    Oh yes, I remember and liked that.

    We had a cream leather sofa on the IoW but left the furniture when we sold it and never had to clean the sofa.

    Ah, that could be quite a while @CanadianLori. This is one of the few jobs allotted to my other half, so expect to hear from me sometime in the next year. :biggrin: Yes I will let you know. :)

      My suite reclines @ricky101 so throws aren't an option.

        I don't let them sit down,...... maybe that's why I don't have any friends.

            Sorry to hear it didn't work @Sheal . Perhaps isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) on a cutip might work. :fingers crossed: As an FYI I have used it on things like naugahyde with success. I realize that it wasn't real leather but their surfaces are quite similar.

            I haven't got any isopropyl @CanadianLori, so I'm going to try bathroom cleaner first.

            There is Isopropyl in most hand sanitizers if you have that, it might work.

            I could, but why pay out for something that may not work and the rest binned Pete?

            Because it might work, and it would cost pennies, compared to how much for a new suite? :biggrin:

              Because I thought you wanted to get the stains out, a couple of quid is worth a try.;)
              Since covid you can get it on any street corner almost.

              I'm going to try a couple of things I have here at home first and will give you an update if I find something that works.
