Step 1: Vacuum

Mix up an easy DIY solution to clean the leather. All you need for this DIY leather cleaner is:

Re-wet and wring out the rag as needed.  If you prefer not to use vinegar, you can use a very mild, moisturizing all-purpose soap made for use on leather. Once you finish, rinse away any soap residue with a fresh rag dampened in clean water. 

After the leather couch is clean, be sure to thoroughly dry the leather with a soft, absorbent towel.

Let this DIY leather conditioner set overnight. The next day, use a soft, clean towel to absorb any excess and buff the leather to a beautiful shine!
