We recently had a customer experiencing a discolored spot on the seat bottom cushion of their leather sofa. Their leather was very high quality and they didn't immediately know the cause of the damage. They did have children and we made an educated guess that this may have been the result of chlorine. As it turned out their children had been swimming several times at a neighbor's home and had apparently sat on the sofa in wet swimwear afterward, thereby causing the discoloration. We were able to redye and refinish their leather to the matching color, leaving it looking like new.
The moral of this story: As we move into the summer months, make sure your kids change before sitting down on your leather furniture if they've been swimming to avoid damage from pool chlorine. Or, at least keep the number of a leather repair company on hand...
