Cleaning Leather by Hand

• 1). Brush off surface dirt and debris from the leather.
  
  
• 2). Wipe the leather object with a damp cloth.
  
  
• 3). Rub the leather with a cake of organic and natural saddle soap. Soap the leather evenly from one end to the other in a smooth stroke.
  
  
• 4). Dry the leather with shaping in mind. For reins or loose leather fabrics, hang the material carefully to dry. Hang the material over a chair or table at full length. Avoid drooping the material from a nail or hook, which will stretch out the leather and weaken it.
  
  

Cleaning Leather Using a Wetcleaning Machine

• 1). Place leather garments in a special wetcleaning washer. Add specially formulated natural and organic cleaning agents. (Note: You must be trained to operate a wetcleaning machine.)
  
  
• 2). Hang the garments to dry while they are still wet. Leave them to dry flat or put them on a clothes hanger overnight.
  
  
• 3). Load the materials into a tumble dryer with a stainless steel reversing basket and finishing programs.
  
  
• 4). Program the temperature control to the lowest heat setting. Tumble dry for a few minutes until the garments are light and fluffy.
  
  
• 5). Finish and press the garments with steam and air in the machine.
