If the leather cannot be completely
cleaned using a mild soap and
water solution, the leather may
cleaned using a commercially
available cleaning product
ªTanners Preserve Leather
Cleanerº and a 3M ªType T'
scrubbing pad by using the
following steps;
The type of scrubbing pad is
very critical because the
common 3M ªScotch Briteº
green pad is too aggressive and
will damage the leather surface
²Spray a small amount of the
leather cleaner on the pad and
rub the area to be cleaned with
the pad using a circular motion.
Only clean 1/4 of the area at a
time. For heavily soiled areas,
spray the cleaner directly onto
the leather (two squirts should
be adequate) and rub with the
pad. Repeat if necessary.
²Use a soft, damp cloth to
remove the loosened dirt and
foam.
²Dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use household cleaners,
glass cleaner, alcohol solutions
or cleaner intended for vinyl,
rubber or plastics. These
products can damage the
leather.
In some instances, color or dye
transfer can occur when wet
clothing (wool, denim, leathers
or other non-colorfast
garments) comes in contact
