Using Shoe Polish On Leather Furniture |
|
|
I have beautiful leather living room furniture in a dark reddish brown color. It was expensive and (I thought) good quality. I'm very careful with it and use leather cleaning products regularly. My husband's recliner has patches where the leather is "crinkling" as opposed to cracking.
It's not a deep crack but a lighter area is showing. I'm wondering if I can apply shoe polish (creme or paste) and buff like I would a pair of leather shoes to cover this area. Also, I will not be offended if somebody tells me I paid too much for low quality furniture. If it all does this I would like to know also. This furniture is only 2 years old.

RE: Using Shoe Polish On Leather Furniture
You can use shoe polish, make sure that it is buffed to the point that it does not come off. The better option is to Re-dye the leather with a 'leather re-dye kit' which can be found at
http://www.leathermagic.com/Pages/recolorkits.htm
Or you can contact Fiebing (they carry Saddlery & Kelly's Shoe Care Products) at 1-800-558-1033 and order a shoe dye in the color you need - if you opt to use a shoe dye; you'll want to lightly dab the area to be dyed - let dry - condition with leather conditioner (I use Golden mink oil) then press & rub clean paper towels or old rags on the dyed area until they no longer show any dye residue.
I hope that helps
