They should have leather cleaner and care products. Leather usually cleans up beautifully. Great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cleaning-thrifted-leather#post-82778 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:45:14 +0000 Stylin 82778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks LE.</p> <p>Is there a DIY way of doing this? Products I can use at home? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cleaning-thrifted-leather#post-82776 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:31:08 +0000 Anonymous 82776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ask around or try a phone book for leather cleaners. Some dry cleaners will do leather, but you will have the best luck if you have a referral. Look online for reviews, ask for references, and you'll have your jacket clean in no time!</p> <p>If you call different cleaners, make sure to specify the type of leather: suede, if there is a "polish" or patent quality, etc. to ask for an estimate. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cleaning-thrifted-leather#post-82775 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 18:26:27 +0000 Stylin 82775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>I thrifted a knee-length black leather coat with a defined waist :)<br /> This is my first thrifted leather item and I have no idea how to clean it. It is in good condition, has no stains or marks but I would like to clean it before I wear it. Any suggestions or ideas? </p>
