Nothing is more frustrating than to find that your cat has used your beautiful leather sofa for a scratching post. Depending upon the severity of the damage, there are a few tricks you can try to lessen the unsightly marks. Step 1 If the scratches are severe, the only way to fully restore the leather is leather repair by a professional. Cost can vary greatly, so unless the scratches are extremely bad and are in an obvious and noticeable place, you might want to consider trying a few temporary remedies to minimize the appearance of the damage. If the damage isn’t severe or is in an out of the way area on the furniture, you will definitely find it cheaper to use one of the temporary methods. Step 2 For minor surface scratches, try applying Old English furniture polish directly on the scratch and work it in with a circular motion, using a soft cloth. This might reduce the appearance of the scratch once it has fully dried. You will need to reapply the polish periodically, as it wears off.
