METHOD1: Repairing the major scratches:

Ø  Identifying the type of leather that your couch is made from:

           You can do this by taking a close inspection of your couch. Since different types of leather are repaired in different ways so it is important to identify your furniture type. There are mainly four types of leather which are used in making furniture i.e. pigmented (or finished)leather, aniline or natural looking dyed leather and Biscat leather is made with a split leather backing covered with an embossed layer of vinyl.

·         About 85% of the leather furniture is made from finished leather that has a durable surface and does not absorb liquids.

·        Aniline is high-quality leather so its furniture is rare. Aniline couches do not have a surface coating so the texture of the couch can be easily seen.

·        Biscat leather is made with split leather; it is made from inferior quality leather which is split into a thin layer.

Ø Call the manufacturer of your leather furniture:

·         The manufacturers will recommend you in various ways in which your leather scratch problem will be resolved and sometimes they may even send some free or discounted repair kits.

·        The remedies they’ll provide will be directly based on your leather type.

Ø Recognize the type of scratch:

·        Leather furniture can be scratched at different levels. There can be a minor scratch, a deep one or a major scratch. So it is important to identify the type of damage in your couch.

·        In cases of minor scratches, only the outer coating of the leather will be damaged and the underlying leather will be intact.

·        In cases of deeper cuts, you may be able to see the underlying fibers and fringes around the cut.

·        And if your furniture has been completely cut then you may be able to see the inner components of the furniture. At this point, you may have to patch the scratched area on your own otherwise consult it to the manufacturer.

METHOD2: Repairing the minor scratches

Ø  Using baby oil, olive oil or sandalwood oil on the scratched area:
