Dear All

Recently we bought a new leather (red) sofa from Harvey, supposedly of good 
quality from the price. My young daughter accidently left some scratched 
marks on it with her nails. We are very disappointed that it can be 
scratched rather easily.
As a new user, I would like to ask: (a) How to mend those marks ?  (b) Is 
our sofa's leather not of good quality as they claimed, or we just have to 
be extra careful with leather sofa in general?
Thanks in advance for your help

Leather furniture shouldn't scratch easily.

We've had ours for over 12 years, and not a scratch !.

It sounds like you've either bought cheap, or been ripped off !.

Oh dear! too late. The only comfort is that the small of real leather is 
still compelling. 1400 is not cheap, for me.

Blueyonder, any tips for keeping it so long, any solvent you use for routine 
clean etc.

Many thanks,
P.

We looked at leather a few months ago John Peters I think the shop was 
and didnt buy because it became far to complicated they offered 6 
different grades of leather if it was scratch resistance it felts cheap 
from what I remember if it felt nice it wasnt hard wearing blew my head 
away.

Go back to the shop and seek advice they should know the leather grade 
what if anything its been treated with and what to do about the marks 
(Bloke in shop showed us how to scratch and removed almost the marks 
left) They will also now doubt have suitable cleaning products but a 
swift read of the ingredients and find the same cheaper is a good idea

Believe it or not, but my wife uses baby wipes to clean the suite, and
that's all !!!.

It leaves it smelling nice afterwards !.   :-)
