Hello 1stclasscleaning and welcome back to the forum!

First, a few tips on leather care:
Leather should not be exposed to direct sunlight and to keep it in the best condition and you should clean it regularly.

For regular cleaning is best to use a soft cloth or micro-fiber cloth. Most people agree saddle soap works great on leather.

To keep leather supple, you can make the following recipe:
1 part white vinegar
2 parts linseed oil
Jar with lid

Pour the vinegar and oil into a jar, place the lid on and shake well. Apply to the leather with a soft cloth such as a mico-fiber cloth. Let it sit for 12 hours and buff. If the cloth starts to soil, be sure to use a fresh one. Store the leftover solution for future usage. This above was recommended from the following website:

For stain removal on leather:

First...always follow manufacturers instructions. Look for a tag and then you can look up specific information using the web. If you have no tag or manufacturers information, go to the following link for stain removal:

Always remember: When removing spots from leather, test any cleaning method on an out-of-the-way spot first.

Thank You mrscleannw for your valuable reply.I read the tips you gave for keeping leather cushions intact, Actually I am a bit worried about the tip last time my sister tried something same like vinegar and oil solution and her cushion was all teared off actually I want to know that do we have to mix these two in some proportions or just in any proportions will do?
