Is there a way to disinfect a leather item without ruining the finish?

I'm watching a show right now about how long the virus lives on various surfaces. The show did not cover leather surfaces, but you should know that without a host, the virus does not live forever, so you might consider just leaving the leather alone for 14-21 days.

Well, I've been wiping my belt (made out of W&C English briddle and finished with Leather Balm with Atom Wax) with hand sanitiser and I always end up with black hands. :(

It for sure depends on how your product is finished but maybe a soapy water solution? Maybe use medical soap or curd soap?

A though is that if you are using dyes, etc., then those are largely alcohol based.  That should have a type of disinfecting effect.

 

Also, any soap should help.

 

I suppose you could spray Lysol on it, but I wouldn't bother.

 

If you want to disinfect just leave them in the sun for a few hours.
