Oils that are sitting on the surface can be removed with a detergent foam cleaner. Once the oils have penetrated the leather you would need to use a professional degreaser to remove the oil. The degreasing process extracts the oils into a very fine degreasing compound but there is a danger that it will also remove colour from the leather which would need replacing. If the stains are on ana niline style leather and cannot be cleaned out you may find that using aniline restoration products will help to dissipate the problem and make the stains look less obvious. Degreasing can be done on anilines but these are more likely to change colour in the process.

How do you remove oil and water stains from a leather hat?

The best way to remove oil stains from light coloured shoes, is to use a can of aerosol deodorant. Do not use an antiperspirant, as this will spray white powder onto the leather. The solvent in the deodorant dissolves oil. So, spray it onto the stain; quickly and gently, rub the spray onto the stain. Do not be tempted to dig your fingernail into the leather in a misguided attempt at speeding-up the process: this may cause permanent damage to the material, probably making tan-coloured leather go dark brown. Once the solvent has dissolved the oil, the leather will look dry and lacklustre, as though it requires a good polish. So, leave the leather to dry for 24 hours and once you are happy that the stains have gone, give the leather a good polish in the usual way. More than one coat of polish may be required.
