How to Cover Up Cat Scratches on a Leather Couch
- 1). Clean the area of the couch you are going to cover up. Review your couch manufacturer's tips for grades of cleaner to use as some can be too harsh for your grain of leather. Allow the couch to dry as instructed on the leather cleaner instructions.
- 2). Don your protective eye wear and position your drawing arm near the scratch you want to cover up. Carefully apply the color to the scratch using a smooth, even stroke. If necessary, blend the color over a larger portion of the couch with light-handed coloring for an inch or more around the scratched area.
- 3). Allow the color to dry undisturbed. Keep the couch off-limits for the period of time described in the leather marker usage directions.
- 4). Apply leather conditioner to your couch to restore its suppleness. The washing and coloring works to dry leather surfaces.
