Leather jackets are our ticket to instant coolness. We feel like rock stars or America’s top models in them. We’ve worn them on cozy winter days to hot summer nights. They’re our best friends. Our most dependable piece of clothing.

But even our steadiest, most loyal fashion piece needs some sprucing up. A little TLC goes a long way, and the more we take care of our leather jackets, the longer they can make us feel warm, cozy, and like goddesses of the nightlife.

It’s important to remember to always read the care label of your leather jacket or any other piece of clothing. On the regular, leather jackets are to be hand washed and never tossed in the washer.

Let’s get to it and begin learning. So, we can start cleaning.

1. Your trusty leather jacket
2. 2 clean, dry cloths
3. 1 clean, dry towel
4. Warm water
5. Soap

Quick & Easy Alternatives

1. Specialized leather wipes
2. Leather cleaners

1. Avoid using bleach-based cleaners. It’ll do more harm than good.
2. There is such a thing as too much water when it comes to cleaning leather.
3. Clean spills (pizza sauce, makeup, etc.) right away with a soft cloth.

Using a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover, gently blot the area with ink stain until the stain is gone. Wipe the spot with a clean, damp cloth and dry it with a towel.

Apply a non-gel toothpaste on the stain using your finger. Rub gently until the stain is lifted. Do not scrub to avoid discoloration. Use a damp cloth to wipe off toothpaste.

Sounds gross, but leather jackets do get mold. There’s a way to clean it by mixing one part alcohol and one part water. Dip a clean cloth in the solution and wipe the affected area. Use a fresh, damp cloth to clean the area.

To remove oil or grease stains, sprinkle some baking soda. Gently rub it with a damp cloth, and let it sit for a few hours. The baking soda will absorb the oil. Wipe with a slightly wet cloth and dry with a clean towel.

1. Start your cleaning potion by mixing warm water and dish soap. 
2. Dip a clean cloth into the solution. Make sure it is damp before wiping the jacket. 
3. Use another slightly wet cloth to wipe out the cleaning solution.
4. Dry the leather jacket with a fresh, clean towel.
5. Enjoy a fun evening with your friends!

You can also use special leather cleaning wipes if you prefer this over mixing your own solution.

1. Always hang your leather jacket on a clothes hanger when not in use. Hang in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight.
2. Try waterproofing your leather jacket to make it withstand stains and damages more.
3. Keep your leather jacket looking fresh all the time by cleaning it with a leather wipe or damp cloth at least once a month.
