How do I reduce the squeaking of my faux leather sofa? (lemmy.world)

I've got a (faux) leather sofa (not sure how to tell difference). Sitting on it or moving around makes the leather rub together and squeak a LOT. It wouldn't bother me but I live in an upstairs flat so I get paranoid if it's late at night and I move on the sofa it's "CREEESQUEEEEEEEUUUURRRR".

I've heard you can use vaseline but having tried it on a small part it didn't help. I've also covered the sofa in sheets but there's always small parts that make contact and squeak a ton.,

Any advice?

try cleaning a small section with isopropyl alcohol (don't reuse Vaseline site)
