Leather cleaner

[Jeff Miller]

What you think is leather is really vinyl (paint). The leather is
sprayed with a vinyl paint to color and protect the leather on most
leather seating (including the Flexsteel stuff). Your butt never
touches leather.

I use a commercial leather cleaner, which usually dries out the leather
(where the surface is cracked, real leather is exposed). After it is
clean and completely dry a conditioner should be used, pick your
favorite from Mink Oil to Lexol conditioner, you need to quench the
leather at these cracks so that it flexes instead of cracking deeper.
