Are you Bobby Davro or a Premiership football player? Surely nobody else would have white leather sofas?

try any cleanser type of baby wipe trust me i know it sounds stupid but it could work for you, we always used Johnson's baby wipes.
just ensure you condition after complete cleaning

I would have thought that cream would be a good colour anyway.

Have I just stepped back into 1985, or are you really Don Johnson in disguise?

I've got some autoglym leather cleaner in the garage......spray it on, use a mildly stiff brush to scrub rapidly to aggitate the cleaner into a foam (I use a nylon pot scrubber). Wash cleaner off with a clean wet cloth (wringing out and rinsing regularly), then dry with a synthetic chamois.

I've done some pretty minging leather interiors with it so I doubt a sofa is any different.

Just re-seal the leather with a cream conditioner afterwards to stop it drying out (or hide food or whatever fancy name they call it). You may need two or three aplications to make it nice a supple again.

Haha, he's not the only one - I've got a white leather corner jobbie too, which has also gone cream! Not bothered to be honest, it looks alright in cream!

Never been convinced on these hocus pocus conditioner cream products.

The part you see is a painted finish anyway!?!

Paint conditioner

Paint conditioner
Yup, its just painted leather (I've actually repainted scuffed leather car seats that have worn through to the base leather with succesful results).

If its cracked, scuffed or pealing, no amount of "hide food" (LMAO ) will do any difference.

BUT It does appear to make the leather a bit more supple and not so dry, and what repairs I have done do seem to last longer. Maybe because it keeps the paint flexible so it can stretch with the leather, or it could be it just acts as a lubricant to stop fat ***** from wearing them out too much.

I use Gliptone leather conditioner, mainly because of the smell (and I found the Autoglym conditioner a bit naff anyway), but wear nitrile gloves though, otherwise you'll be sniffing your fingers for several days afterwards .
