We recently acquired a suite of leather furniture. How permanent is the aftermath of farting into fine leather?
Extensive research only came up with this from answers to much the same question on Yahoo
I am not entirely sure what happens when leather dissenigrates but it doesn’t sound good.
And after that effort the poor cow did to keep it all nice and clean!
This sounds like one for Mythbusters.
If you don’t fart into the entire suite of leather furniture, you will no longer have a matched set.
Since I doubt there have been extensive scientific studies on this important question, and the ratio of jokes to factual answers will be excessively high, let’s move this over to IMHO.

Was the farter nekkid at the time?
I had a cow skin rug. It got all kinda badness on it. Pets, kids s one grown up guy eho hasmt fogired out how to hold a beer. I cleaned it with saddle soap.
My parents had a leather & wood living room set from Ethan Allen, all of which held up pretty well for a couple of decades. Except for one panel on the sofa’s seat.
Are you feeling ok?
oh, Sunny you’re so sweet to ask. I’m not sure what happened there. I’m fine. Lots of people around.
Good.

Don’t imbibe.
I’m afraid to ask for clarification - because I’m sure I’ll regret this - but what evidence, exactly, has the O.P. left behind?
Are we talking, like, a stench cloud? Or has this moved into the realm of solid remains?
Did you shart?
Oh, no, nothing like a frathouse competitive leg-lift trumpet blast in hopes of emptying a room. Just your average old lady fweeeeeep that sneaks out on occasion. I’ve never had really nice furniture, so I don’t know about its care. I also worry about perspiration, but I didn’t just burst into a layer of sweat, so I wasn’t thinking about that.
Since it’s been a couple of days now, have you had the opportunity (preferably when no one else is in the room) of sticking your nose close to the seat and taking a good whiff, to see if any lingering scent remains?
Short of some scientific instrument that detects fart molecules (do they make those? I’m sure there’d be a demand for them), I’m not sure how else you would tell.
I’m married to one of those. Might need recalibration, though - can’t seem to detect those emanating from the instrument itself.

I have leather furniture and I fart for a living. No problems with the leather.
Is there much money in that? What about job security?
