It is the first step of repairing leather furniture. You should not ignore it because clean furniture will be smooth to repair. You need to take 70% of isopropyl alcohol and rub it on the gouges in the soft surface. If you don’t have alcohol available, you can use white vinegar to clean leather materials.

The reason for using this paper is to create fine dust to fill the cracked area of the leather. So, use it as filler with super glue.  Sand the surface in the cracked direction to make it smooth and soft. 

Remember! You should skip this step if you are using the leather glue.

After performing the repair process, you need to dye the glued part in order to make it look natural as it was in the past before flapping. 

Therefore, you need to have leather dye color similar to your sofa texture. Now apply the dye and fan it until it gets dry. 

After doing so, the last thing is to apply the leather sofa Dubai finishing polish giving an elegant look.
