How to Polish a Leather Sofa

To polish a leather sofa, clean the surface first with a soft cloth and mild soap solution, then apply a quality leather conditioner or polish using a microfiber cloth. Buff the sofa in circular motions to bring out a natural shine without leaving residue. Regular polishing keeps the leather smooth, prevents cracks, and maintains its original look.
