Removing stains on Leather Jacket
Leather jackets can sometimes be a pain to take care of. They are heavy and hard to maneuver so they often end up sitting in our closets gathering dust. You have spent many hours or days, investing in this jacket which is why it’s important that it looks good and stays in great shape. Unfortunately, cleaning a leather jacket isn’t as easy as just throwing it in the washer and dryer. Leather is a delicate material and needs to be treated and cleaned properly. Here are some tips on how to clean leather jacket.
Remove Stains
If you’re looking for how to clean a leather jacket first you will need to remove all of the extra stains and tears that may have occurred over time. This includes stains from mud, sweat, and any spills that you may have accidentally made while cleaning the jacket.
Use a mild detergent or soap to get the stains out. Be careful not to scrub the jacket too much as this will cause it to lose its shape and get discolored. You may want to try using soapy water if you have very dirty patches, as it is also quite effective in cleaning a jacket without making it too dirty.
If the stains still aren’t taken care of then you may need to add a little liquid detergent to the soapy water to help you get those tough stains out. Apply the soap and allow it to soak for about 10 minutes. Then thoroughly rinse the jacket with warm, clean water. Never use harsh detergent or soap as this will further damage the jacket. Cleaning a leather jacket once or twice a year is the best way to ensure it stays in great condition for years to come.
