    Cleaning mould off leather

    Hi

    Can anyone give me some advice on the best way to clean mould off leather? I've been storing my leather jacket in the spare room and wearing courdura for the rainy season, however the other day I discovered it stuck to the wardrobe wall with mould! Yuk!

    yea .. i have the same issue man..i have a 40 year old leather jacket that suffers from it pretty bad.. i use Saddle Soap, followed by a HOT soapy water sponge off, dry it in the sun and treat it with copious amounts of mink oil and top dress it with some silicone spray

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Ah sweet, all the horse stuff I could need right at my fingertips. Elbow grease and Saddle soap. I have some softball glove oil which I think is actually mink oil.

    Saddle Soap. You buy it from any good equestrian supplier. And get your Bees wax at the same time.

    it seals the leather .. mold cant grow on Silicone.. make sure you hit the seams heavy as and it will waterproof them to a point
