How can I care for and remove scratches or stains from my leather products?

Tanner Leatherstein offers great advice for caring for leather products, including tips on removing scratches and stains.

1. Removing Scratches from Leather:
   • For light scratches, Tanner demonstrates in this video how you can gently rub the leather with your fingers or a soft cloth. The natural oils in your skin can help blend the scratch into the leather over time. You can also use a leather balm to help restore the surface.
2. Removing Ink Stains from Leather:
   • In this video, Tanner explores using different methods to remove ink stains from leather. He suggests using warm water and soap as the first line of defense. If that doesn't work, you can try mild products like hairspray or leather cleaners, but always test them on a small, inconspicuous area first.
3. Removing Oil Stains from Leather:
   • Oil stains can be tricky, but as shown in this video, you can sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder over the stain to absorb the oil. Leave the powder on for several hours or overnight, then brush it off. Repeat the process if necessary.

For all leather care methods, be gentle and always test any products in a hidden area to avoid further damage. You can watch Tanner’s videos for a more detailed step-by-step guide.

For more specific cases or deep stains, consider consulting a leather specialist.
