LOOKING AFTER LEATHER

Colour choice: tan, olive, mushroom, red or blue
Edith Blair, home editor, shows the way to care for suede and leather jackets and the new suede-type, too
SUEDETTE OR SUEDE-TYPE fabrics, the waterproof sort, have a rubber base, which spotting fluids would dissolve. So wash them very gently in warm soapy lather (not detergents), in the sink or bath, where there’s plenty of room and the jacket won't wrinkle. Rinse well, and hang, still dripping, on the line to dry. For oil marks spread on french chalk, wait till the chalk is discoloured then brush it off, repeat process, if necessary.
Suede should have a regular brushing with a sponge foam brush to keep it free from grubbiness. It should also have an occasional going over with a suede cleaner, the kind used for suede shoes.
Leather Coats and Jackets can be sponged with a special leather soap, you' buy it at most shoe shops. Only a small area should be cleaned at a time, and the lather continually wiped off with another cloth wrung out in clean water.
Leather Gloves that are sold as washable can be washed on the hand in warm, soapy lather. Rinse in lukewarm water, unless they're doeskin or chamois. These are rinsed in soapy water. Gloves are patted on a towel, left to dry naturally and tried on two or three times while they're drying. This helps them regain their shape and suppleness.
Don'ts to remember
Don try to hurry up the drying of leather that's been out in a downpour. Wipe it and let it dry naturally, right away from the fire.
Don't clean any leather with spotting fluids, nor by washing with detergents. This could possibly make them porous and might disturb the colour.
LEATHER NEWS
Do-It-yourself silicone treatment makes leather coats and shoes water-repellent. Especially useful for suede shoes, no danger of colour running if you should be caught in the rain. On handbags, it'll prevent the leather getting stained. Price is 5s. 6d. (about 77 cents)? a bottle, enough for two pairs of shoes.
Suede cleaner for shoes and jackets is of the soft "eraser" type, rubs itself away as it cleans, and at the same time restores the colour of the suede. Big choice of colours. Price is 3s. 11d (about 55 cents)?
