Combating grime, dirt and bad odor with leather products is crucial to keep them looking good and last for years.\n

            Prepare Leather for Cleaning\n

            Now, we have to take action. But before we proceed to apply the DIY cleaner, we have to prepare the leather. Making sure your leather is well cleaned before applying any product, will improve its performance and will result in a better-looking leather.\n

            If you\u2019re cleaning leather clothes or accessories, use a piece of soft cloth to clean them from dust or anything else that might be stuck on them. If you\u2019re working on your couch, start with thoroughly vacuuming it with the proper attachment and vacuuming power.\n

            If you haven\u2019t done it before (I confess \u2013 I never had\u2026), you will immediately notice the improvement in their look. But to truly rejuvenate your leather, you need to apply the cleaner you just made.\n

            Perform a Test to Avoid A Mess!\n

            ALWAYS proceed with caution to homemade cleaners! Some well-known leather experts even advise against using DIY cleaners on leather. If it\u2019s your first time cleaning your leather with a cleaner you made yourself, be sure to follow all the recommendations to avoid any possibilities of making it worse than it is. Have in mind that product warranties can be voided if you are using different than the recommended cleaning products\n

            Roll up your sleeves and clean your leather!\n

            It works! It\u2019s been two days and the leather cleaner you made has conditioned your test spot beautifully. Now, it\u2019s time to apply the cleaner to your leather. Use a soft cloth to clean and condition the piece of leather that needs treatment. If it\u2019s a belt or a purse \u2013 it\u2019ll happen quickly. But if you\u2019re going to rejuvenate your leather couch, arm yourself with patience and be ready to put some work in the process.\n

            But I promise, if you really make a leather cleaner with this recipe, you will be amazed at how clean and conditioned your leather will look! That 4 years-old leather purse you adore? Bam! Almost brand new! The belt with a fun buckle you love? Bam! Looks like brand-spanking-new!\n

            You will never need a store-bought cleaner because you can make your own leather cleaner that is SO good!\n

            BONUS tip: Need more cleaning power? Here\u2019s how to boost the cleaning power of your DIY leather cleaner!\n

            If you find that you need more of a cleaner than a conditioner, I got you covered! It\u2019s a solution made only with natural ingredients again and leaves the leather fresh, conditioned, and sparkling clean.\n

            To make a leather cleaner with boosted cleaning powers, here\u2019s what you have to do. Take a spray bottle. Fill it with one part of the DIY leather cleaner recipe and 2 parts white vinegar. Close it tight and shake it well until everything is well combined. The vinegar gives a cleaning boost while the oils still work to moisturize the leather.\n

            \"\"\n

            If you\u2019re like me, you\u2019ve already got your supplies prepared to make your leather cleaner. Seeing your favorite leather purse or belt sparkling clean and looking like new, is such a wonderful feeling, isn\u2019t it? Then don\u2019t waste any more time! It\u2019s so easy to make that it\u2019s a crime not to!\n

            Go and make your own leather cleaner and bring the life back to every leather item you own! Your leather belts deserve it. Your leather purses deserve it. Your sandals deserve it. Your (poor old) couch definitely deserves it!\n
