    I am thrilled to have found a rememdy to remove stains from leather..!!! My darling husband spilt apple juice on my expensive red leather hanbag ! I was distraught..thinking nothing would work...the stains were dark and had been left overnight..the next morning I found a method from a free internet site.. here goes ...gently rub the area with tepid water using a sponge..do this until it looks saturated..then rub the area with bread...repeat the process until you see the stain dispersing...water bread..water bread..let it dry naturally ..or you can use a hairdryer gently over the area...the stain is gone ! you might have to repeat this process a few times ...it took me over half an hour to remeove a pea sized stain..but I'm so happy with the results!!! Hope this helps ...Good Luck

    DO not use household products for cleaning leather as they will almost certainly damage the finish on the leather which will lead to long term problems. Magic Erasers are fine sandpaper and will remove the finish. Household prodcuts cause more damage than anything else on leather - always use a good brand leather cleaner and protector to keep your leather in good condition.

    Purchased a pigskin couch/love seat, and chair set about 2 years ago, and now it is discoloured, and stained. I have searched online for an answer, to no avail. Anyone with expertise on cleaning pigskin furniture?

    I had just gotten a new, soft off-white, leather bag and the dye from my dark denim's stained an entire side of it. I brought it to a shoe maker/leather repair store but they said there was nothing they could do. Any suggestions?! Im desperate!

    Tough stain - We had a red stain on our off-white leather sofa, originating from colored paper that had gotten wet. Somebody sat on it and rubbed it in. We tried everything: Soap, Alcohol, Cerabryte. Tried all of them in an innocuous spot first. Be careful: Aceton (Nail Polish Remover will damage your leather!). Finally we were able to get it off with bleach and quite a bit of rubbing. Be sure to try it out first, I thing it will discolor strongly dyed leathers.

    Use a mild leather soap. Rinse in 3 parts water, one part vinegar and add an egg yolk to the rinse water. Let air dry. The gloves remain supple due to the egg yolk. I have used this on very expensive pigskin riding gloves from Germany with excellent results.

    It is important to maintain the integrity of your leather. Never use abrasive cleaning methods, such as an SOS pads. This product could obviously damage the protective finish found on most leathers. Professional, water based cleaners are the most effective and safe cleaning products. I personally recommend Leather Master products.

    If you have a stain on leather, you can actually use an SOS Brillo pad and gently rub the spot. That will usually remove any stain. Then use mineral oil as a protectant and it will it to give it a true shine. We do restoration and remediation, trust me, it works.
