cloth. Don't hesitate to repeat this process if necessary. If the leather sofa is deeply embedded with impurities, gently rub the leather in circular motions, without applying too much pressure. If the stain persists, the only solution available is recoloring.
Powerful degreasing cleaner for leather, skai, fabric, alcantara, plastic, etc.
Ideal for regular cleaning of your sofa, car, shoes, etc.
Leather Recoloration: The Ultimate Solution
At Sofolk, we highlight recoloration techniques and solutions accessible to everyone! This last resort technique allows you to hide indelible stains.
First of all, keep in mind that recoloration is never done only on the stained or damaged part of the sofa. In fact, you need to recolor the entire sofa to achieve a uniform and consistent result in terms of color matching. By partially recoloring the sofa, even with an identical color, you will always get a mismatched result.
Using a small foam roller and a small tray, simply apply up to three coats of leather paint. Allow approximately 1 hour of drying time between the different coats.
If you notice cracks, creases, or even cat scratches, you can always apply repair paste. The drying time can be accelerated with the help of a hairdryer. Finishing touches for delicate areas and small surfaces can be done with a brush and a damp sponge. If the previous layer adheres, it means the leather is wet or was not properly cleaned. In that case, you will need to clean the leather again.
Next, you'll need to protect your recoloration work with a protective varnish or wax 2 days later and again after 3 weeks. In reality, the varnish strengthens the color against subsequent wear and tear, reduces embedded residues, and waterproofs the sofa. This protective work is necessary and should be repeated in the most heavily used areas. It is after this varnish protection work that the sofa obtains its final color. In the long term, the silky varnish should be applied every 6 months.
And finally, to confirm the recoloration work, apply up to two coats of nourishing oil. At Sofolk, we are the only ones to recommend this essential application for the revival of your sofa. Indeed, nourishing oil restores the suppleness and resistance of yesteryears to your sofa. In fact, the oil penetrates the fibers of the material and never comes out again, nourishing the leather of your sofa. This post-recoloration maintenance is essential for the vitality of the sofa. Nourishing oil should be applied at least once every quarter to the most used areas.
