1. View the instructions for use of the leather wallet.
Most leather wallets include care instructions. We recommend that you read these carefully and look out for cleaners that are not recommended for use on leather.

For example, alkaline cleaners, such as baby wipes, should not be used on leather wallets because they can damage the finish. Oil or wax are also prohibited.

2. Remove the items in the wallet.
Before cleaning a leather wallet, remove all credit, debit and ID cards, photos, cash, or other items from the wallet.

3. Remove stains and impregnated dirt.
Use a dry paper towel to remove large stains from the wallet. Naturally, this must be done in places that are still wet.

If you notice stains on your wallet after they have dried, you can put a small amount of alcohol on a paper towel and apply it to the stain to remove it.

If the wallet becomes greasy, you can remove it with a damp paper towel and a small amount of talcum powder.

4. Clean your leather wallet by hand.
The only method to clean a leather wallet is by hand. Putting your wallet in the washing machine - even on a delicate machine - can damage your wallet. The constant movement in the washing machine can break down the leather.

If you wash your wallet by hand, use a mixture of warm water and mild soap. It is best to use baby shampoos and fragrance-free soaps. Mix the soap with the water and wash the wallet with a soft cleaning cloth.

Ideally, the foam does not build up on the wallet, but if it does, simply wipe the foam off with a second, dry, soft cleaning cloth.

5. 5. Run the wallet under warm water.
After washing the wallet thoroughly, rinse away excess shampoo and dirt with warm water. Squeeze the wallet slightly to remove any excess water that the wallet has absorbed.
