Homemade Leather Shoe Cleaner
For regular cleaning: Mix equal amounts of white vinegar and olive oil or beeswax. Apply a small amount on the shoes or belt. Let the concoction sit for a couple of minutes before buffing it with a soft cloth or chamois.
Avoid using harsh chemicals
Most alcohol-based cleaners aren't safe for leather upholstery. Using a window cleaner or a regular disinfectant will strip your leather it of its natural oils, drying and hardening these surfaces.
Never use ammonia or bleach-based products, as they're too harsh and can damage leather's natural finish. Water should also be used very sparingly when cleaning, because too much liquid can cause stains of its own. Be sure to use only damp (rather than fully saturated or dripping) cleaning cloths.
Here's how to clean leather car seats so that they look great and last a long time. First, vacuum the seats, being careful to remove dirt and debris from the crevices. Next, apply a cleaning solution to the seats. Do not use bleach or ammonia-based cleaners as they can damage the leather.
Apply leather conditioner to protect from stains and add shine. You can buy a commercial leather conditioner or make your own by mixing 1 part vinegar to 2 parts linseed oil. Apply to leather, let sit for about 15 minutes and buff with a soft cloth until the leather shines.
For stubborn stains
If the stain persists, try blotting with a towel dipped in a mixture of water and a mild dish soap (like Palmolive or Dawn). Be sure to blot gently; scrubbing rigorously can cause permanent damage to the leather.
You should not use Windex on leather. It will ruin your leather product because it usually contains alcohol. Alcohol will dry out your leather, eventually making it unusable.
If you do not want to use a commercial product, you can make your own leather conditioner. Add one part vinegar with two parts linseed oil--or if you do not want to use linseed oil you can substitute virgin olive oil.
The best way to remember what you can and can't use on your leather is to keep this in mind: The two most commonly used chemicals that will cause severe damage to your leather are alcohol and acetone. Stay away from products that contain these substances at all costs, regardless of what you read online.
While most people associate Murphy Oil Soap with cleaning wooden surfaces such as floors and furniture, the soap is also safe for use on other household surfaces, including garments like leather.
