If you need to wash leather furniture, combine 1/4 cup vodka, 1/4 cup distilled vinegar, and 3-4 drops of jojoba or olive oil in a container. Pour mixture onto a soft rag and rub into leather. Do not rinse.

I'm wondering if this formula will work on leather coats and jackets also??

Goop waterless hand cleaner. I have used this for about 15 years now, I have used it on coats, chairs, all of the horse tack, saddles, bridles, halters, shoes, car dashs. You just put it on rub it in and let it sit for a few min, rub with a clean towel, you may need to get a new towel when that one gets yucky after its off take a clean towel and buff a little.

I used Goop on my leather sofa and it came so clean. I'm going to keep a jar of Goop for cleaning my leather furniture.

I tried Mr.Clean Magic Eraser and it does work; however, it would be too expensive for an entire sofa. All the other uses listed on the packaging work like magic.
