    Take it to a dry cleaners. My family owns 2 and leather is by far one of the hardest things to clean. We send 99% of leather textiles to a specialty cleaner that cleans nothing but leathers. I have been in the industry nearly 15 years and my father has been in it for over 40.

    The problems with cleaning leather are this...

    They are treated with oils to keep them soft. Cleaning requires breaking down oils... So it is very tricky to do correct.

    Many leathers are glued along the seams. When the leather is cleaned that glue can melt and come through the leather leaving dark lines were the glue was.

    Bleeding and die transfer is another big issue.

    To sum it up leather is by far one of the hardest things to clean.

    this is extremely helpful to objective some mineral spirits or Goo long gone. attempt the two in an no longer certainly seen section the place if it alters the colour of the leather-based, it won't tutor. you may constantly polish or re-dye if it messes something up. good success!
