How to Clean Leather Wallets
If you own a leather wallet, then you know that after a while of use the wallet develops scuffs and marks on it. However, vacuuming and using a treatment polish can help improve the duration of your wallet and give it an elegant and rich look for years.
Things you’ll need:
- Damp towel
- Leather treatment
- Vacuum or a can of compressed air
- Take everything out of your wallet. It will make the wallet easier to clean, and it will allow you to see the content in it. If you have a lot of stuff in your wallet, it can start to stretch, making it more quickly to accumulate scrapes and marks.
- Clean the wallet with a damp towel. Make sure you do not soak your wallet. Wipe it down to remove the dust and spots that have built-up on the exterior.
- Polish the wallet with leather treatment. Use a treatment that is for leather and the treatment should have the same color as the leather wallet. Polish lightly until the marks or scrapes are unnoticeable.
- Use a small hand held vacuum to clean out the wallet. Vacuum the interior part of the wallet while the leather polish sets in the material. Use a can of compressed air to clean it out as well. Vacuuming or using a can of compressed air is a good way of removing odors. In addition, it will remove specks and tidbits that can be difficult to reach.
- Allow the wallet to air dry overnight. Leave your wallet open while you are asleep. This will give time for the polish to set in and dry.
