Handy Tip for getting mildew off leather

[Gromit]

If you've got a leather jacket, boots etc that you don't wear anymore because the leather's gone hard and has mildew on it, try this. It really works incredibly well.

· For mouldy surfaces that don’t like water (like leather shoesetc), add a 1/4 teaspoon of oil of cloves to 500ml baby oil, give it a goodshake and wipe a few drops of it over the shoes using a soft cloth. Themould will lift off straight away and won’t come back.

Thanks for this as I can sure use it on my one jacket

Thanks for the tip.

Will WD-40 work also?

Sorry, I just couldn't resist the urge.

Hahahaha Mr Hemibee - no, this is one instance where WD40 doesn't work :-(

Good tip, Gromit.

Well I suppose Ductape wasn't going to work either........

Doug, the duct tape works well when your boots are coming apart - just tape over the broken bit and you're A for away again. Ditto tears in your jacket
