lazarini Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hi all. I have managed to get some water stains on a nice tan leather strap... the water managed to dry out but left ugly stains on the strap. Is there any way to get rid of them and if so how? regards Laz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 A good leather food or oil should do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazarini Posted January 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Oka Andy, do u by that mean like a shoe grease in neutral color? laz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 No guarantee when it comes to leather, but I have removed similar stains by washing the entire strap in warm water with Woolite & then rinsing it well in distilled water. After the strap is completely dry (naturally), give it 2 coats of a good leather conditioner. The conditioner may slightly darken the overall color a bit, but it should end up without the stains.

deltatahoe Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 looks like i saw this too late -- i've gotten water stains out before with a good cleaning with saddle soap. not sure if it will work after an application of water sealing grease though deltatahoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless lesson learned still u cant be mad on the person that caused the strap to be wet LADIES AND GENTS as a premiere on RWG here is my DAD the kindest person on the face of the planet wearing my 000 on the strap in question. Took at Christmas when i visited my parents at home LAZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
