Step 2: Test Your Cleaner

Before cleaning your leather item, it's important to test your cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area to make sure it won't discolor leather. To do this, mix a small amount of cleaner with water and rub it into the leather in an unseen spot. If the leather doesn't become discolored, you can proceed with cleaning.

Step 3: Mix White Vinegar and Water

Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a bowl. Use this mixture to blot the glue stain with a soft cloth. This will help to lift the glue and soften the stain, and should be done before using any other cleaning solutions.

Step 4: Use Soap or Cleaner

If the glue stains remain after blotting with the white vinegar and water solution, you can use soap or a leather cleaner. Dip a soft cloth or brush in the cleaning solution and work it gently into the leather in circular motions. Once you've finished scrubbing, wipe away any excess cleaner with a damp cloth.

Step 5: Buff the Leather

Once glue has been removed, you can gently buff the leather to restore its shine. Use a soft cloth to apply a thin layer of mink oil-treated leather conditioner to the leather. buff the leather until it shines.

Step 6: Let the Leather Dry

Allow leather to dry completely before using it. Make sure the leather does not come in contact with any water or moisture during this time.
