Clean off surface dirt first, that way you aren’t rubbing in small particulates when you rub in conditioner. Linseed oil is good, but best, for me, Wilsons leather cleaner :)

I love Linseed oil. Works great on so many things.
I have used Wilson’s as well and it does work.
Have a most wonderful day Montrose.

I like Lexol for cleaning and conditioning leather goods. The brown bottle does a great job of cleaning and conditioning our off white leather couches.

Use a mild solution of Murphy’s Oil Soap on a regular basis to clean your leather furniture w/o drying it out too much. It’s what we use to clean saddles and other leather tack brought to us for cleaning—smells good too. I don’t agree w/ folks who are recommending linseed oil for leather. Depending on how dark it is, you can use a light coat of pure neatsfoot oil. If it’s light leather, then go w/ the Lexol or try one of the other commercially available leather cleaners/conditioners in an inconspicuous place before using it on a place that will show if it’s discolored by the conditioner. Also, leather doesn’t lend itself to spot cleaning too well. Better to clean & condition the whole item gently more often, and don’t let “stuff” get spilled on it!!!!!

Yup Murphys Oil soap works great.

Wipe down with a damp cloth that has been rubbed with a little glycerine soap WORKED = thanks!
