Removing varnish stains from shearling is not as difficult as it may seem at first. Before getting started, however, you need to decide which method you want to use. There are three main methods for removing varnish stains from shearling: using a commercial product, spot cleaning with vinegar, or washing with a special cleaner.
Using a Commercial Product
Using a commercial product is a fast and easy way to remove varnish stains from shearling. You can find varnish stain remover at your local home improvement store or online. Follow the instructions on product before using. Most products require you to apply the cleaner directly to stain, then allow it to sit for a few minutes before blotting away stain with a clean cloth.
Spot Cleaning with Vinegar
If you don't have access to a commercial product, you can spot clean varnish stains with white vinegar. Simply mix one part white vinegar with four parts water, then apply the mixture directly to the stain. Allow it to sit for 15 minutes, then blot it away with a clean cloth. If the stain persists, you can repeat this process until it's gone.
Washing with a Special Cleaner
The most effective way to remove varnish stains from your shearling is to wash it with a mild detergent designed specifically for cleaning leather. You should never use regular laundry detergent, as it can damage the leather. Additionally, you should always test the cleaner on a hidden area of the garment before applying it to the stain. Once you have tested the cleaner, follow the instructions on the label to remove the varnish stain.
With the right approach, you can quickly and easily remove varnish stains from your shearling garments. Whether you use a commercial product, spot clean with vinegar, or wash with a special cleaner, you can quickly and easily restore look of your shearling.
