Default how to clean a leather?

Hi,
My leather has picked up some dirty marks on it, its quite new. I was wondering if there is a god way to keep this clean. ( apart from the obvious, dont get it dirty!)

Cheers

I left mine soaking in hottish water with washing up liquid and get wringing it out, left to soak a few hours then rinsed it in cold water, seemed to work ok

Whatever methods I tried in the past, I always ended up with a piece of non-absorbent cardboard once dry... so I switched to using microfibre waffle weave towels, which are dead easy to keep clean, and I haven't looked back. I honestly don't know of a way to properly wash a chamois without killing it.

May I suggest you take the advice from PB. Once you`ve used a waffle weave, you`ll never look back. They are the dogs particulars

they need to be left in a bucket of water to store them from previous experiences, prefer the synthetic flunkeys to be honest
