Can you use this product on the fabric lining of purses to clean them?

Four kids aren’t cheap either. Especially when you factor in damage like this. The good news is yes, Quick n Brite will absolutely clean this mess. You’re not going to find it in stores locally, so you’ll have to wait for it to arrive, but the only thing similar that would not come clean, is permanent marker like a shapie. Regular old ball point pen ink is easy peasy, and you only need very little to quickly clean it, so there is no risk to that pricey sofa. Use the paste full strength to sort of scratch at and lift the ink with your fingernails, then wipe clean with a dry terry cloth towel. You will love how easy and effective this stuff is.

I have a leather sofa that is 100% leather and it was not cheap. However, I have 4 children (ages 9 to 1 year) and although I have been very consistent in trying to keep the couch clean, somehow pen marks have managed to make its way on the leather couch. I am scared of what to use to get the ink out of the couch for fear of damaging the leather even more. Would you recommend the Quick ‘n Brite for this? Can you buy this product in a store or is it only available online?

Yep. Leather is tricky, but that is why this cleaner is so great. You run almost no risk of damage, and are pretty much guaranteed success.

Be really careful when cleaning your leather sofa. I ruined our sofa trying to clean off some marks from the head rest

Absolutely! A regular sized container would be more than enough for this job.

It may not be able to restore the color, but it should remove the waxy build-up. If it is the coating that is causing the color difference, then it would work, but if it has chemically altered the material or something like that, it may be a permanent color change.

Quick’n Brite does not kill germs because it is all natural. It does however, enable you to remove 99.9% of the germs on the surface you are cleaning. So, yes it does disinfect.

I did not see how to disinfect leather. I have been sick with strep throat and confined myself to the recliner. How can I disinfect it w/o sraying Lysol on it or wiping it with Clorox Wipes? Or can I use these products?

I have a beautiful pair of light tan unfinished leather boots – I wanted to keep them in good condition and naively put a neutral wax on them thinking that was the thing to do(which I later discovered is a total no no) the leather has absorbed the wax and they have completely changed colour to a richer brown. Will this cleaner remove the wax and restore to their natural colour?

We have an extremely dried out sofa sectional that has one side that is a favorite seating place. Can you use the product to clean an entire 7 – 9 ft. sofa? And how much would be needed to do so?

It is a naturally derived enzyme cleaner that is incredibly safe. Basically the perfect cleaner for chemically sensitive people. The main ingredients come from coconut, vegetable fat and seaweed.

Just about to clean a leather chair (Lazy Boy) and am sensitive to things. I see the recomended cleaner and seperate conditioner has “butyl cellosolve” which is a neuro toxin. What are the ingredients in Quick’n Brite?
Thanks

Yes it will. It works for red wine stains and is safe for any leather surface.

Quick’n Brite will work just fine on suede, and oil stains are one of it’s strong points. You should have great results!

I’m afraid you didn’t talk about suede shoes in the “Clean Leather Shoes and Sneakers” paragraph. Does it mean Quick’n Brite can’t clean the oil stain in my brown leather suede shoes. Because of the accident to my leg i normally wear suede shoes and i will be very glad if i can get something like Quick’n Brite that will be removing the stains. Your reply will be very vital in my decision. Thank you.

This can be tough because this type of staining actually soaks into the leather and changes it’s color which is more difficult than something dirty on top. Luckily though, Quick’n Brite is an excellent degreaser, so it should work well to remove this too! Just use the paste full strength. Apply it directly to the spot and work it in. Do not use water, or add moisture. Once on there, let it sit for a few minutes, and then take a dry terry cloth towel to complete the job. Buff the area clean with the towel. You should see the staining lighten as it transfers to the towel. You may need more than one application in order to completely clean this type of mess, but Quick’n Brite should prove to be safe and effective for this job.

My son and fiance were visiting and now the suede leather chair has a large circular stain in the head rest area. I don’t know if it is oil or hair products. How would I clean this?

This dark discoloration is pretty normal for leather. It happens when liquid is absorbed by the material. This is why you want to avoid using water, or spraying any sort of liquid cleaner onto leather when trying to remove stains. It is also why liquid spills from beverages can create some of the worst stains on leather furniture. If you use Quick’n Brite in the paste form, it allows you to clean without using any water. You will just apply the paste to the stain full strength. Work it in and then buff the area clean with a dry terry cloth towel. This method should be far more effective than the other methods you have tried. Quick’n Brite won’t change the color of your chair, and any area that you clean will not only be spotless, it will also feel nice and soft to the touch.

I have a “Joe” chair (shaped like a LARGE baseball glove, from Stendig in Italy. Original value about $9,000.00). It is a very light tan soft leather, and it has many stains on it from an unauthorized party. Any attempt to remove stains turns the leather darker… any suggestions?

It would definitely be safe for pig leather. Go ahead and use a similar technique, and you should have excellent results.

They may not make it incredibly clear, but this stuff is great for leather. It doesn’t matter if you have dirty sneakers or a dingy sofa. Quick n Brite will work great. It most certainly conditions as it cleans too. For soft, clean leather, this is a great choice.
