Reply with quote Thanks

I have tried removing an oil or grease stain from a light colored piece of leather furniture to no avail The leather is rather porous. Have tried corn starch which did not work. Any ideas?

I think i'd try white spirit. You may need a little wax to refinish the area though as the white spirit may dull it somewhat.
