In front of my favourite chair there is a flat bit, where my heels touch the floor, that is slightly stained, flattened, and refuses to lift..... I'm blaming the various creams I've tried over the years - including dovobet/nex, salicilic acid and several emollients. My better half reckons my feet are too heavy and need to go on a diet.
We (that's my better half - Mrs. Kit - and me) have found that having me run a carpet shampooer over the affected area once or twice a month is beginning help as there are now definite signs of "carpet pile" recovery.... I know this doesn't help you with your specific issue - but I thought you'd appreciate knowing that you are not alone! Aside from that who the heck has a carpet shampooer anyway! Luckily, we do.
Good luck! If all else fails - Insurance?

Can't help with the leather staining, but Kit has a problem with flattened pile on his carpet, I have found that to lift the pile again, put ice cubes on it and let them melt and it should lift the pile ... sometimes you need to do it more than once
