Cleaning Leather with Oil and Vinegar
Here's how to prepare a homemade leather cleaner using the oil and vinegar method:
- Preparation:
- Mix 1/2 cup of olive oil with 1/4 cup of vinegar in a spray bottle.
- Application:
- Spritz the mixture onto the stained area of the leather.
- Allow the solution to sit for five minutes.
- Cleaning:
- Wipe the area clean with a soft cloth.
Important Considerations:
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use bleach or ammonia-based cleaners on leather, as they can cause damage.
