Definitely worth a go, the chap from Cherish came out from DFS, he tried to use a type of coloured polish dye to go over our marks, but it was the leather that was damaged not the colour. As long as the leather isn't damaged I'm sure it can be sorted out, the problem with replacing cushions etc. is that no matter how old or new your suite is you won't get a perfect colour match.

Our suite was only 18 months old.

No the leathers fine....I have had a quick look around on the net and there are a couple of places where you can either send a fingernail sized sample off to, or give them the manufacturer/model name and they will send you the repair kit with the correct dye included. Its not very expensive and might be worth a try first.

It dont suprise me Het that Frontline took the colour out from the leather-i dread to think what the heck they put in it-Stronghold makes Vegas's tan coloured fur go even lighter!

Good luck with your quest in repairing the colour!

Are you sure this is true Jess? Lennon had a worm a few weeks ago. He's perfectly healthy......

Check your contents policy Het. We got new hall ,stairs and landing carpet through more than insurance when Gels tugged on a thread she found and unravelled a patch of carpet!I told them exactly what happened and they just laughed and paid up!! Can you ring your insurers and ask them without telling your name.
