The easiest way to clean leather is to just mix warm water with a few drops of dish soap. Rub the soap and water into the leather with a clean microfiber cloth to remove any dirt or stains. Then, wipe the leather clean with a dry cloth.

Usually, no. However, always test the soap and water by wiping an inconspicuous spot on the leather to make sure it doesn't cause damage. If the spot looks good, go ahead and clean the rest of the leather. If you notice any damage, don't wipe down the leather.

Question

How do I clean white leather dining chairs?

Community Answer

You could use a leather cleaner or just a mild soap and water. Wash gently, rinse and dry off. Leather is very durable. If the leather is very dirty, you might try using a very soft bristle brush along with the soap and water.
