How do I clean a leather top on a table?

Question

I recently picked up a small side table with a leather top.  It looks just like my Duncan Phyfe drum table so it's a great match in the room but, it has a milky stain on part of the leather.  Any ideas how to clean that off?  I have only dusted it and wiped it with a damp cloth so far but, it needs to be cleaner.  I don't want to damage the surface....just get rid of this milky looking stain.  Here it is.

Why not try saddle soap? You can buy it almost anywhere really. May help?

I would also try some gel type toothpaste to see if it may lift the stain use an old tshirt to rub tho and gently and the good thing is if it doesn't then I would use saddle soap

Dr. Jackson's Hide Rejuvenator if you can find it works also on all kinds of leather, however the main ingredient is Cod Liver Oil so I would try that before I'd buy it!

Try saddlesoap from a shoe dept, clean, then mink oil. See if that works. B o th products meant for leather, as in cowboy boots, so it should work.

Maryjack · Answer

My husband and I had a saddle shop for 2 decades and the best cleaner we used is Murphy's Oil Soap. It is an oil based and won't dry the leather like some other cleaners. Don't get too wet or it might pucker then shrink when it dries.

Maryjack · Answer

Mink oil will darken it way too much and leave it too oily.

I also thought of another great life saver. My father-in-law, antique dealer, on many occasions would use shoe polish to restore a dull finish. Choose a color close to what you need. Apply, allow to dry, then buff to a nice shine and finish! This works on many tables and items with scratch's. Will fill in the marks.
