Getting Oil Stains out of Leather
Fresh stains from things such as blood and food can be
cleaned up quickly with a damp cloth. Stains from oil or
grease can be lifted by grinding ordinary blackboard chalk,
sprinkling the area, and leaving the powder on for a
twenty-four hour period. Resist the urge to rub the powder
in. After a sufficient time has past, simply use a leather
care brush to remove the powder. While fresh stains can be
treated and cleaned at home, ground-in stains should be
attended to by a professional cleaner who deals in leather.
Storing Leather
Remember that leather is a natural material and should
never be stored in plastic because it encourages the growth
of mildew and bacteria and will ruin the leather. Always
store leather in a cool, dry place away from heat. If the
leather item is a garment, store in a breathable bag.
Wet Leather
An important key to keeping leather in top-notch condition
is to treat wet leather before it has a chance to dry.
Remove any dirt, mud, or other stains with a cleaning
agent, then condition while the pores are still fully
responsive. It is critical to remember that leather should
be dried away from heat. If the leather in question is a
garment, it's a good idea to stuff the garment to retain
shape.
Conditioning
Leather conditioners are meant for occasional use. They
contain fats and/or oils that help lubricate leather and
replenish the suppleness. Look for a product that will
penetrate the strong fibers in leather, but beware of any
that include petroleum or mineral oils. While petroleum
by-products won't damage your leather immediately, they do
over a period of time. Again, just as with cleaning, keep
on the look out for thick, greasy conditioning treatments
for the best care of your leather.
