1. How to Clean DIRTY Leather? General DIRT and FILTH

Chamberlain’s Leather Cleaning Advice

1. With distilled water, rub it down with a soft cloth. Spray inside and outside evenly and then let it dry.

2. Maybe a dab of baby shampoo. Baby shampoo is gentle and nicely PH balanced. Remember, you’re dealing with skin. I personally use Chamberlain’s Leather Milk Straight Cleaner if it’s really dirty.

3. Condition with Chamberlain’s Leather Milk Conditioner to restore the moisture.

2. How to Clean STICKY Leather? SAP, TAR, GUM

Chamberlain’s Leather Cleaning Advice

1. If it’s a small leather piece, put it in the freezer and let it get nice and hard and then chip off the gunk. Do this several times.

2. If it’s too big to get into the fridge, then put a bag of ice on it to harden the gunk and then pick it off when it’s hard.

3. Then rub it with a general leather cleaner and conditioner. You can do that with books that get really wet too. Put the book in the freezer and shake the ice out of the pages.

Goof Off is great for removing sticky marks on leather. But be careful since it can clog the pores of the leather. Depending on the quality of the leather finish on your sofa, WD-40 can also clean off gunk, but it can dissolve wax and the dye leading to further damage, like hardening and cracking over time if not conditioned and the oils replenished after the cleaning.

3. How to Clean WAX or CRAYON from Leather?

Chamberlain’s Leather Cleaning Advice

Wax or Crayon – Lay brown paper bag or paper towel on the wax and then a hot iron on top of that over and over again. Or, put it in the freezer or put a bag of ice on it and then chip off the wax. You’ll have a spot where the wax used to be, so do the oil and grease treatment to perfect it. You can try WD 40 first and then clean the leather again if it leaves an oily mark and nothing else is working.

8. Hot water rinse the leather again.

9. Dry quickly to avoid water stains on the leather. Put it directly in front of a fan or use a blow dryer, but not with veg tanned leather. Dry veg tanned leather at room temperature.

Chamberlain’s Leather Cleaning Advice

SERVPRO’s Leather Cleaning Advice

Some people are allergic to mold and others have a high tolerance. Different people will react in their own way. When cleaning mold, we recommend going outdoors. When the spores are disturbed, they will fly into the air and it’s better for them to fly outdoors than into your carpet and air duct system.

1. Use a damp towel (regular water) to get as much of the contaminant off the leather.
2. Lightly put some hydrogen peroxide onto a new towel and use it to wipe off the leather. It’ll foam when it reacts with the mold. The reaction is caused by rapid oxidation which causes the mold to decompose. The foaming action helps lift the mold off the leather and makes it easier to clean. This may cause bleaching, so this should be tested in an inconspicuous spot first. Over the counter hydrogen peroxide has the lowest incidence of this. If you use janitorial grade or laboratorial rate hydrogen peroxide, then bleaching will likely happen and you should definitely use chemical resistant gloves. We recommend the regular OTC to clean leather. If the hydrogen peroxide works well, you can continue with the rest of the leather.
3. Dry the leather.
4. Moisturize the leather with a good leather conditioner.

On a professional level, we use the Esporta to clean mold-infested leather items. Our first step is to clean leather with pro-grade Concrobium (buy here).

5. How to Clean GAS, DIESEL, or KEROSENE from Leather?

SERVPRO’s Leather Cleaning Advice

1. Do this in a ventilated area. Use a fan. Remove excess liquids by blotting the leather with a towel. Use protective, liquid resistant gloves (Nitrile gloves are great).

2. Use Ultra Content Cleaner or Shampoo Super Concentrate and flush the leather area with the detergent cleaner.

3. Agitate with a soft bristled brush or sponge.

4. Rinse with hot water.

5. Dry with a blow dryer or fan.

Moisturize once dry with a quality Leather Conditioner.

6. How to Clean BIRD, RAT OR HUMAN DROPPINGS From Leather?

SERVPRO’s Leather Cleaning Advice

Due to the hazardous nature of these types of animal droppings, professional leather cleaning is recommended. Did you know that some leather in Morocco is traditionally tanned with pigeon poop?

7. How to Clean PEPPER SPRAY, MACE or TEAR GAS from Leather?

SERVPRO’s Leather Cleaning Advice

The age old problem of bad guys, how to clean Mace or Pepper Spray off your leather after a date?

These are guides to clean leather from any of the following three (3) types of tear gas. CN (Chloroacetophenone or Mace), OC/OR (Oleoresin capsicum or Pepper Spray), and CS (O-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile).

We recommend getting your leather professionally cleaned from this material. A professional restoration company should call a Certified Industrial Hygienist to verify their work by testing the surface of the leather post-cleaning and ensure that no harmful residue is left behind. The steps below are what a professional restoration company would do to clean leather:

CN/OC

1. Mix proprietary carpet and upholstery cleaning chemical with rubbing alcohol and warm water.

2. Wet area of leather with mixtures.

3. Hot water rinse / extract.

5. Moisturize with Leather Conditioner

CS

1. Mix proprietary blood and stain remover with warm water.

2. Spray mixture onto leather. Allow a dwell time of 30 minutes.

3. How water extract.

4. Dry clean leather.

5. Moisturize with a Leather Conditioner

8. How to Clean PESTICIDES off Leather?

2. Hot water rinse.

3. Dry the now clean leather.

4. Moisturize the leather with a Leather Conditioner

9. How to Clean FIRE SMOKE and SOOT from Leather?

SERVPRO’s Leather Cleaning Advice

Washing the leather that’s covered with smoke and soot particles is not recommended because the agitation may cause the contaminants to embed themselves further into the leather, if it’s cheap leather. But…

For consumers, we recommend using a dry-chemical sponge to wipe the leather. Start from one end and wipe the sponge to the other end. The sponge will pick up the particles and start to turn gray/black. Once the sponge is dirty, use another one. Repeat all over the leather until the dry-chemical sponge stays clean after wiping the leather clean.

If the sponge isn’t picking up any more soot but the leather still smells, we recommend ozone treatment.

We prefer these dry chemical sponges. They can be broken into pieces, so you can get a lot of great use out of just a few.

Note: Soot is acidic and will eventually cause a yellow-tinted discoloration if it’s left on textiles for an extended period of time. Leather is tougher and may last longer, but smoke and soot affected textiles and leather should be cleaned as quickly as possible.

10. How to Clean Leather from SALT WATER

Dave’s Unprofessional Advice

I took my leather bag shark diving on my honeymoon in Bora Bora and the divemaster told me to fill the tub with fresh water and soak it for a few hours. I let it dry overnight and then conditioned it when I got home. I later used it as my diaper bag for our two kids. It was chrome tanned leather, which saved it, but it softened my bag some. Do not do this with vegetable tanned leather (stiffer leather).

My leather satchel got saltwater spray all over it in heavy surf searching for whales off the coast of Gabon, Central Africa, recently and I cleaned the leather by wiping it with fresh water when I got back to shore. I just remembered this story and am going to condition the leather when I get home. I forgot.

11. How to Clean FIRE EXTINGUISHERS Stuff from Leather?

SERVPRO’s Leather Cleaning Advice

1. Vacuum to remove as much material. To vacuum, push vacuum down and then pick back up. Do not run back and forth because this will push the dust further into the leather.

2. If needed, beat the surface with a brush.

3. Clean using Orange Plus.

4. Rinse leather with distilled water.

5. Dry with a blow dryer or with a fan.

6. Moisturize with Leather Conditioner
