How can a lavender oil stain be removed from a dark brown leather sofa?

Question

Lavender oil was spilled on a dark brown leather couch and left an "orange-ish" mark on the leather. It feels waxy to the touch, but cannot be scraped off with a finger nail. We have tried diluting the oil, as well as using a leather cleaner designed for motorcycles and dish soap, but have not been successful in removing or reducing the size of the "stain." Does anyone know what can be done to reverse - or at least minimize - this damage? We would appreciate any help we can get! Thank you!!

Answer 1

use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser it should work. I do not guarantee it, but it is really worth a try. It works on all our leather couches and on the wall and all.

Rite Aid also offers their own brand, but it is not as effective, but is however cheaper

Answer 2

The problem here would appear to be that you have removed some of the colour from the leather surface (it may be a 2 tone leather where the top colour/finish has been removed) and no amount of cleaning etc will resolve the problem.

Please DO NOT use Mr clean magic erasres as on this type of leather you will do a lot more damage.

2 tone leathers are not easy to fix yourself and you will really need to contact a qualified technician who can help you to resolve the problem.  DIY kits will not work and may make the matter worse
