Removing stains from a leather jacket

If you find a stain on your jacket, then immediately get down to business, as it is much easier to remove a fresh stain than a stain that has already been on your light jacket for several weeks.

Important! Basically, among people there is an opinion that such pollution can be removed with expensive special means, which are usually not at hand, but in practice this is not entirely true. It all depends on the nature of the origin of your spot.

There are many ways to clean a leather jacket. Basically, the methods differ depending on how much the leather coat is soiled. Let's look at some types of stains, and possible remedies to eliminate them.

Ink:

1. Small traces of ink can be removed with diluted medical alcohol or slightly warmed glycerin. For application, you need to take a cotton swab and moisten it with one of the means.
2. Salt can also do quite well with this task, while the process of cleaning a leather jacket will drag on for a couple of days, because first you need to pour salt on the jacket area with a stain, leave it like that for a couple of days. Then the salt is cleaned from the jacket with a rag, which should be moistened in turpentine.
   

Greasy spots

You can quickly remove the greasy stain, which catches your eye, with a napkin and hair dryer. Place a few napkins on a greasy spot, and then heat the spot with a hairdryer. Why does this help? The napkin can easily absorb fat if it is heated to the desired temperature.

Important! The advantage of this method is that you can easily adjust the temperature of the air flow. This means that you should not worry about overheating of the material.

Other options:

1. It will also help to cope with such a stain and standard medical alcohol or glycerin soap. They rub directly the place of pollution.
2. For some cases, the most common starch is suitable, which must be mixed with cold water to a thick state. Then spread this thick mass at the place of contamination for 10-20 minutes, rinse it and treat this place with glycerin.

Blood

The most difficult spot to remove is blood, which must be removed immediately after it appears.

1. The easiest way is to treat a leather jacket at home with soapy water. But only in no case can you use a hot solution for this. From this, blood proteins coagulate and it will be much more difficult to remove pollution.
2. Hydrogen peroxide also does a good job of this task, but since it is an active substance, try to process the least noticeable places of the jacket first.

Important! Hydrogen peroxide can discolour the material of your jacket, which is why try to process the thing more accurately. Overdo the dose at least a little and the jacket can be used as “backup clothing."

Mold

It often happens that a leather jacket gathers dust in your closet for weeks. That is why mold spots may appear, which can be removed quite simply with a small can of refined gasoline. After processing, wipe the area with a damp cloth.

The unpleasant odor left from the refined gasoline is neutralized by a slice of lemon, which must first be cut in half and then walk it on the surface of your jacket. In conclusion, it is necessary to lubricate the place of the former contamination with any cream - special for leather material or at least what you use for your hands. This must be done because the acid from lemon overdries the base and the product may ultimately lose its strength and deform.

Important! Stains of animal or vegetable origin can be easily removed with stain removers that do not have special bleaches on their basis. They are easy to use, and their cost ranges from 1.5 to 3.5 $. The most popular stain remover is Spew Remover We strongly recommend purchasing it and keeping it in your arsenal.

If you are not sure that you can clean the leather jacket from dirt at home yourself, then it is worth contacting special services - dry cleaners.

Important! You should not leave your “leather case” for long-term storage in the closet without preliminary cleaning, otherwise you will have to either throw away the item in the near future or struggle for its cleanliness for a long time.
