Default Anyone have any ideas for cleaning white leather??

Man I'm having a hard time. I used to use the Zaino leather cleaner, but last time it took me a whole bottle and I scrubbed so hard I strained a scapular muscle.. don't want to go through that again. I tried a diluted bleach mixture, some whitewall cleaner.. just ain't happening. Anyone know anything else to try?

BTW.. My headrests are embroidered with blue and gray thread so I have to be careful what I use, also my stitching is blue.

Go to your local chemical guy who supplies all the professional auto detailers. The stuff those guys use is far better than any off the shelf AutoZone product. I'm sure he can hook you up with something good, and hopefully will sell it to you in a size less than 1 gallon. I will tell you it won't be cheap, but if you buy Zaino, I'm sure that isn't much of an issue.

Try the new Clorox Bleach pen, I have found they work great on white leather sneaks and what such. It would be best for spot cleaning though.

I was just reading on autpia about usind a 6:1 mixture of Woolite and water in a spray bottle to clean leather. Worth a try if you have some around the house already. Thats 6 parts water to 1 part Woolite, just thought I would clarify that.

Would try Spray Nine to clean the dirt off then a nice leather conditioner to finish it.
