2025-10-28

Leather sofas are loved for their solemnity, elegance, luxury and durability. Placing a leather sofa in the living room adds a touch of class. Of course, leather sofas are also quite expensive. If a leather sofa is damaged due to improper use, such as a scratch, it will not only affect the appearance of the leather sofa and become inconsistent with the overall indoor environment, but also shorten the service life of the leather sofa. So, how can you repair a damaged leather sofa?

If the scratches on your leather sofa are minor, you can use egg white to repair them. First, beat an egg and remove the egg white. Then, mix some paint, trying to match the color of the sofa leather. Then, apply the mixture to the damaged leather. Avoid rubbing with water, and the scratches won't come off. Once the paint is completely dry, add some leather brightener to the leather.

If the scratch on your leather sofa is large, a more professional approach would be more effective. For example, using leather repair cream: First, fill the scratched area with leather filler or leather repair cream. After drying, if there is any sinking, refill until the scratch is smooth. Next, select a color paste of a similar color and adjust the color before applying the color. Dry the applied area with a hair dryer. Finally, apply leather protectant to nourish the damaged leather and restore its luster. Leather sofa manufacturers or furniture stores where you buy sofas generally carry leather repair cream; you can ask for some as a gift when you buy your sofa, just in case.

If the leather peels off due to long-term use, and if it is a large area, this is very serious. We recommend that you directly contact the leather sofa manufacturer to change the fabric and refurbish it to restore it to its original state. During the warranty period of the sofa, you can contact the after-sales customer service to solve the problem. The customer service of the leather sofa manufacturer will arrange for personnel to come to your home for repair.
