Spots, Spills and Stains
Most liquids will initially be repelled by the leather but if left
standingover an extended period of time, will be absorbed.
Blot liquid immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth.
Butter, oil or grease spills should be wiped with a clean, dry cloth.
Spot should dissipate into the leather in a short period of time.
For stubborn stains and spills, use a cloth lightly dampened with
warmwater to blot the stain and removeit. If this does not work,
mix mild soapwith water, then blot to release the stain and blot
again with a dry cloth (avoid scrubbing).
Do not use harsh cleaners or solvents, as they can abrade the
finish or topcoat off the leather.
