How to repair a damaged genuine leather sofa?

Genuine leather sofas are loved for their dignified elegance, luxurious durability, and sophistication; placing a genuine leather sofa in the living room adds a touch of class. However, genuine leather sofas are also relatively expensive. If they are damaged due to improper use, such as being scratched, it will not only affect their appearance and clash with the overall interior design, but it will also shorten their lifespan. So, how should you repair a damaged genuine leather sofa?

If the scratches on your leather sofa are minor, you can try repairing them with egg white. First, crack an egg and use only the egg white. Then, mix some dye, trying to match the color of the leather as closely as possible. Apply the mixture to the damaged area of ​​the leather. Avoid rubbing with water to prevent the scratches from coming off. Once it's completely dry, apply a leather brightener, and it will be even better.

If the scratch on a genuine leather sofa is large, a more professional approach will be more effective. For example, using leather repair paste: First, fill the scratch with leather filler or repair paste. If it sinks after drying, refill until it fits properly. Next, choose a similar color pigment, mix the colors, and then apply the paste. Then, use a hairdryer to dry the area. Finally, apply a leather protectant to nourish the damaged leather and restore its shine. Genuine leather sofa manufacturers or furniture stores usually carry leather repair paste; you can ask for some as a gift when you buy the sofa, just in case.

If the leather is peeling due to prolonged use, and if it's peeling over a large area, it's a serious problem. We recommend contacting the genuine leather sofa manufacturer directly to replace the fabric; a refurbishment will restore it to its original condition. If the sofa is still under warranty, you can contact their after-sales service; the manufacturer's customer service will arrange for someone to come and repair it.
