  1. Dab extra virgin olive oil onto the stained area with a soft clean cloth.

  2. Allow the olive oil to sit on the paint for at least 15 minutes.

  3. Use an old toothbrush and gently scrub the paint away adding more olive oil with the cloth as needed.

  4. Wipe the area clean of any paint debris with a clean, dry cloth.

Tips

Cotton balls dipped in hairspray are also quite effective in removing paint without damaging the leather.

Warnings

Some commercial products may be harmful to leather so read the manufacturer's instructions carefully before using them.
