Things You Will Need
-
Harden the melted rubber with an ice cube. Hold the ice cube on the melted rubber for a few seconds at a time. Wipe away excess moisture from the ice cube so it doesn't damage the surface of the leather.
-
Scrape away the melted rubber with a butter knife or spoon. Refreeze the rubber with the ice cube if it softens as you scrape it.
-
Dip an old rag in either dry cleaning solvent or Goo Gone. Carefully apply the cleaner on the rag and dab it on what is left of the melted rubber.
-
Dab up the cleaner and melted rubber with another dry rag. Continue to reapply the Goo Gone or dry cleaning solvent until the rubber is gone.
