How do you remove nail scratches on a genuine leather couch?

A black, genuine leather couch that has some scratches because of my dogs. Any ways of getting them out?How do you remove nail scratches on a genuine leather couch?
Try black shoe polish, it is made for leather. smear it on using finger or a wet cotton ball. Leave for minute, then wipe off with soft rag or pair of old nylons. May need to repeat depending on scratch. First try on a section you cannot see as well.





I use this for my leather coat, and scratches to my wood furniture. Works great!How do you remove nail scratches on a genuine leather couch?
The pigment on the leather has been scratched. Olive oil will not repair scratches and may make them unfixable.


Shoe polish will come off on your clothing so should not be used.





If the scratches are only surface scratches and the pigment has not been torn you can try Easy Colour which is easy to apply and will not come off on clothing. If the scratches are deeper you will need a pigment touch up mixed to match your leather and then this can be used to colour in and seal the damged areas. Adding oils will mean that the new pigments will not stick to the leather





Hope this helps
Rub it with some olive oil.
