How to renovate your leather sofa?

If your leather sofa is worn or damaged (holes, scratches, snags, etc.), a restoration is necessary to restore it to its original appearance and give it back all its lustre. Renovating a leather sofa is within everyone's reach and can be very easy to do provided you follow a few essential steps.

First of all, you need to clean your sofa in order to remove dirt and grease from it. Over the years, its use has inevitably left traces of sebum, perspiration and household pollution. This first step is therefore essential if you want the following treatments to be able to properly penetrate the grain of the leather and thus obtain an optimal result.

On this clean basis, you might want to renovate a cracked leather sofa, or renovate a designer leather sofa for example. In any case, if there is any damage to the leather surface, you will have to carry out a repair if you want to restore your sofa. Using a paste, or liquid leather, you can remove the damage to the leather and enjoy a smooth surface for the rest of your leather sofa renovation.

Depending on the damage and wear of your leather sofa, a recolouring may be necessary. More than a finish, it allows you to choose a new colour for a change of style or to recover the splendour of the original colour. Whatever the case may be, a new stain will give your leather sofa a new lease of life for an impeccable finish.

In order to preserve this recolouring but also to keep the aspect of your leather, you must apply a protective varnish on your sofa. This product makes your leather sofa more resistant to rubbing, but also to scratches, to guarantee you a complete and long-lasting renovation.

Finally, and always with the aim of keeping your leather sofa in excellent condition, it is important to regularly nourish it with a suitable oil. Frequent care will ensure that your leather is supple and comfortable. Moreover, this product allows you to keep your colouring intact for several years.

By following these simple steps, you are sure to renovate your leather sofa at home in the best possible way for a stunning quality result that will delight you every day.

Why feed your leather sofa BEFORE or AFTER any renovation?

Whatever the leather, we recommend the application of Sofolk 100% Natural Fodder Oil 15 to 30 days before, or 30 days after repairing very cracked leather. By penetrating the leather fibres, the Oil will allow the leather to regain its suppleness and preserve the colour of your sofa for longer. You will thus preserve all the aesthetics and comfort of this central part of your living room for several years.

It is therefore essential not to underestimate the importance of this care in the maintenance of your leather sofa, and to proceed with its application respecting the time of infiltration necessary for an optimal and quality result.

How Much Does It Cost to Renovate a Leather Sofa?

The cost of restoring your leather sofa will vary depending on the products you choose and the size of your sofa, as you'll need more or less quantity for a complete renovation.

If you opt for a renovation kit rather than purchasing products separately, you should expect to spend between €109.99 and €209.99, depending on the number of seats of your leather sofa. We recommend choosing this option for your renovation work. Indeed, leather sofa renovation kits provide all the necessary products for your project at an advantageous price.

Which Product to Use for Renovating a Leather Sofa?

Sofolk has developed several quality products and thus offers reliable items for each stage of your leather sofa renovation:

• Sofolk Sebum Cleaner: Naturally produced by the skin, sebum seeps into the leather and eventually leaves greasy films or stains around the neck and armrests. This product provides deep cleaning without discoloring your leather.
  
  
• Sofolk Leather Mender: Ideal for scratches, small cuts, or light snags, this mender allows you to glue the edges of the damaged part together. Invisible when dry, it prevents the leather grain from further degrading and does not necessarily require recoloring.
  
  
• Sofolk Repair Paste: For more significant damage, this white or gray paste is a liquid leather that fills in cracks, scrapes, cuts, etc. For areas where more material is missing, you can use our imprint paste to recreate the leather texture, thus reviving your leather sofa. However, this repair will require recoloring for an ideal finish.
  
  
• Sofolk Pigment Leather Dye: An easy-to-apply dye available in the color of your choice thanks to a wide range of shades. The tint of your recoloring can also be custom-made by sending a sample of your leather sofa for a restored original color.
  
  
• Sofolk Silky Leather Varnish or Sofolk Protective Wax: Essential for protecting your coloring and preserving the quality of your leather, this varnish is available in several finishes (glossy, matte, satin).
  
  
• Sofolk Nourishing Oil: An oil designed to respect the nature of the leather and deeply nourish it to prevent premature wear and dry leather on your sofa.
