Fix Fake Leather Couch Peeling

Fake leather, also known as PU leather or vinyl, is a common and affordable alternative to genuine leather. It is often used to make furniture, clothing, and accessories. While fake leather is durable and easy to clean, it can sometimes peel or crack over time. This can be unsightly and frustrating. You can fix fake leather couch peeling with just a few supplies and a patience.

Gather your supplies

You will need the following supplies to fix fake leather couch peeling:

A clean cloth
A mild dish soap
A soft-bristled brush
A heat gun or hair dryer
A leather repair kit

Clean the couch

The first step is to clean the couch. This will remove any dirt or debris that may be preventing the repair kit from adhering to the fake leather.

Dampen a clean cloth with mild dish soap and water.
Wipe down the couch to remove any dirt or grime.
Rinse the cloth with clean water and wipe down the couch again to remove any soap residue.
Allow the couch to dry completely.

Heat the peeling area

Once the couch is clean, you need to heat the peeling area. This will help to soften the fake leather and make it more pliable.

Set the heat gun or hair dryer to a low setting.
Hold the heat gun or hair dryer about 6 inches away from the peeling area.
Move the heat gun or hair dryer back and forth over the peeling area for about 30 seconds.

Apply the leather repair kit

Once the peeling area is heated, you can apply the leather repair kit.

Follow the instructions that came with the leather repair kit.
Apply a small amount of the repair compound to the peeling area.
Use a soft-bristled brush to blend the repair compound into the surrounding fake leather.
Allow the repair compound to dry completely.
