Now see, I NEVER would have thought of that :-)...

Current Mood:
CC is listening to: Smile Again--Manhattan Transfer (The Manhattan Transfer)

When I told Steve about how I couldn't get the doggies' scratch marks off the leather sofa and chair, I figured I would need to buy some sort of expensive leather restorer to get them back to normal.

The next day I come home from work and the scratch marks are gone.

"How in the world did you DO that?" I asked, sheer amazement on my face. "I tried the leather wipes but they didn't do a thing."

"Try sitting on it," he challenged, smiling.

So I sat on the sofa.

"Oh my GOSH!" I exclaimed. "It doesn't feel dry anymore! It's so supple! What did you DO?"

"Vaseline."

"Vaseline?"

"Yeah. You do it all the time with baseball gloves. Vaseline helps condition the leather. The scratch marks are sort of still there, Vaseline just helps you not see them as much."

Sheer genius :-). I'm going to have to look up all the other ways you can use Vaseline one of these days. I figure that's a product that doesn't get all the recognition it deserves :-).
