This is an old saddler's formula for stripping tack for renovation. Caution!I've used this on period attache cases,firearms cases,horse tack and riding boots. Like any cleaner, try it on a small obscure spot to test first. Take one bar of Castille soap.Shave @ 1/2 into 2 cups of hot water and stir into a slurry.To this add 2 cups of ammonia and pour into a 2 liter bottle. Top off with additional water. Use a sponge to apply.This will produce a bubbling foam. You must both wipe this off with a clean moist sponge and IMMEDIATELY apply a leather creme/conditioner of choice. This formula literally strips all dirt, waxes and natural oils from the leather fiber itself. Once clean and conditioned you can make a cear inspection of the stitching, remaining dye colour etc for repairs.
