How to Clean Leather

Leather Cleaning Tips:

Leather is notoriously hard to clean. You aren’t supposed to get it wet, so how can you possibly clean it. We spend enormous sums of money in order to get a new leather jacket or leather sofa, but the first time it gets dirty, it is often considered ruined. Leather is a very expensive natural product, so when a leather good acquires a stain it would be nice to be able to clean it yourself. After all you already spent a bunch of money on the leather, so you probably don’t want to spend more to clean it. Many people resort to calling in a specialist or cleaning company to return their leather to it’s former glory.

Cleaning leather yourself is thought to be risky. Traditional leather cleaners are very testy and are prone to causing more damage than good. It is often advised to test the cleaner on a small non-noticeable spot before cleaning the affected area of leather. This is because the chemical compounds in leather cleaner can discolor, remove color, or otherwise damage your leather product. Home-made remedies include using windex, nail polish remover, hair spray and toothpaste. These methods don’t usually work that well and I don’t think I would want to spray windex on my couch.

Is there any way to disinfect leather? At our facility we use 10% clorox solution to disinfect many things….not the leather though. What can we use to disinfect a leather couch?
