I am about to purchase a leather sofa, love seat, chair, and ottoman and want to know if it is worth purchasing the protection program with these items. The sales guy said that I get a free supply of silicon cleaner/protector for the lifetime of the items purchased. I think it runs about $40 per piece and they give you containers that have the liquid in it. Anytime I am running out I take it back up there and get a refill. Just wondering if you guys/gals have had any experience with this. I am buying this from Rooms To Go.
Thanks,
Paul |

I am unsure (forgot to ask) but he added it automatically and when I asked him about it he stated 'you will definitely want this with it being leather' and then went on to demo the stuff. I am going back in a little while and will definitely ask about the damage or stains. |

I would say no on the protection package. We have had leather furniture for the past 40 years and are perfectly capable of taking care of it ourselves. They are several very good leather care products on the market.
To see what is available in your area go to your nearest horse tack dealer. (Notice I did not say go to an auto parts store.) Horse tack people have taken care of fine leathers for many, many decades. Talk to the people there and find out who seems to be the most knowledgeable. You may have to visit more than one store to find a clerk with whom you are most comfortable.
Lexol and Farnum are two brand names that immediately come to mind.
If you have any friends that have horses they can show you/tell you about products that they may have.
Enjoy your new furniture.

| Get the protection ! (only if you are routinely in the habit of throwing away money). My two leather 12 year old sofas are mint with young kids climbing all over them, a simple wipe down with a damp cloth (recommended by Chrysler for the 300C btw) is all they get. Lexol is a great product than I use on my cars but my sofas have never once had any "treatment". I think they last so well b/c they do not have temp extremes and no UV exposure. |

You reaching the point in the sofa's life that they need oil added!
The inside atmosphere of an air conditioned house tends to dry out leather. I got careless once and let a leather chair start to dry out. Got on it and added oil, but you can see to this day an area that is not up to par. That chair is now 40 years old.

| Good points but they are going as wifey feels that they are too cold to the touch, they'll be donated someplace for a hefty tax deduction. |
