Leather sofas are comfortable to use and beautiful, but they often suffer from wrinkles. What should we do when we find that our leather sofa has wrinkles or is completely aged? Here are a few common methods that can help you repair your leather sofa and restore it to some of its glory.
1. Use hot water
When you find that your leather sofa has some wrinkles, to deal with this situation, you first need to prepare a basin of warm water, but not too much. Heat to avoid burning the leather sofa. Use a wet towel to cover the wrinkles of the leather sofa with hot water, then place large books or heavy objects on it and let it stay in this position for at least a few hours, so that the leather sofa will slowly return to its original shape.
2. Use an electric fan
If you want to quickly deal with wrinkles, you can also use an electric fan and place its stand on the leather sofa. Turn up the fan speed and blow it over the leather, which will heat it up quickly. Afterwards, you can place your hands on the wrinkles and spend an hour or two restoring them to their original shape.
3. Use the expansion tool
The expansion tool is a professional skin repair tool used to treat poor quality leather that may crack. When using it, you need to place the expansion tool on the wrinkle, and then use the handle to move the expansion tool to expand the wrinkle until it returns to its original shape. This method will make your leather sofa look smoother.
4. Use an electric iron
The last way to restore leather is to use an electric iron. First, protect the surface of the leather to avoid burns. Next, adjust the temperature of the iron to the appropriate temperature, place it on the wrinkles, and press evenly for a few seconds until the skin returns to its original shape.
With the above methods, you can easily repair your leather sofa and restore it completely to its original condition. But be aware that these methods are only suitable for minor aging and wrinkle problems. For cracked and severely worn leather, you should still seek professional help.
