Hard to apply, took a week to dry, but saved my couch!
UPDATE: 11/24/2025 — It gave me more time with my fake leather couch but eventually it kept peeling and cracking and I had to get rid of it. This leather honey may help save real leather furniture, but it won’t stop the decline of the fake leather once it starts cracking and peeling. I have a real leather couch 20 years old and it’s basically the same. The fake leather lasts a few years and fails. This leather conditioner I don’t think will stop the peels and cracks once they have started. It may slow it down but it won’t stop it.UPDATE: 5/26/2022 -- It has now been a few weeks since I applied the conditioner. The slight sticky feeling that was still on the couch sofa is gone now. It has either soaked in or evaporated, etc. The sofa feels just like when I got it, but now I know it is not dry and going to crack worse. No new cracking has showed up on the sofa couch anywhere. The parts I repaired using the repair kit I bought on Amazon has also held up well. The areas where there were cracks are still sealed, but the repair kit filler has stretched I think. So it appears more visible that I patched them, but not unless you really look at it. However, I do think that the conditioner has helped to stop any new cracks from developing. All in all I wish I had put this on my sofa couch before it started to crack! I do think this would have prevented any cracks from forming. I may have put too much on when I put it on, but after running the fans on it and wiping it down many times and now a few weeks later, the couch looks great and has no sticky feeling to it at all anymore. I know this may not be ideal to have a couch such you can not sit on it for a while, but what I did was put a huge blanket over it until it was fully dried. That allowed us to use it without any problems and if we had not treated the sofa, I am sure by now there would be many more cracks in the sofa.--The first photo showing the entire sofa is from about a month ago when I bought a used faux leather sofa couch.About a month later the right side top head rest began to crack.I am guessing the couch is older than I thought and it was dry and the oils from hair against it after sitting and using the couch a few times for a few hours watching TV began to break down the sofa leather.I first used the Honey Cleaner on it, but it did not do much. I then used this Honey Leather Conditioner, but it soaked into the leather fast. It was hard to spread, I eventually put on disposable plastic gloves and rubbed the leather honey all over the couch surfaces that are used.I was having trouble getting it to spread, so likely used more than you are supposed to, but I did not want the cracking to spread and ruin the couch. The couch I had before this had this kind of cracking spread all over it and I had to pay to have it taken to the trash. You can see the cracks in the leather head rest of the couch in the 2nd photo.Those cracks did not come out from the honey leather conditioner. What I did to get the cracks fixed was use the COCONIX Brown Leather and Vinyl Repair Kit here on Amazon, but after I used the Honey Leather conditioner on it all to restore the health of the faux leather. I had to wipe down the couch a few times the first 24 hours. First I used paper towels and tossed them.Then a old towel and then a wet old towel and wiped more off. Then I ran a big fan against the couch 24/7 for about 4 days and then wiped it down again with a towel. I put old knit blankets over the couch for a week or so until the honey leather had completely soaked in. Even still if I rub my fingers on the couch they will pick up some of the substance, as my fingers I have not rubbed against it will be smooth, and the ones I do rub against it are a little sticky.The stickiness is getting less and less and I am sure in a few weeks it will be back to how it was. It is not a very noticeable stickiness now. After this I think I may just wiped it down with the Honey leather cleaner every few months.I do think I needed to use this honey leather conditioner though to save the leather, as it was cracking pretty bad in just a month of having it after I bought it used and it had no cracks when I bought it used. All in all I am happy with this. I likely used way more than is recommended.If you are wondering how this works on fake leather couches, it does seem to work, but does not absorb I think as fast as it does in real leather. It may be that my fake leather couch has been treated as well, which is why it did not soak in as fast.Ver másVer menos
