How to Clean Leather
Our homes are full of leather items including: Shoes, boots, bags, briefcases, furniture, coats, jackets, biker gear, and more. So, knowing how to clean leather properly will enable all your leather goods, to stay in service, looking good, for many more years.
Have a look at your leather goods, and notice any scratches, stains or faded areas. Just use these techniques and watch the signs of wear and tear disappear…
How to Clean Leather
- buy a tin of saddle soap or leather cleaner from the shoe repair shop or hardware shop. Renapur is a good brand which you can also buy online
- Test the product on the underside, or a hidden area first to make sure there is no colour bleed using it. If you see any colour bleeding, stop straightaway and call a professional for advice.
- If everything looks fine with the spot test, then apply it over the item with a slightly damp piece of kitchen roll and then wipe it clean with a new piece of damp tissue roll.
- Allow it to dry naturally – don’t put it on the radiator, or the leather will dry out and could crack.
- Finally, apply a leather cream or conditioner like Renapur if it is untreated leather. For patent leather and shiny handbags, use a little squirt of Mr Sheen!
