How do you thoroughly disinfect a leather sofa?

Posted by admin
Florida w/ Questions asked:


A friend has offered me a sofa - can’t take it with her on a move. It is only a year old and very nice. BUT, she has 6 dogs. And all the problems that come with that. They have had mites, fleas, I am sure they have probably peed on the sofa, etc.

I am wondering if there is anything you can use on a leather sofa - either store bought or made-at-home that I can use to clean and disinfect the leather.

Thanks.

      Well, there are many ways to clean it, but I don’t know if there is a good fix for this. You can clean it with a leather cleaner and then set a bomb inside/under it for the fleas/mites/ticks, but I don’t know about any smells that might remain after that. It’s a start though.

      Call a leather company or a store that sells leather furniture and explain your situation to them. They can give you probably good advise!

      Sofa under the fabric areas checking for few hours the pet aisle or specialist pet aisle or specialist pet store next would get dishrag using soapy water and wring it is liquid that you notice any flea eggs etc if there are products to remove dirt then use.
