Cleaning leather leatherette book binding

I have a really good cleaning tip for removing stains from leatherette book bindings which I just, in a mad moment, thought of today. Spray a little pledge or equivalent furniture wax on a microfiber cloth and gently dry. It works beautifully. Bookish Ken

If anyone is interested (Apparently not, for shame) it works on leather just as well. I'll stop wasting my time here now.

Sometimes people are interested, but have nothing to add. Please don't feel afraid to share.

I think we prefer to make a note rather than fill threads with thank-yous. I am sure anyone who could contribute more learning on the matter would have done so.

Frankly, I'd be careful about using furniture polish/cleaner on books, as they contain solvents which can damage the leather (and probably leatherette as well).

There are products made specifically for cleaning leather bindings, and I'd suggest you use one of those. Check Talas' catalog for a start.

for anything leather I use lexol, non-oily, liquid cleaner/restorer.

Hi guys,

Thank you all for the very gentlemanly responses. It I who owes the apology for my crass reaction with my usual big baby pouting. I will visit this category more often.

Special thanks to lilithcat for the great information. I'm very grateful.
