Noonan Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Someone spilled tomato ketchup on my 70's original Sheepskin coat, outer (natural type) is there anything I can do? Or is there a good cleaner in the area who will do a good job?

Twirly Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Related query - I've got a lovely black leather handbag that's got a bit scuffed. It's still structurally sound (amazingly, as it's at least 4 years old and has been heavily used) and is very soft leather (almost as soft as glove leather). But it looks grey rather than black in places.How can I restore the blackness, without using shoe polish as I'm worried that it'll end up on my clothes?

charles26 Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Cleaning leather : damp cloth then leather cream to buff. As for the handbag, you could try black spray paint if the areas are small, permanent marker... i only make these suggestions as you were thinking about using shoe polish but only avoided it through fear of it getting all over your clothes!

Saffron Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Spray point will likely crack with time. Have you asked about a professional restoration? Otherwise, what about using a leather conditioner on the handbag? The grayish appearance may be b/c the leather is dry. A leather conditioner would improve this.To the OP, how did your chairs turn out? What method did you use?

ibilly99 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Cowhide is similar to leather - this seems to confirm to use Dove soap and don't use saddle soap.http://www.cowhiderugs.co.uk/cleaning-a-cowhide-rug-or-cowhide-skin-carpet/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17000-how-to-clean-leather/#findComment-520121 Share on other sites More sharing options...
