I would very much appreciate some advise. I live in the UK, and today I have been advised that the Natuzzi suite, which I believe in aniline leather cannot be conditioned as it will have not effect and remain the same as it is.

The suite is about 15 years old and unfortunately, Natuzzi are not particularly helpful with advice on care. When it was purchased I was told to sponge it down occasionally with a mild solution of soap flakes. However, this has not proved to be sufficient to keep it clean. It had also gone very dry, rough and lighter the seat edges, and these are the areas I believe need some form of nourishment.

Also, my pet Westie has also left her mark where she lies, leaving a dark greasy type mark. Some of this has lifted with the soap solution, but not completely.

I am more concerned on how dry certain areas are becoming, and would be obliged if you could confirm or discount the advice I have been given.

Thanks in anticipation

Sally
