Q: How do I clean buckskin?
To clean buckskin or deerskin garments, wash them with a damp cloth and mild dishwashing soap, using gentle strokes. Rinse thoroughly, air dry away from heat or direct sunlight. If you need more abrasion, scrub the garment with damp sand or salt, very fine sandpaper or commercial buckskin cleaner. Never twist or wring the article.
Take it to a dry cleaner that specializes in leather goods and have it cleaned professionally.
dry cleaners know how
Don't...it's a patina,not dirt
You might want to call 2 or 3 dry cleaners and ask them if they can clean it and how much it would cost. Then ask which chemicals they would use on it.
Make certain they are all suggesting the same chemicals before deciding which one to use.
Hope this helps.
