# How to Repair Scuffs on Leather Furniture
Scuffs and scratches on your leather furniture are hardly cause for alarm despite how they look. They're a side effect of every day wear and tear, and will in most cases heal themselves over time, becoming less noticeable, according to online retailer Furniture from Home. However, if you have a scuff that isn't going away on its own, there are some ways to get rid of it.
Things You'll Need
- Leather conditioner
- Rag
- Can of acrylic lacquer
Instructions
-
Polishing Out the Scuff
-
1
Put a small amount of leather conditioner on a rag.
-
2
Buff the area in a circular motion with the rag.

3
Use another rag to wipe off the excess product. If this doesn't remove or greatly improve the appearance of the scuff, the top coating of lacquer on your leather furniture is probably damaged.
