“Saved us thousands on professional sofa restoration”
“Our leather living room sofa was showing serious wear from sunlight and daily use—chalky, faded, and rough to the touch. This restored the moisture clean, didn't leave any sticky residue, and didn't rub off on our clothes. Brought back that warm leather look without needing expensive professional restoration.”
Feeds a dry, faded leather sofa or recliner back to a deeper, even color and a soft hand, without dye, silicone or a greasy film. The same jar does the wood around it.

Every piece is different: age, earlier finishes and cleaning products all affect the result. Always test a small hidden spot first and let it dry completely. Made for finished wood and smooth, absorbent leather. Not for suede, nubuck, unfinished, synthetic or bonded materials. Pemberton's isn't responsible for damage from misuse, skipping the test spot or use on unsuitable surfaces.
Real rooms, real furniture
One thin coat, buffed off. No dye, no recoloring kit, no new sofa.
Before
AfterThe arms had gone pale and papery where hands rest every night, and the headrest felt like cardboard. A new recliner was on the Christmas list.
Vacuumed the seams, wiped it down, worked in one thin coat after dinner and buffed it before the game. The arms came back a deep, even brown and the leather felt soft again. He still won't let anyone else sit in it.
Before
AfterClaw scratches everywhere, all showing pale against the caramel, and cushions that felt dry and squeaky.
One coat across all three cushions, rubbed in with a cotton cloth and left overnight. By morning most of the light scratches had sunk into the color and the leather felt soft instead of squeaky. The dog approved first.
Before
AfterEvery afternoon the sun hit the backrest. The top had gone chalky and two shades lighter than the seat.
Two thin coats a day apart, buffed off each time. The color came back much closer to the rest of the loveseat and the chalky look was gone. The blinds come down in the afternoon now.
Before
AfterDusty, stiff, crazed on the arms and smelling like a basement. Everyone said to have it reupholstered.
Cleaned it twice, fed it, let it rest a day, fed it again. It didn't turn new, and that's the point. It turned warm and rich, and it's the best seat in the living room.
Illustrative before and after images. Results vary with age, finish and leather type.
Dry, faded arms. Seat cushions that look tired. Pale scratches from the dog. Most leather furniture isn't worn out. It's thirsty.
Leather was finished with oils that kept it soft. Years of sun, heating vents and everyday use slowly pull them out, and what's left looks dull, feels stiff and shows every scratch.
The usual options: a new sofa for a few thousand dollars, a recoloring kit that paints over the problem, or a spray that's shiny for a week. Pemberton's puts the oils back. No dye, no paint, no silicone.
Wipe it on, give it ten minutes, buff it off. One jar does a recliner with plenty left for the next chair.
Faded leather hasn't lost its color. It has lost the oil that made the color look deep. Silicone sprays and wipes sit on top and wear off in days. Heavy oils soak in unevenly and stay greasy. Neither one does the job.
Pemberton's does.
First, jojoba, shea and hemp seed oil work into the dry fibers, so the leather softens and the color deepens from inside.
Then, beeswax and carnauba leave a thin layer that buffs dry, so nothing comes off on your clothes.
Shiny for a few days, then gone. Nothing actually goes into the leather.
Soak in unevenly, darken in patches and stay greasy on the cushions.
Wipes on and buffs dry in ten minutes. No dye, no silicone. Repeat a few times a year.

Boots by the doorNot sure your leather will drink it? Put a drop of water on a hidden spot. If it slowly soaks in, you're good. If it beads up and sits, the leather is heavily coated and will take much less.
It goes on clear and deepens the color while it's wet, then settles as it buffs. On light or cream leather, test under a cushion first.
The method
Crumbs in the seams scratch. Vacuum them out, wipe with a barely damp cloth and let it dry.
A little on a cotton cloth, small circles, one cushion at a time. Thin beats thick.
Ten minutes later, a clean cloth until nothing comes off on your hand.
Lift a seat cushion and try a small spot on the back of it. Let it dry overnight. If you like the shade, do the rest. Light and cream leathers deepen the most.
Recoloring kits that streak. Sprays that wear off by the weekend. A delivery fee bigger than the jar. You've seen the options.
This doesn't dye, paint or coat, so there's nothing to undo. And if your furniture doesn't look and feel better, you get your money back within 30 days.
Before you open the jar
While it's wet it deepens the color, then settles back as you buff. There's no dye in it, so the shade you end up with is your leather's own color, fed. Light and cream leathers deepen the most, so test under a cushion first.
Not if you go thin and buff. After about ten minutes, buff with a clean cloth until nothing comes off on your hand. What's left is dry to the touch.
No. Those are a plastic or polyurethane layer over fibers, and there's nothing in them to feed. If your sofa is peeling in flakes, it's bonded leather and no conditioner will fix it.
Most sofas have some finish. Do the water test on a hidden spot: if a drop slowly soaks in, the leather will drink the salve. If water beads and sits, the leather is heavily coated and will take much less; you'll mostly get a cleaner, softer-feeling surface.
Light surface scratches on thirsty leather often blend into the color once it's fed. Deep claw marks that cut into the leather stay; that's a repair job, not a conditioning one.
No. It softens dry leather so it's less likely to keep cracking, but cracks, tears and peeling need a repair kit or an upholsterer.
A thin coat over a three-seat sofa can take a good part of a jar, depending on how thirsty it is. Recliners and armchairs take less. That's why most people pick a bundle.
Every three to six months for furniture in daily use, more often near a sunny window or a heating vent.
Six ingredients: jojoba oil, shea butter, hemp seed oil, beeswax, carnauba wax and vitamin E. No solvents, no silicone, no added scent. Keep the jar out of reach of kids and pets like any household product, and let the furniture buff dry before use.
