By following these steps, you can keep your oiled leather items looking their best and ensure that they give you many years of use.
Things You Will Need
-
Use a dampened finger to rub out scratches.
-
Clean oiled leather with a damp cloth. You can add a mild soap if necessary.
-
Moisturize and weatherproof oiled leather using a beeswax or lanolin-based leather moisturizer.
-
Allow your oiled leather to air dry. Any attempt to speed up the drying process using a hair dryer, furnace or another extreme heat source will make the leather stiff.
-
Remember that the more you expose your oiled leather to the elements, the more maintenance it will require. Try to keep a weekly cleaning and weatherproofing routine.
