Question Cleaning A Leather Sofa?

Whats the best way to clean a leather sofa?

Its soft brown Italian leather and has just been "broken in"
Just want to clean it and get rid of a few small scratches. Don't want to make it look like showroom condition.

Anyone got any good tips or name a few products i should consider?

Ta Dicke C.......
