I bought this leather cream at bed bath and beyond and it does a pretty amazing job...just rub it in and it looks so much better!

Dont remember the name but it was about $9 and in a yellow bottle.

What about trying the leather cleaner and conditioner from Coach? I have it and use it on my Coach bags, but I can't see how it wouldn't help w/a leather sofa.

You can buy it on their site for $8/per bottle. It's not for suede or water buffalo calfskin.

This is going to sound crazy but I clean my leather sofas with Pledge!!! It works really well. Also any auto supply place usually sells leather cleaner (for cars) - we use that on the leather seats in our car and it works wonders. I'm sure it wouldn't harm a leather sofa.

The place where we bought out leather couch said you can use mild soap and water.

You can buy leather cleaner and protector/conditioner. I wouldn't recommend Coach. Too expensive and the bottles are rather small for the amount of surface area on a couch. Try Guardsman, which is sold at Bed Bath and Beyond.

Re: leather couch?

I just use a little mild soap (like Ivory) and warm water on a sponge to clean the leather furniture.

It's also a good idea to dust it regularly with a cloth.

The furniture store we bought from gave us Leather Master soft cleaner, which I've used only two or three times. They also gave us Leather Master protection creme which is a 2-3 time a year conditioning treatmetn that you just rub on.
