How do you remove mold from leather?

Answer 1

Mix a solution of warm water, a few drops of Castile or liquid dish soap and a few drops of vinegar. Dampen a cloth with the solution and wipe down surfaces. Do not saturate the leather, as too much water will damage it. Use a second cloth dampened with clean water to wipe off the soap.

Answer 2

Run hot water in the washer, add bleach and soap and mix. Add the material. Turn on the machine, so it mixes everything. Stop the machine and soak for 15 minutes and then run through the wash cycle. If there is still a problem, lay the material out in the sun for a few hours.

Answer 3

That depends on the quality of the leather and whether or not it has already been treated with a good conditioner and/or moisture protectant. Generally, you don't want to use anything other than products that are specifically designed for leather goods such as shoes, purses, and jackets. Any good leather cleaner will work well (I would avoid anything that is made for a specific color of leather, because they can be tricky or may alter the color of the leather). Also, it is a good idea to follow the cleaning with a conditioner to keep the leather from becoming dried out. Sometimes you can find a conditioner that will work well as a cleaner for minor marks and blemishes.

Apply a small amount of cleaner to a clean, lint-free cloth and lightly rub the leather in a circular motion. Wipe the leather dry and follow up with the same procedure with leather conditioner.

Answer 4

I would NOT use ammonia, bleach, acids, acetone or alcohol! This will just damage the leather.

Try good old fashioned washing powder and water. Wet the leather, add powder to the leather and work into a pasty lather. Gentle scrubbing with a plastic dish scrubber might be useful. Rinse and repeat if needed.

After a good rinse and air drying, apply some leather conditioner.
