Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't bleach ruin the leather?? If so, is there anything else that I can use on the couch to clean it, without damaging it? I personally don't care if it gets damaged, but that sofa is like my fathers prized possession and he'd kill me if I ruined it.

Bleach is corrosive to leather, and will turn the leather yellow and gummy.
I would use a leather-safe cleaner instead, and clean thoroughly. Murphy's Oil Soap is great, but if you don't have access to it, I've heard of using a tiny amount of dish soap - but then again, I've never tried the dish soap. I use the oil soap on my boots, which are leather.
When using a new leather cleaner, make sure to always test it on a small area first where it won't be seen if things go horribly wrong.
I hope Xander recovers as soon as possible!
