How to Fix a Wrinkled Leather Chair

Pour half a cup of distilled white vinegar into a large bowl. Add 1 cup of neat's-foot oil, which is found in hardware of pet supply stores. Stir well until the two are thoroughly blended. Apply the mixture to the chair with a soft, lint-free cloth. Rub gently to remove any dirt or debris. Buff with a clean cloth to remove any excess solution.

Turn a hair dryer to its highest, hottest setting. Hold the nozzle approximately 6 to 8 inches away from any visible creases, folds or furrows. Move the dryer down the length of the affected area, sweeping it gently back and forth, until the wrinkles vanish. Be patient. The deeper the wrinkles, the longer it will take to remove them.

Plug in an iron, and adjust the setting to low. While the iron warms up, cover any remaining wrinkles with a thick cotton cloth or a sheet of brown wrapping paper. If you do not have brown wrapping paper, substitute a paper grocery bag that has been cut in half to form a single layer.

Press the iron lightly against the protective barrier. Move the iron across the affected area using small, swift strokes. Keep the iron in constant motion; do not let it rest or press too powerfully against the wrinkles. Check your progress periodically. The heat should smooth the material, effectively removing any creases.
