We own a large aniline leather sectional that needs a tune-up (minor stains and fading). Can you please pass on to me your pricing for the above kit? Before I left for work this morning I snapped some pictures of our set for you to have a look at. I have gone over a lot of the posts in the forums here and don’t think our set is as bad as some others. I had asked specifically about the cleaning kit…
Attached are the photos; some were taken with a flash, some were not. Those photos without the flash probably give a better indication of the fading. I left two full resolution photos in the mix to let you get a good look at the leather’s surface.
This set was originally made for IKEA back in the day when they still made some half-decent furniture. The set is about 15 years old…
The armchair has more body oils (head and hands) while the sectional has a few food and water stains (baby drool). The leather is dry and needs a good moisturizer. I’m guessing that the colour will come back once it has been rehydrated. Of course the leather has stretched over the years; we don’t mind the wrinkles…
I think we want to start with the chair first (as a test case) and then tackle the sectional…
