Something I learned from experience: do NOT use a toothbrush to scrub either the oil or the cleaner into the leather.
One thing I learned from my research is that saddle soaps should not be used-they were fine for the 1800's, but the technology for both tanning the leather and for cleaning leather has much improved since then. For other leather cleaner options, however, I encourage you look at, or, if you are set on using only purse cleaning products, cleaners and conditioners. I was happy with the Leatherique, and in fact, I'm bringing it out again to clean the purse before I store the purse for the fall. That's why I focused on auto leather, rather than say, shoe leather, or saddle leather, although there are cleaning products targeted for these markets, too. The people that shared this fanaticism about getting their leather *perfect* were the guys on the auto restoration blogs. I can get a little fanatical when it comes to cleaning. Purchased at, but available in other automotive detailing outlets. Thai noodles with chicken and peanut sauce:Īchievement unlocked! Novice Leatherworker 1ġ) Leatherique Rejuvenator and Prestine Clean: I would like to thank all my readers for following me this past year, and I hope to see you again at my new blog!įinally, a few odds and ends to close out the blog: I will send out an e-mail to my readers once I start posting. Teashell Times is a blank page at the moment, but I plan to start updating it within the next couple of weeks. And so, even though I am closing the 2 by 15 blog, I am starting up a new one: Teashell Times ( ). They have also encouraged me to keep blogging. I am indebted to those readers and their comments: they encouraged me to keep this blog going, even as I was losing interest. It also developed a regular readership, which surprised me. It may have gotten a little neglected over the course of the year, but the blog never languished or died.
I started the blog posting twice a week, and then ended it posting about once every two weeks. The first post was made on August 25, 2009.
This blog started as a one year experiment.
