Homemade Leather Cleaner

Making your own leather cleaner is simple and really works. Use it on any leather surface. Just test a small area before getting carried away.

Things you'll need:

• 1 cup Flaxseed Oil,  Linseed Oil or Olive Oil
• 1/4 cup distilled White Vinegar

Mix together and store in a class container.
Shake or mix well before use.
Wipe onto your leather surface with a soft cloth, buff, and wipe off.

Tips: 
Use a very light colored oil for light colored leather. I have had good luck with Coconut Oil. It's a thicker solution as well, making it easier to apply. 

Any oil could be used in this recipe.

Works on all leathers: Horse Tack, Furniture, Jackets etc.

Always test a small spot before using any cleaner
