How to Repair a Scratched Leather Couch
- 1). Wash down the area on the couch with the scratch on it with alcohol leather cleaner. Do not rub the alcohol into the leather. Pour alcohol cleaner on a piece of cloth and gently dab the scratched area.
- 2). Prepare a leather touch-up pigment according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- 3). Apply the pigment to the scratch on the couch. Use a fine paintbrush to dab the pigment onto the discolored, scratched area.
- 4). Paint a thin layer of pigment over the repaired spot and blend it into the undamaged surrounding area. Apply a few thin layers until the scratches are no longer visible. Dry the pigment with a hair dryer after each layer you apply. Leave the pigment to set overnight.
- 5). Pour leather protector onto a clean cloth and wipe it onto the couch. Apply the leather protector on the whole surface area.
