Moisturizing soap is best for cleaning a leather couch. A more natural soap is free from oils, and works better on leather furniture.

You should first test a small area to ensure that soap is totally safe for your leather couch and will not discolor it. Once your soap passes this test, you can use it for the entire sofa. You should place liquid soap in a wet washcloth and allow the gentle soap to slowly penetrate into the wash cloth. Now you should rub the wash cloth gently into the furniture, making sure that overwhelming amount of water is not used on the couch because this can damage the couch if it is of real leather. Once the leather couch is thoroughly clean, you should wipe off excess soap and clean off any excess water from the leather surface.

You should then dry off the leather couch using a absorbent towel as this will ensure that all the soap has been discarded off.
