Problem with leather sofa

[Happy Mama]

I don’t have any issues with leather sofas. In fact I love leather sofas. I have been using my sofa for 13 years and it’s still in perfect condition. Colour remains vibrant and almost as new.


When we first bought the sofa, we polished it once with the leather protector that came with it. Subsequently, for maintenance, my helper just uses a wet cloth with some dettol to clean the entire sofa.

Really?We bought it from one of the shop in beach road furniture centre.

i thought only those fake ones will starts peeling off :?
this was told by one of the salesperson but i am not sure abt it

I think genuine leather will also peel IF it is very old or has not been under proper maintenance or the quality is low grade.


Lynn, I think you shld go back to the shop to make enquiry why your 1 yr old leather sofa has this peeling prob.

If you clean it with those leather ‘cream’ regularly, it will last very long. My leather sofa is 10 years old, still in tip-top condition.

My personal feel is that furniture of yesterdays were made with more care and the quality then was much better than the same type of material now.

Just like food. With today's technology advances, agricultural pdts grow faster, but the taste cannot be compared to the older days.

Agree with Jennifer, years ago, quality of furniture was much better.

need to make it not so gd quality so that u will go back buy again, boost economy
just like electronic applicances, if everything last for 10 yrs then the company can eat grass lor :lol:

The mentality of companies eating grass is doing great damages to Mother Earth. When Mother Earth is no longer viable, want to find grass to eat grass also got prob.
