Syd Report post Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) Hi Im just about to dye a tank bib that im making,i was wondering if there is any way of cleaning the leather first before dying,im looking for away to clean the leather without using a leather cleaner from shops, in other wards something i have in the house like soap etc.its just that i dont have any leather cleaner left and there is no leather shops handy. Hope someone can help Syd Edited October 3, 2009 by Syd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madmax means like rubbing alcohol, which you can get at a pharmacy or grocery store, though I like denatured alcohol, which I get at a home improvement store.

MADMAX22 Report post Posted October 4, 2009 Yeah sorry, rubbing alcohol. I use it to clean stuff. I use the denatured alcohol for thinning my dyes. Works great. Probably work great for cleaning as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Works beautifully to get spirit dyes off of vinyl floors. (Spilled mahogany dye looks like you stabbed someone in the kitchen. Just sayin'.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
