How to Get Head Oil Stains Out of Leather Furniture

Leather furniture provides style and comfort to your home, but it may become soiled over time. Oils from your hair and body can leave unsightly stains on the furniture. If head oil stains are given time to soak into the leather, stain removal typically must be done by a professional. However, if you treat the stain at first sight, while it’s still near the surface, removal of the stain at home is possible.
