How to Clean a Beer Stain From a Leather Couch

Relaxing on your leather couch with a cold beer might be the perfect way to end a long, hard day. But if you move unexpectedly or drop your can, the beer might spill and leave a stain. Leather couches are expensive; and if not removed quickly, a beer stain can leave an unsightly mark. Beer is a protein-based drink, therefore, you need a cleaning solution that works on protein-based stains.
