Table of Contents:You Will NeedSteps to Fix a Mark on Leather with Shoe PolishWhy Wouldn’t This Method Work?Additional TipsSourcesThere are many tips about this going around that we’ve seen – some people saying it works, and others saying that it doesn’t – or more specifically, that it won’t soak into the leather and will instead soon be found on someone’s clothing the next time they use the couch. Luckily for all of us, Katie Ferguson, a mother of two with an Instagram account dedicated to cleaning &amp; home topics (her account has unfortunately been deleted) recently tried this method herself and what we learned from her is that this method can indeed work well.&nbsp;Here’s what Katie did to achieve the great results you see below.Begin by cleaning the area well to remove any dirt or body oils that could be on the surface of the leather, which would make it more difficult for this method to work. (The oils or dirt could prevent the shoe polish from adhearing to the leather and drying.)Apply a very small amount of shoe polish onto a cloth and wipe the polish over the area on the leather that needs to be fixed. Be sure to choose a shoe polish that contains wax; the polish that Katie used is Kiwi Shoe Polish. Here is a video of Katie applying the shoe polish to the couch.Wait several hours, then rub a cloth over the area to ensure that the polish has fully dried and no polish is transferred to the cloth. If any polish is transferred to the cloth, continue wiping the area while rotating to a clean section of the cloth each time until no more polish is transferred to the cloth. Here’s the proof this method can work: Katie sent us a video of her testing the area with a white cloth and as you can see, no polish is transferred to the cloth even with a good scrub!The reason this method may have worked out so well for Katie is not only the light application of shoe polish that she used, but also the type of polish that she chose: one that contains wax. Cream or oil-based shoe polishes work differently and depend on their ability to soak into the leather material, which could be prevented by leather that has already been treated with an oil or conditioner, which would prevent the polish from absorbing. Wax-based polishes, however, can not only soak into the leather, but also harden on top. According to Leather Honey, wax-based polishes are very difficult to remove from leather, which may be one reason why Katie got such good results with this method: her polish contains wax.Rate this item:Rating: 93%.
