Moisten a soft, non-pigmented cloth or sponge with water for water soluble stains or

Work area larger than the stain, liberally dab the stain. Work inwardly towards the
stain, and then outwardly from the stain. Dampen the area but avoid soaking the
leather.
Use a clean cloth or sponge to absorb the liquid.
Allow leather to air dry.
When the leather is dry, polish with a dry soft cloth. A certain amount of grease will
absorb into the leather and disappear of its own accord.
CONDITIONER
Conditioners provide a physical barrier against surface soiling and abrasion, and a
degree of gloss to enhance the leather's appearance.
NOTE: Always read and follow manufacturer Cautions and Warnings regarding use
of product.
Always test product in an inconspicuous area prior to using in visible areas.
