We've had a lot of questions on how to wash leather jackets, so we've decided to address them in this post. Because you can't throw your leather jacket in the washing machine, it's not as easy to clean as your other clothes.

How to Wash a Leather Jacket (Do It Yourself)!

To clean your leather jacket, follow our easy-to-follow instructions.

1. Dust off your leather jacket.

Begin by washing the jacket's surface of dust. Make sure you're using a non-abrasive brush to avoid damaging the Leather. As a result, I recommend purchasing a leather cleaning brush from Amazon, which will serve you well in the long run. A clean cloth can also be used to remove dust from the jacket's surface.

2. Use Baby Shampoo or Leather Cleaning Solution to clean your leather jacket.

Fill a basin with water. Mix 2 to 3 teaspoons of baby shampoo with 2 to 3 cups of water in a mixing dish. Dip the cloth (you may also use a towel or sponge, but a microfiber cloth is best) in the baby shampoo solution, wring out the excess water, and then apply the damp cloth to the leather jacket's surface. Once the jacket's surface is moist, use a cloth to wipe the jacket in a circular motion. Make sure you clean up any stains first.

Then, using a clean cloth dampened in freshwater, begin removing the detergent/shampoo stain from the jacket's surface.

Wipe all excess water from the surface of a leather jacket using a clean dry towel in a circular motion.

You must now dry your jacket before putting it on. Avoid using a dryer or direct sunshine to avoid damaging your jacket for this process. If you hang it in a windy location for at least 24 hours, you're ready to go.
