Leather is one of the most luxurious, elegant of all materials. People enjoy clothing, furniture, and car interior that feature genuine leather. Unfortunately, just like other less elegant materials, leather can get stains on it. When you see your beautiful new leather surface coated in something unpleasant, you want a go-to plan for getting it clean. Carpet cleaning Gold Coast services help with just this thing, but here are a few DIY tips to use first yourself.
 
1. Blot
Blotting alone isn't enough. You need to make sure you blot with a dry cloth or paper towel so that it's safe on the leather. Don't wet the cloth! Once you've obtained your blotter, then move onto gently blotting the surface of the leather. Don't get too rough here, as leather is sometimes fragile, especially if stained. You don't want to create a tear in your elegant surface.
 
2. Cornstarch
Grab some cornstarch or baking soda and coat the stain in either. Once you've done this, let it sit for about 24 hours. This method is especially good for tough grease or oil stains.
 
3. Clean off Cornstarch
A dry, clean cloth will help you brush off the powder and see if the stain has disappeared. If it hasn't, don't fret. There are still a few things you can do to see if you can remove the stain yourself. Cornstarch has saved more than one piece of leather in the world, and it will save many more over the course of history, but it isn't always the most effective way of removing the stain. It really depends on what kind of stain you have. If the stain is solid or liquid, it may require different treatments.
 
4. Cornstarch Again
Try the cornstarch on the stain again, but this time rub your fingers gently into the cornstarch to see if penetrating the stain deeper may help to remove it. Repeat this process a few times over the course of the day, and then check the next day to see if your pesky stain has disappeared. If it hasn't, move onto 5.
 
5. Detergent and Water
You'll need to do a bit of mixology here. You're going to want to choose a mild detergent, something that's light. Mix with water. You can also add a little bit of dish detergent, such as Dawn, to see if that improves the mixture. This part is optional. Mix the cleaner together until it bubbles. Now you can grab a sponge.
 
6. Dip Sponge in Mixture
Once you've made your homemade cleaner, dip a clean sponge in there, wring as dry as you can, and go to work on your tough stain. Liquid stains are often the most difficult stains to get out of leather and can be a real pain. See if the mixture helps to remove the stain. If not, it might be time to seek out a professional cleaner.
 
7. White Vinegar
You've got one more substance that is on your side during a fight with a leather stain. White vinegar has been known to get stains out of genuine leather, so grab yourself a bottle of white vinegar, a dry, clean cloth, and go to town on that stain. You may find that it quickly dissolves and leaves your leather looking like new again. If not, then there is another, often more preferable option: calling that professional cleaner mentioned earlier.
 
Leather is a tricky surface to clean, and the abundance of specialized leather cleaners sold by furniture stores, car outlets, and department stores exhibits this fact. Leather is tough, but when it's stained, it's also tough to clean. Many stains cling stubbornly to leather and refuse to let you have that elegant piece of furniture or car seatback. If you're frustrated over the inability to remove the leather stain, don't feel alone. Millions of people a year, around the world, will have a tough leather stain that simply refuses to go away. If you're one of those unlucky people, just know that professional cleaning services are going to come to your rescue and give you your beautiful leather surface back.
