stain, which is most visible on darkly colored leathers. The most efficient way to remove these
stains is a thorough cleaning and conditioning regimen. There is also a common substitute,
involving a touch of vinegar:
● Mix cold water with white, distilled vinegar in a bowl.
● Dab a lint-free cloth into the vinegar brew and gently dampen the salt stain.
● Dry up any residue and allow drying.
● After the leather has dried completely, follow up with a leather conditioner.

Generic stains can usually be treated with a simple cycle of cleaning and conditioning. If the
stain is fresh, gently blot up as much as you can with a slightly damp cloth (don’t rub or smear),
sooner rather than later. If you don't have a cleaner or conditioner handy, temporary cleaning
substitutes such as white, distilled vinegar or rubbing alcohol may serve as substitutes, so long
as they are tested first. As for conditioners, coconut and olive oil can be good substitutes to get
your leather back on its feet, but may not be ideal for all types of leather. As always, test first.
Not all stains should be treated the same way. If possible, discern where the stain came from,
and treat with an appropriate remedy.
