Leather or Suede

Follow these steps to remove red stains from leather or suede:

• Gently remove excess.
• Mix a solution of mild soap in lukewarm water.
• Swish to create a great volume of suds. Apply only the foam with a sponge.
• Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
• If a greasy or oily stain remains, powder it with an absorbent such as cornmeal. Give it plenty of time to work.
• Gently brush (the method of using a stiff-bristled brush to sweep staining material up onto a piece of paper) or shake the absorbent from the surface. Repeat if necessary.
• On leather only, follow with cleaners such as Tannery Vintage Leather Cleaner & Conditioner or Fiebing's Saddle Soap to condition the leather.
