Old leather sofa question

[Phil (archive)]

I acquired an old black leather sofa. The color on it has faded as the leather is a little distressed. Is there anything I can do to it to renew the leather? I would hate to put the wrong thing on it and have it come off on anyone's clothes.

Suggest only sit on it while nude--the oils from your skin should do the trick, given enough time....

And now about the 'smell' ........well, thats something that might well warrant a new post, I suspect.

I was thinking of using something like Kiwi liquid shoe polish/dye. Or would that come off on people's clothes?
