Tips For Cleaning Leather Wallets
Empty your wallet and remove everything that isn't attached to your wallet and set

aside. Remove the pictures especially as they can get damaged in the cleaning

of bacterial growth in the wallet.

soak the leather. This will help rejuvenate and condition the old worn leather.
