    Does anyone have one? Are they a nightmare to keep clean?

    There's no kids or pets in my house and we've never made a mess of anything but I'm nervous that cream would end up taking a battering from the dye in people's jeans or other things I haven't been able to contemplate. Does anyone have an experience, what do they look like in 2 or 3 years and what do you clean it with?

    we have a 3 piece suite with about 12 years. not a bother with it. We also have 2 dogs, a now teenager, and a MIL.
    Wash it with warm water and shampoo, sometimes use special leather wash stuff bought in furniture shop. One chair is used
    regularly for homework, so I use solution to remove biro marks. On the whole, I would buy again.
    Best of luck.

    Thanks a million for replying, that's made me feel more confident about it. It would be so nice to have a bright sofa as my room is a little on the darker side. I want something a bit cheery! :)

    They are pretty durable.

    Had one 2ith a malamute and a husky and me not being the cleanest coming in from garage, Still looks good.

    Get a good leather care and use it once every 6 months to keep it at its best but not essential.
