How can i clean my leather jacket?
Hi George , ,While soap and water works fine on some upholstery leathers, it can damage other types beyond repair. For simple touchups, you can use a light cloth and a light spray cleaner to get the dust off the shell of the jacket. Most of the spray cleaners that are advertised as being fine for leather do not contain a water base, so you will be safe. If your leather jacket needs a more robust cleaning, your best bet is to take it to a dry cleaner for a professional cleaning. Leather jackets will vary a little in the look and feel, again based on the type of leather used. Brushed leather can be cleaned effectively with the use of a mohair brush, or even an old-fashioned shoe brush. Processed leather, such as the type used for motorcycle and aviation jackets, may do fine with soap and water. Good luck.
