Can leather furniture be restored?
The short answer is maybe. The success any leather restoration project is predicated on the integrity of the leather. While the leather can be badly soiled, stained, surface scratched and faded, as long as the basic fiber structure of the leather is sound (epidermis is still intact), then a restoration system works beautifully. If there are fissures or cracks in the leather, then that is not a good sign. If the finish is simply worn away, stained or faded, but the leather itself is not damaged, then the leather can be successfully restored. There are two approaches: 1. Professional leather furniture restoration or 2. A do-it-yourself leather restoration process. Professional restoration of leather furniture turns the project over to pros who know what they are doing. This can be expensive. If the furniture is decent quality, it is worth every penny as a pro will return the piece to like-new condition.
For the Do-It-Yourself community, the key to success is to have some level of professional involvement. It's important to know when the leather can be saved or when it has to be replaced. For example, if the piece is a bi-cast leather, then its not worth investing any money in restoration as the basic material itself is inherently weak. Furthermore, there isn't a single solution that can be used to satisfy every condition. If there are body oils in the leather that has to be resolved thoroughly and completely as the first step. Additionally, the nature of the leather determines the type of primer required. So for the do-it-yourself community, highest probability of success still requires some professional guidance from people who actually do this work. Make sure you are using the RIGHT materials for your specific leather (e.g. colored matched to your specification and appropriate primer for your leather). A sure prescription for failure is to jump right in with the wrong products and procedures for your leather.
But if done right, the results can be astounding. Even the color of the leather can be changed with a leather restoration process.
