There is no one product that will guarantee to get stains out of leather. If a product has this guarantee then there are some type of finish that will be damaged by its use. Getting stains out of leather will depend on the type of leather you have (either an aniline style leather or a finished/protectoed type) Check out this chart which gives you a good outline of the type of leather there are http:/www.lttleathercare.co.uk/whatkindofleather.asp Most stains on an aniline style leather will be permanent as they have soaked into the leather itself and you cannot extraction clean them. If they are oil based stains however then a professional degreaser will work but may remove colour as well. If you have a protected style of leather then most things should clean off the surface with a good cleaner. The use of a leather protector will help inhibit dirt and body oils from being absorbed into the leather or from damaging the finish and it will also make the leather easier to clean. The key to good leather care is to keep the leather clean and a maintenance clean (5-10minutes) will keep it in overall good condition and prolong the life of your leather. Protect your leather and then use Lazy Leather as a maintenance cleaner and this will guarantee to prolong its life.

Act immediately. The longer the stain sets, the harder it is to remove. Blot repeatedly with clean paper towels until no more color comes off on the towels. Add 1 tablespoon dish detergent and 1 tablespoon white vinegar to 2 cups of water. Dab the stain with a sponge containing the vinegar mixture. Moisten a clean cloth with the solution and blot the stain at five-minute intervals until 30 minutes have passed. Blot with a clean moist cloth to remove the solution. Moisten another cloth with rubbing alcohol and sponge the Kool-Aid stain. Treat any remaining stain with a solution of 1 teaspoon dish detergent, 1 tablespoon ammonia, and 2 cups warm water. Rinse with a damp cloth. Blot with clean dry cloths to remove excess moisture and allow to air dry. It may be a good idea to test a hidden area with the above solutions first to make sure it will not harm the fabric or coloring. Try to limit the amount of moisture as much as possible- do not saturate. You may also use an upholstery cleaner attachment to remove excess moisture, cleaning solution, and Kool-Aid. A quality leather cleaner and microfiber cloth may be a good alternative.
