● Use an art gum eraser or a soft bristle brush. Gently rub in direction of the scuff until it
begins to fade.
● Clean and condition the leather. Several treatments may be necessary. If one conditioner
isn't un-making the cut, try upgrading to a heavier conditioner, or a leather paste.
● Scratches do not disappear – they are only covered up. If a scratch is deep enough, it may
not be able to be covered up, and will require a professional. In this case, seek out a local
leatherworker.
Salt Stains
Salt stains usually occur in snowy or very wet environs. Since salt is used to prepare leather, it
rises back to surface when leather becomes excessively wet. This results in an unsightly white
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.
