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.
  • Test in an Inconspicuous Area: Before applying any cleaning solution to the entire surface, test it on a small, hidden area first to make sure it doesn't discolor or damage the leather.
