01Gather the Necessary Supplies

  • Soft cloth or sponge
  • Leather cleaner or mild soap
  • Distilled water
  • Leather conditioner
  • Lint-free cloth

02Preparation

  • Find a well-ventilated area to clean your leather jacket.
  • Remove any dirt, dust, or debris from the surface using a soft cloth or sponge.
  • Test the leather cleaner or mild soap on a small, inconspicuous area of the jacket to ensure it doesn't cause any discoloration or damage.

03Cleaning the Jacket

  • Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with distilled water and gently wipe down the entire surface of the leather jacket to remove any remaining dirt or soap residue.
  • Apply a small amount of leather cleaner or mild soap to the cloth or sponge and gently clean the jacket using circular motions.
  • Pay extra attention to areas with stains or spills, and gently scrub them using a soft bristle brush.
  • Rinse the cloth or sponge with clean water and wipe away any excess cleaner or soap from the jacket.
  • Use a clean, lint-free cloth to gently dry the jacket and remove any remaining moisture.

04Conditioning the Leather

  • Once the jacket is completely dry, apply a small amount of leather conditioner to a clean cloth.
  • Gently rub the conditioner onto the surface of the leather using circular motions, ensuring even coverage.
  • Allow the conditioner to penetrate the leather for the recommended amount of time specified on the product.
  • Use a clean cloth to wipe away any excess conditioner and buff the leather to a soft, lustrous finish.

05Storing the Jacket

  • Store your leather jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Avoid hanging the jacket on a hook or wire hanger, as it can cause the leather to lose its shape. Instead, use a padded hanger or keep it in a breathable garment bag.
  • Periodically check your jacket for any signs of mold, mildew, or moisture damage. If necessary, use a leather cleaner and conditioner to remove any stains or restore the leather.
