If the microfiber cloth gets too wet while you’re drying off the furniture, use a fresh, dry towel.
Test the conditioner out on an inconspicuous area of the furniture before applying it to the entire piece.
Blotting the spill should help draw up any liquid or matter that has already started to set into the leather.

The water and cloth will clean away any stickiness left from the liquid.
Don’t use this method on darker pieces, as the lemon juice could lighten the leather.
