Members Rancho5 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Members Report Posted April 30, 2014 Thanks for the website. I called them and they suggested their leather cleaner and then leather saver. I'm wondering how much color the process will bring back. My question is about dying leather though. I called a reputable upholstery shop in town and they said "get new sofas or live with it...no one dyes leather sofas anymore." Maybe they aren't so reputable? So is dying a sofa very complicated? Clean...spray with water to moisten but not soak...apply dye to rag and work in a section at a time until you get the desired color...let dry...apply a finisher. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Quote
Members Hi Im Joe Posted April 30, 2014 Members Report Posted April 30, 2014 Personally, and this is just my opinion...I think you are crazy to try and dye that sofa. I think it will be very hard to get even results. Also, part of the cool is the vintage look the wear provides. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how much color comes back after you condition the leather. Quote http://www.sevenhillsleather.com/
