HOW to Clean a Leather Jacket at HOME (Best TIPS)
STEP 1: GATHER YOUR SUPPLIES
Before you start cleaning your leather jacket, it's important to gather all the supplies you will need. You will need a soft-bristled brush, a clean, damp cloth, leather cleaner or saddle soap, a leather conditioner, and a dry cloth.
STEP 2: REMOVE DIRT AND STAINS
The first step in cleaning your leather jacket is to remove any dirt or stains. Use the soft-bristled brush to gently brush away any dirt or debris on the surface of the jacket. For stubborn stains, use a clean, damp cloth and gently rub the stain in a circular motion until it lifts.
EXTRA TIP: TEST PRODUCTS BEFORE USE
Before using any leather cleaning product, it's important to test it on a small, inconspicuous area of the jacket first. Apply a small amount of the product to the area and wait 24 hours to see if there is any discoloration or damage to the leather. If there is no damage, it should be safe to use the product on the rest of the jacket. Testing the product beforehand can prevent any unwanted damage to your leather jacket.
STEP 3: APPLY LEATHER CLEANER
Next, apply the leather cleaner or saddle soap to a clean, damp cloth. Gently rub the cloth over the surface of the jacket in circular motions, being careful not to apply too much pressure. Make sure to clean the entire surface of the jacket, including the sleeves, pockets, and collar.
STEP 4: CONDITION THE LEATHER
After cleaning the jacket, it's important to condition the leather to keep it soft and supple. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to a clean, dry cloth, and rub it into the surface of the jacket in circular motions. Make sure to apply the conditioner evenly and to cover the entire surface of the jacket.
STEP 5: LET THE JACKET DRY
After conditioning the leather, let the jacket dry completely. Hang the jacket on a hanger or lay it flat on a clean, dry surface, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Allow the jacket to dry for at least 24 hours before wearing it.
