Step 2
Combine 4 cups lukewarm water and 1/2 teaspoon mild dish soap. Stir the
water and dampen the corner of a cotton washcloth with the soapy solution.
Dab at the stain -- don't rub -- until it's eliminated. Dampen a separate cotton
washcloth with plain water and dab at the Napa leather to rinse out the soapy
water. Hang the Napa piece from a sturdy hanger to dry, if possible.
Step 3
Restore the Napa leather's nap by gently rubbing it, using back-and-forth
motions with a dry cotton washcloth. Protect the piece by applying a cream or
spray leather protectant formulated for use on Napa leather. If you use a
cream, dampen the corner of a washcloth and apply a thin layer of the product
to the item. If you use a spray, apply it evenly over the entire piece. Either way,
follow the manufacturer's directions and allow the Napa leather to dry
completely before storing.
Step 4
Store the Napa leather piece in a cool, dry place. Store Napa leather shoes in
their original box on a shelf to avoid exposing them t o moisture or sunlight.
Hang a Napa leather coat from a sturdy wooden hanger for storage. If you must
store it for an extended period of time, slip a Napa leather coat or handbag into
a cotton garment bag.
