Gently scrape excess soil from the trim material with a clean, dull knife or scraper. 2. Use very little cleaner, light pressure and clean cloths (preferably cheesecloth). Cleaning should start at the outside of the stain, "feathering" toward the center. 3. Keep changing to a clean section of the cloth. Never use oils, varnishes, solvent-based or abrasive cleaners, furniture polish or shoepolish on leather. Soiled or stained leather should be cleaned immediately. If dirt is allowed to work into the finish, it can harm the leather. 4. When you clean a stain from fabric, immediately dry the area with a blow dryer to help prevent a cleaning ring. 6-59
