How do you remove scuff marks from leather car seats?

What can you do to get rid of scuff marks on leather car seats? My kids love to put their feet up on the back seats, now I've got scuffs all over the place.

“Leather seats can be a pain to deal with. Fortunately, scuff marks in leather are a pretty easy fix, as they are only surface level.
Getting rid of scuff marks isn’t much different than cleaning up any other mess. Here’s how to make your seats look new again:
  • Mix two tablespoons of baking soda with one tablespoon of water. Do so in a small, easy-to-carry dish.
  • Dip a soft cloth in the mixture. Be sure to only get a little bit on the cloth. You won’t need much!
  • Wipe the paste into the scuff mark. Scrub it in circular motions until the scuff mark comes out.
  • Rinse off the excess paste. Use a damp towel since too much moisture can discolor leather.
  • Wipe dry. Use a soft towel to avoid scratches.
While wear and tear like scuff marks will not typically be covered by your insurance, more serious damage to your interior might be. Read through the details of your
comprehensive coverage
to find out when you are and are not covered in cases where damage was caused by a non-collision incident.
