Things You Will Need

  • White vinegar
  • Paper towels
  • Leather conditioner
  • Cleaning rag

Instead, use a natural element that safely breaks up the sticker adhesive.

  1. Drizzle white vinegar over a paper towel, and place the damp paper towel over the sticker for 5 minutes.

  2. Remove the paper towel, and peel away the sticker. If it does not easily peel off the leather, re-wet the paper towel with vinegar, and place it back over the sticker for another 5 minutes. Repeat as needed, until the sticker peels off with ease.

  3. Rinse a clean paper towel under water, and rub it over the area to remove any leftover vinegar solution.

  4. Drizzle the corner of a cleaning rag with leather conditioner, and apply it to the leather jacket to restore moisture. Rub the conditioner in well, and let the leather air dry.
