Getting Wrinkles Out of Leather Furniture

Wrinkles and creases interrupt the smooth look of leather furniture, and can reflect badly on the room's overall decor. If wrinkles are not removed from the leather, they will often set in and turn into worn creases. Creases often makes leather furniture look older and worn, reducing its value. Two common household appliances will help smooth the wrinkles out of your leather couch.
