If you have young kids, they make sure to have enough sand on it so that this issue is resolved. You do get some ice cream, chocolate and variety of gooey stuff on leather sofa though but life is not perfect.

I dunno.

I had sex on a leather couch once. It was not pleasant. (it was in PTA in December, so that might also have been a problem)
 
Dubbin is good in the summer, because it needs heat to melt and absorb. Put the furniture out in the sun.

This company make a liquid dubbin, better for winter because it's a liquid already, does not need heat to melt and absorb. Very good stuff.

leather conditioner in a aerosol can .not cheap but no oily residue gets left over ,but be carefull make sure whatever you use is suitable especially if its full grain leather ,if its skinned its easier .sometimes better to contact the manufacturer.

see if you can see the inside surface of the leather ,a lot of manufacturers use pleather ,which is a synthetic material skinned with full grain thats bonded onto it .if you use the wrong stuff it can damage it .if full grain which is rare it needs to be professionaly treated .generally probably whats good for automotive should be ok .ive got full grain leather its a bugger to keep nice
