theshed Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 was thinking of buying a new leather sofa and liked the look of a white one. have heard a few stories about marking it if you sit on it with jeans ect. anyone out there had this problem? p.s ive not got kids as i know it would be hard to keep clean with kids around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavySlaveJambo Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Leather is popular amongst parents with autistic children because it is wipe clean. Not sure how easy white would be to clean though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronJambo Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 if your jeans are dry then they wouldn't mark it. if they were wet then there would be a chance of some colour transfer. ever seen a bloke with blue stains on his white trainers? same applies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychocAndy Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Sorry my wife is working and due to colour blindness I dont know if ours is white or cream but I have 2 kids and a dog and they do get marked but the good lady gets some stuff from QVC, I think the boy also has a stall at Kinross market, and it's OCD clean.

Craigieboy Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Don't do it mate. They get all marked around the seems & edges. Kids or no kids, it's a no-no. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you, they look lovely in the showroom but i'd imagine it would be a pain to keep entirely clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theshed Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 I'm with you, they look lovely in the showroom but i'd imagine it would be a pain to keep entirely clean the one seen in the showroom looked lovely but dont how it would look after a year or two. as someone said earlier ive got white trainers and they are marked with the rubbing of my jeans on them so was thinking it would be a no no to slide about the sofa with jeans on. thanks for the help so far:2thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Phamism Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I've got cream leather in my car and it does get marked easily by jeans, and since I only do about 10K miles a year I don't spend a massive amount of time sitting in the car. Not as much as I do on a sofa anyway....... It is easy cleaned though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currahee! Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I've had a white leather suite for 9 years now. No marks to speak of and my daughter was 4 when we got it. It's seen off a few parties in it's time. So go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
