My sister said that the key to keeping a white leather sofa clean is to act fast. She said in case there is an oil or grease mark on it, then I should follow the below methods. 

Method 1:

• The first step was to sprinkle some baking soda or cornstarch over the stain. 

• Then rub it for some time and leave it overnight.

• She told me to wipe it off the next morning with a soft cloth. 

Method 2:

• She asked me to mix one tablespoon of baking soda, one tablespoon of Borax, and 100ml of water in a bowl. 

• Next, dip a clean cloth or a sponge in that solution and apply it to the stain. 

• Gently rub the area to remove the stain, and it will be removed. 

After telling me about these methods, she told me to make sure that I didn’t scratch the surface of the sofa. This how to clean white leather couch. 

I have immense love for the colour white and have bought a white leather sofa previous year only. Leather sofas are easy to clean mostly but at times, if not cleaned for a long time, the stains on it hardens making it quite difficult to remove. Previously we used to call some cleaning services to clean it up but now, it gets dirty quite often making it impossible to spend so much money on it. I knew that from now I had to clean it myself so asked my mother

and got to know some remedies that did help me and I hope will help you all as well.

My mother suggested that I opt for the oil and vinegar solution and it did work. 

• Mix ½ cup olive oil with ¼ cup vinegar

• Put the solution in a spray bottle

• Sprinkle the solution on the entire sofa or the dirty area and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes

• Wipe the area with a dry cloth and it is all clean

Once I did not have olive oil so I tried my own home-made remedy which too gave great result.

Once I kept the grocery on the sofa for merely 10minutes and somehow the oil got leaked and stained my sofa. I had no clue but had to go for a home-made remedy and as soon as I saw it, I poured some baking soda on it and left it for 2 hours. Astonishingly, when I wiped it out, everything was back to white and normal and even my Husband never got to know what a big mistake I made. 

I hope my answer has helped you to know how to clean white leather sofa diy.
