>>> Over the weekend our new couch was stained with what I assume was whiskey. Any advice how to remove or lessen the appearance of this stain? I did attempt cleaning withe leatherhoney and it seems only possibly damaged the finish of the panel.
The finish is refinished with AnilineTop-76G, however prior refinishing, the original stain mixed with the residue of the leatherhoney will need to be removed. Any alcohol will also dry up the original fatliquor which will need to be replenished with Fatliquor-5.0 to retain its original suppleness. The diminishing of the percentage of fatliquor from the original average 14% will lead to dryness of the leather that will eventually lead to dry rotting.
>>> I also discovered this stain this morning, which is ???.
Suggest that a drop of distilled water is tested next to the stain to determine if the stain is penetrated or still remains on the surface of the finishes.
>>> Do I have any options here or do I learn to live with it and hope it eventually blends better?
You have options to remove the stain, the leather-safe system that is based on the principle of tannery science and logic.
