    We have an Ivory leather chair that's starting to look a bit grim.
    I have cleaned it and nothing is coming off onto the white cloth but i can see dirt in the grain.
    Anyone got any idea what i can use to get it clean.

    Hi Lyn,

    I did speak to someone concerning my cream leather sofas and was told it wasn't dirt but the paint coming off making it have that appearence.Simply wear and tear.I was actually given some paint identical to the colour and it came up great.I think my constant over cleaning wasn't doing too much good.Sorry, it doesn't help you Lyn but i am pretty sure your chair probably isn't dirty and the more you try the worse the problem becomes.

    Thank you .
    Yes that would make sence.
    I have got some touch up paint that came with it.
    I'll try a small area.
