Pressure Marks On Leather Require A Good Massage

November 16, 2015 - PRESSADVANTAGE -

London, UK – Whether its creases on leather seats and furniture caused by heavy objects, sharp items leaving marks or the  prolonged use of sitting in areas which stretch the leather causing it to deform and bulge, stretch marks on leather can be ugly. In order to educate consumers about the care of leather, Colourlock (www.colourlock.com) has just published a new blog post entitled 'How to remove pressure marks and creases in leather'.

The article discusses how ‘the best way to get rid of those pressure marks and wrinkles is to give the leather item a nice massage. With the help of a heat gun or hairdryer, heat the leather surface slightly and once warm  gently massage and pinch the damaged area in different directions for a couple of minutes trying to remove the bulge. The article notes how it is important to cool the area quickly after this with a cold iron or any other cooling (dry) item one can easily find’.

The article states that ‘If one is working with a piece of furniture where they can access the underside of the leather it will be easier to stretch the leather by massaging it from behind'. The article also cautions that 'the longer the pressure is applied for, the harder it will be to remove the marks as the leather fibres will be permanently deformed. There is no product that can be used to resolve this issue, and in most cases, it won’t be possible to make the marks completely disappear’.

“it is important to make sure we treat the leather to keep its moisture,” stated a Colourlock spokesperson, “We would recommend to first clean the leather with Colourlock Mild Leather Cleaner. Once cleaned, apply the Colourlock Elephant Leather Preserve to give it a soft glossy finish and maintain its suppleness. If your leather is matt, use the Colourlock Leather Protector instead to help it stay supple. ”
