I just recently spilled a bit of nail polish remover on my new light tan leather couch and the color has now gone from light tan to almost white, I was just wondering if there was any way that I could go about fixing this problem.

I, like the rest of the wives, was struck dumb with fear when i saw the mess I made w/ polish remover on my $3k leather sofa, but the shoe polish/black marker worked. Give me your name and address and I will include you in my will :)

I had nail polish remover split on my red, black and tan leather Uni bag - I use it all the time but now it has whitish splotches all over it. I rinsed the area in water straight away but then the spots appeared 10mins later. I can't hide it, it's everywhere.

This bag is very special to me it's from my late mum last Christmas and I use it everyday for so many occasions. What can I do?

Get a colored magic marker (or perhaps paste shoe polish that will dry after being applied---after all it is good enough for leather shoes that are used daily and in the elements so it should work on your furniture too)ANYWAY get it to match the furnitures color and then "color away", only you would know where the accident is/was and if you do not tell no one else will know it either. GOOD LUCK TO YA!

My daughter has got red nail polish on my black leather couch. I used nail polish remover in a panic and its taken the shine and some of the blackness from the leather. Any ideas on what to do?

RE: Nail Polish Remover on Leather

You can purchase this stuff at Wal-mart it is called Goo Gone! it works great but it may leave a small oil looking spot,if so remove the oil spot using Dawn dish detergent.

RE: Nail Polish Remover on Leather

Get some black shoe polish, the wax type that comes in a can and put several coats on, buffing between each application. If it has really bleached out a spot, first take a permanent black marker and color in the spot before using the shoe polish. I use this remedy on my leather boots & shoes all the time.
