My husband likes to sit on one side of the couch and the headrest has a dark stain on it from the natural oils in his hair. I have called the manufacturer and was told there is nothing that can remove the stain from the headrest. The leather absorbs body oils and this is the nature of the leather. I can replace the head cushion but I'm sure it will happen again. If I end up replacing the head cushion I might as well try to clean it myself. The couches are a dark butterscotch color-beautiful but am very disappointed in this product. I have purchase the cleaner and conditioner that Arizona Leather has made especially for their leather and it did not clean my stain at all. Would appreciate any suggestions you have.

Quick n Brite worked amazing! It softened the leather and I didn't have to use a conditioner afterward. Since then I have had pretty much everything happen to my couch, spilled juice, vomit, grease etc. and I just run to the sink and grab my Quick n Brite without having to worry! This product is a must own for people with leather furniture or clothing!

I have an ink stain remover that I've used and I've been scrubbing and scrubbing - it's lightened but is still there. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm wondering if the bleach idea would work? I'd appreciate all thoughts... it's only 9 months old! :) My husband sat on our white leather couch with his new belt and it’s left marks – looks like a train went over the furniture!

Sprinkle carpet or furniture with fresh coffee grounds and let set for a few days. Then vacuum. It will absorb the smell. It will smell like coffee for a few days but will dissipate. If a car, leave closed up with the grounds in it, then vacuum. Have used it successfully many times.

Is the bleach mixed with a portion of water or used straight? I also have a beige couch and would like to try this method, but don't know how to put the bleach to work without risk.

I was amazed at how easily the dirt came off. I just used a damp kitchen rag and then rinsed out the rag to wipe the bleach off and in 30 minutes we had a couch that looked like it had just come from the furniture store. After that I conditioned it twice with store bought leather conditioner. We just accidentally used bleach on our 10 year old light beige couch. I was amazed at how easily the dirt came off.
