Leather

Leather rescues — identify pigmented, aniline, or suede first; leather is tanned hide, not fabric, and detergent rules don't transfer.

  1. How to Get Grease Out of Leather (Bags, Sofas, Shoes, and Car Seats)

    Identify your leather type first, then route: cornstarch/talc powder absorption for every finish, a leather cleaner for pigmented/finished leather, and a degreaser or professional for aniline and suede/nubuck. Never dish soap, water, or heat.

Before any method: check the fabric care code — how to read W / S / WS / X labels.
