Grease and leather were never meant to be. Unfortunately, food gets dropped and our pets’ natural oils can leave streaks or smears on leather furniture.

You’ll need:

  • Dry microfiber cloths
  • Corn starch or talcum powder
  • Leather conditioner

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1
    Step 1
    Blot grease

    Blot as much grease as you can from the furniture using a clean, dry microfiber cloth.

  2. 2
    Step 2
    Sprinkle cornstarch

    Sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder over the affected area until it’s covered. Let this sit overnight. (Make sure you lock any pets out of the room so that they don’t get into the powder and track it all over your home.)

  3. 3
    Step 3
    Wipe power away

    The next day, gently wipe the powder away with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Repeat the cleaning process if needed.

    Step 4
    Apple leather conditioner

    When all grease has been removed, apply the manufacturer-recommended leather conditioner to the area to restore your furniture’s shine.
