leather jacket cleaning

admin

I just done with a big project at a fertilizer plant, and before that a feed mill, now all my stuff is nasty as a cheap hooker, and I got Pepsi plant in LA coming up in two weeks. How do you all clean leather jackets? I got the Tillman suede type, and its as funky as a monkey. I just bought new boots and gloves, but even my grinders smells likes a bear's crotch.
Reply:Wash it in cold water and woolite, let it air dry throw it in the dryer on a no heat setting to soften it back up. If its really covered in fertilizer and grain dust wash it in a bucket first then put it in the machine. Use gentle cycle."Liberalism is a mental disorder" Dr. Savage
Reply:I always washed my leathers (sleeves, coat, gloves etc.) in cold water with normal clothes washing powders. Air dried and then sprayed them good with WD-40. I've used the same sleeves and coat for over 30 years. Had to repair the seam in a sleeve once.Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.                                         -Cree Indian ProverbSA 200 LincolnVictor Torches
Reply:Wash it and let it air dry after stuffing it full of balled up news paper.  It'll be stiff when it dries so remove the paper and  put it in a clothes dryer with a pair of clean work boots and tumble it till its soft.  About 30 minutes.Two turn tables and a microphone.

Reply:Take leather jacket to a dry cleaner that does leather items.  Pay the few dollars and then pick up your nice clean leather jacket. Done.  The best laid schemes ... Gang oft agley ...

Reply:Put it in a 5-gal bucket full of water, stir it around for a couple minutes, hang up the jacket on a plastic hanger out in the yard in the wind, done and dry again in less than a day.
