Question:

How can I reverse nail polish remover damage on my leather sofa?

I accidently got the cap of a non-acetone nail polish remover on my dark brown leather sofa, and now there is a white ring around it. I know people sometimes use nail polish remover to remove ink stains on leather, but is there any way to reverse the damage of the nail polish remover on my sofa? please help!

Answer:

brown nail polish?
nail polish removes color..so i would say that you can't reverse it
Get yourself some leather dye of the same color as the sofa and apply to the affected area. After it dries use a leather conditioner and sealer.
Nail Polish Remover On Leather
This was posted by someone who had used nail polish remover to remove nail polish from her leather sofa and was left with lighter spots -- it was not a dark brown sofa like yours, but . . .: After I was done I could notice a pretty big change in the color. My sofa was a Camel color. I then remembered someone using balm to condition leather. I got some Vermont's Original Bag Balm and massaged it through and let it stay. It made the leather's color even out a lot! Also leaving it so nice and soft. I swear it is the same stuff Dr. Martin uses for there leather shoe conditioner. This worked for me and I was at the point of giving up and getting something to just cover the sofa. Again, this was dime size spots. Maybe you can find something like this (a good leather conditioner) out there that will help on your sofa as well, either on the internet, or a good shoe store or leather goods store. Good luck!!
