What Product Is Good to Clean Moccasins?

Moccasins are heavily associated with Native American tribes.

Taking care of your belongings can help extend the life of the things you own and also help them retain their value over time. Moccasins, which are made out of leather, need cleaning from time to time, and using a safe cleaning technique is important.

Leather Softener

Prior to cleaning your moccasins, you should use a leather softener. You can purchase leather softener at a local drug or hardware store. The leather softener will make your moccasins easy to handle and allow you to bend the leather easier to get dirt out of cracks and creases.

Leather Cleaner

You can purchase a leather cleaner from a local drug or hardware store. If your moccasins are dry, you should make a solution with the leather cleaner that is 25 percent water. Using a clean cloth, apply the leather cleaner to your moccasins to remove the surface dirt.

Saddle Soap

After the leather cleaner, you should use a sponge and some saddle soap to clean the stains out of the moccasins. Work up a lather on the sponge and use a circular motion while cleaning. While you clean, use a cloth to remove dirt as it comes up.

Weatherproofing

After cleaning your moccasins, you should also apply weatherproofing, which will help keep your moccasins clean and make cleaning them easier the next time. You can purchase a leather weatherproofing solution from a local hardware or drug store. Apply the weatherproofing to the entire moccasin, including the soles. Let the moccasins dry overnight before you wear them again.
