Inexpensive and Effective Homemade Leather Cleaner Recipe

Inexpensive and Effective Homemade Leather Cleaner Recipe

If you have leather furniture you probably already know how difficult it can be to keep it clean and shining. While there are many leather cleaners and wipes on the market to help you, these can get pretty expensive, particularly if you have a lot of leather to clean.

There is a great homemade recipe for leather cleaner that not only cleans but also conditions your leather to keep it healthier. This is a great recipe for those of you who use wood heat or have forced heat air in your homes and it works really well on leather car seats and even those great leather jackets that you have hanging in the closet.

The recipe is simple. You just need:

  • ¼ cup of olive oil
  • ½ cup of regular vinegar
  • A spray bottle

Just mix the two ingredients together in your spray bottle and shake it well. Now you just have to spray the leather down and wipe it clean with a cotton cloth. Note that you can add a few drops of eucalyptus oil or your favorite essential oil if you want to give it a better smell than vinegar although the vinegar smell really doesn’t last long.

Please note that this recipe is perfectly safe for regular leather but is it not designed to be used on suede.

    Is balsamic or white wine vinegar from Modena better?

    For household use I just keep a gallon jug of white distilled vinegar for laundry and cleaning. Cheap, non staining and environmentally friendly. Save the nice stuff for cooking and consumption.

    Please don't use vinegar on handbags. I ruined a gorgeous designer handbag when the vinegar etched the hardware finish right off.

    Thanks for the info I have been paying ridiculous prices for spray leather cleaner. I guess your simple recipe is why they don’t try to make a generic to compete, but who knows? For a good price you just be the next billionaire! Good Luck!
