Steps to Get Rid of Mustard Stains on Leather
- Identify what type of leather stained surface is made of. If the leather is aniline, you’ll want to proceed with care. Aniline leather has been dyed using soluble dyes, which means that some cleaning agents may cause discoloration.
- If leather is not aniline, use a small amount of soap and water to remove any surface dirt and debris from the leather. Wipe away the solution with a clean cloth and allow the leather to dry fully.
- Dip a clean cloth into glycerin and gently rub it over stain. Glycerin will help loosen the bond between the mustard and the leather.
- Once stain is gone, apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the affected area. This will help restore moisture to the leather and prevent future stains.
- If the stain still won’t come out, dip a clean cloth into a mixture of white vinegar and water and dab it onto the area. Wipe away the solution with a clean cloth. The vinegar should help break down the stain.
- For stubborn stains, use a soft-bristled brush to scrub away the remaining residue. Be sure to work in small, circular motions and go with the grain of the leather.
- Finish by applying a light coat of leather conditioner to the entire area.
