- Wipe away the cornstarch or talcum powder with a soft cloth.
- If there is still any stain remaining, apply a leather cleaner specifically designed for leather.
- Using a soft cloth, rub the leather cleaner into the leather in circular motions.
- Let the leather cleaner penetrate the leather for a few minutes.
- Rinse off the cleaner with a damp cloth and inspect the leather once again. If the stain is still visible, repeat steps 5 - 8.
- Once the stain has been successfully removed, use a leather conditioner to restore the leather's natural oils and sheen.
