snot Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I use a wet washcloth with a very mild soap for mine. Then I use a wet washcloth to remove the soap, then air dry. Then, I use mink oil on them. Soap is Dove or Oil of Olay (body wash). I don't use laundry detergent. Sometimes I use Lexol leather cleaner.

Pauly Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I wear textile. Leather is for posers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1000ride Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Yep, textiles go in the bath tub and get washed with regular laundry soap. Hang them up to dry and before wearing again I run a can of Coleman tent waterproofing spray over them to help keep them rain resistant.
