can anyone recommend a cleaning product for a white leather suite please

I have never cleaned white leather so don't know how good it would be but for our leather I use a product called "rustic touch" which is made by Melaleuca. You can't buy it in the shops though, only through an agent.

Bought a cream leather suite last year, and got told by the shop to use baby bath, warm water and a sponge to clean it with. Have done this since and quite pleased with the results.

Does that keep it moisturised too?

Baby wipes are also quite good for cleaning leather

Oooh now that sounds like a nice easy method.

Try the ones with baby lotion in though like Johnsons so you are adding something back to the leather as well as cleaning it.

I use baby wipes for our leather but it's a chocolate brown one so dunno what the results would be for a white suite

I have a cream leather suite and do use baby wipes on it form time to time. You do need to keep the leather moisturised otherwise it will crack. I use to work in the furniture industry and this way had been recommended for cleaning as it contains moisturisers (not the cheap ones though, needs ot be a decent one) If its a stain then perfume is always a good thing to try to tremove the stain (if ink etc) but just make sure its moisturised afterwards

I have always used baby wipes to clean my leather settee.

Baby wipes have lots of uses......if they're good enough for your face they're good enough for your settee.

Think i've posted this before on here but here goes again, I had a leather suite repaired a while back and the fella that did it told me only to use things on the leather that you would use on your face

Asked a friend who owns a leather goods shop many years ago how to treat a dried out leather jacket and he suggested Nivea Cream or a brand called ' Leather Food', thought he was winding me up but it made the jacket like new. The leather food is available in Accrington at a shop up Warner Street. I supose it depends on what the stain is. General dirt should just wipe off with a damp cloth but as you do with your face, moisturise after.
