I have red dye from a suede pillow that transferred onto my cream colored leather couch and I'm, well, pretty mad. Can you please help?
Thanks,
I can't imagine the frustration you're feeling!!! You might try this idea - the Magic Eraser now on the market - you know, the white sponge looking cleaning pad - will clean up practically anything. It's actually a little spooky to me how well it removes all kinds of dirt and stains. You might give it a try. Love to know if it works!! Good luck!!!
You have dye transfer. Magic Erasers act like fine sandpaper and if they remove the dye they will also damage the finish. Use Maxi Clean (LTT) which is specifically designed for this job and then when you have removed it use Leather Protect which will protect your pale leather from dye transfer in the future

I have a white faux leather recliner that has dye transfer from a blue chair cover.
I read that you said to use Maxi LTT
Where do I buy this?

I slept on my newer dark leather couch and got very hot with a black t-shirt on. When I woke up, ink from my shirt was imprinted on the couch. Please somebody give me an idea of how to remove this.
Hello Rocky,
In regards to your leather stained sofa seeing that it is new, did you purchase a warranty on stains? If so, my advise would be to contact your warranty service and have this taken care of professionally and leave the problem in their hands. If you had not purchased a warranty then the problem lies on you.
If your leather is (Protected/Pigmented):
Use the same steps as Aniline
If your leather is (Nubuck):
Step 1. Use Nubuck Cloth
Step 2. Apply Leather Degreaser
Step 3. Foam Cleaner
Step 4. Use Nubuck Cloth
Step 5. Apply Eco Protector
Dry in between steps with hair dryer
