What To Look For In A Leather Cleaner

It can be tough to decide on the right leather cleaner

, but dont despair. There are some out there that can do the job and more without too much trouble.

You want to look for a cleanser that is specifically made for taking stains and dirt off items, accessories, or objects made of leather, vinyl, and plastic. Try one that comes in foam. Check and see what kinds of chemicals it contains and leave behind those with more toxic and environmentally unfriendly substances, including VOCs (otherwise known as volatile organic compounds). You dont need them to clean. And you dont want to share your space with them either.

Note that such a cleaner can often be used on a wide variety of missions. If youre looking for something to take with you on that road trip in your all-terrain vehicle, boat or camper, then double check that it will fit the bill as an interior cleaner.

Often, these products also provide some sort of added protection. They contain a formula that helps repel dust and dirt, keeping it from sticking around. This is always a handy addition.

Before you let loose with any leather cleaner, its a good idea to test a bit on an inside or other less noticeable surface. Its better to be safe than sorry.

Once youve determined that your product is good to go, simply use a small squirt and wipe it off with a clean, damp cloth. Make sure not to leave any product on leather for any length of time, unless directed.

An important thing to remember is that most leather and vinyl surfaces react better to more consistent cleaning, especially in the case of hard to remove fingerprints and stains. The longer it sits, the harder youll have to work to remove it.

Take your cleaning task to the next level, by making a list of all the surfaces and items that are safe, with a column for those to test on your next mission, and leave it in a handy spot in the utility cupboard. That way if someone else wants to help out theyll be sure and choose the right product for the task. It also serves as a reminder for young folks in training, and for those whove purchased their own special leather items that need attention.

Cleaning and caring for your belongings can be a fun task, so prepare to have fun. Set up a station with some rags and the cleaner and throw on those tunes to get you in the mood to power through.

It also doesnt hurt to put the kettle on for a nice pot of tea or a special snack. It sure can make the time fly by quicker.

When it comes to finding the right leather cleaner, read the label as closely as you did that tag on that garment or recreational vehicle. And know that your investment will serve you well for a variety of sometimes delicate to clean surfaces. Happy cleaning!
