Cleaning Mildew From Leather

Cleaning Mildew From Leather - Video Tip

The video below gives tips for cleaning mildew from leather, such as a leather jacket.

She suggests mixing a solution of 1 part rubbing alcohol and 1 part water and rubbing this solution onto the mildewed area of the leather.

Next, let the leather dry naturally.

Finally, apply a leather conditioner to the leather to keep it soft and supple.

In addition, the video gives suggestions for removing ink stains from leather, but I do not like those instructions quite as much.

The reason is that she suggests spraying hair spray on the leather, but I believe that this does not help. The active ingredient in the hair spray which can help remove ink stains is alcohol, since it is a solvent that dissolves many types of ink.

Why spray hairspray on an item, with all the additional ingredients, including glue and resin, onto the leather when you can just dab alcohol on the leather for the same result?

Here is the video for a full explanation of her leather cleaning tips:
