How to Clean a Cream Leather Sofa

Cream leather sofas are a practical option for people who want light-colored furniture that requires little maintenance. They're more stain-resistant than fabric sofas and spills usually just run off the surface. Remove dirt, fingerprints, and pet hair by vacuuming and wiping with a damp sponge.
