Tacky Leather
If your leather becomes tacky after being treated, this usually means too much leather
conditioner has been used. This is usually easy to reverse, especially when it is treated quickly.
Dab up the leather surface's with a damp cloth to pick up residual oils.
Apply a leather cleaner. This may take multiple sessions over a few days. Make sure the
leather doesn't get too dry during this time.
You can also apply a sprinkling of baking soda or cornstarch between cleanings, when the
leather is completely dry. Let the powder sit overnight, and if it turns yellow the next day,
dust it off and repeat. Cycle between this and your leather cleaner, and try to give the
leather as much use as possible, until the stickiness disappears.
Apply more conditioner if you feel your leather needs it, but only as much as naturally
absorbs, to avoid over-conditioning.
Lots of contact with sunlight can also cause leather to grow tacky. This is both due to the
excessive heat, and harmful ultraviolet rays which break down your leather on a chemical
leather. It goes without saying, try to avoid giving your leather prolonged exposure to excessive
heat and strong sunlight. You might try placing a windshield cover over your car, covering your
sofa with a blanket, or even give your leather a UV protectant, like Auto Refreshener No.4.
