cleaning leathers.
 
dunno where this should be - waht section but me put it in here.. ha

Ok.. so leathers need a clean after scotland.. I mean a good clean..

mand asked at dry cleaners,

mine £65

hers cos black AND white |£165 !!!


what !


so what other option.. I mean can we wash them with a waterproofer ?? in the washer? they are a bit rank now after scotland and we got AR and France..

we do wet wipe them and feed them with renapaur.. its just the insides etc.. want them smelling fresh n lovely again but to retain their water ish resistant ish properties.

i haven't either...I mean, they don't smell so I figure they'll be ok. Need some new ones anyway.

Could just spray the inside with good old Febreze? :-D

Never washed mine...ever. Every now and again i will chuck some baby powder down the legs of the trousers. The jacket, dont know, to be honest doesnt smell too bad and after i think near 8 years old, it aint bad. Wipe the outers down with baby wipes then if you must renapur.

i clean mine with leather cleaning wipes... they're marketed for furniture, but they get the flies and dead moths off a treat
