CFM Hardrada Posted March 22, 2020 CFM Report Posted March 22, 2020 Amazed I haven't seen this being asked in light of the current events. Is there a way to disinfect a leather item without ruining the finish? Quote

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. Quote
CFM Hardrada Posted March 22, 2020 Author CFM Report Posted March 22, 2020 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. Quote
Members Constabulary Posted March 22, 2020 Members Report Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) It for sure depends on how your product is finished but maybe a soapy water solution? Maybe use medical soap or curd soap? https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/03/why-soap-preferable-bleach-fight-against-coronavirus/ or ask trxmp seems he is the most advance virus expert of our time Edited March 22, 2020 by Constabulary Quote
Members johnv474 Posted April 3, 2020 Members Report Posted April 3, 2020 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. Quote
