If you have a leather handbag, jacket, boots, or anything else made of leather and you spilled rubbing alcohol on it, don’t panic! It may seem like there is no hope for your favorite article of clothing. However, with some patience and the right cleaning products that can be found in your kitchen cabinet – you’ll be able to get rid of those pesky stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How To Remove Rubbing Alcohol Stains From Leather<\/strong> Using Toothpaste<\/strong>;<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are other methods I experimented with that proved to be very effective at removing rubbing alcohol stains from leather. Stick around to find out which methods is more suitable for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I use toothpaste to do a lot of cool things around my home. From scrubbing my son’s shoes to getting rid of stubborn water stains from my bathroom tiles, it truly is the best product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The same goes for removing rubbing alcohol stains from leather! Here’s how you go about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Another easy way of removing rubbing alcohol stains from your leather is using rubbing alcohol to blot out or as I’d like to say level out the stains. This helps to get rid of the rubbing alcohol at a faster rate too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This method is great if the rubbing alcohol stains are large stains on something like a sofa or chair. Simply put, this method is best for larger stains!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Baking soda is another great way to remove rubbing alcohol stains from leather. However, I don’t recommend this method if you’re dealing with a large surface area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That’s because, unlike the rubbing alcohol method, it would take a considerable amount of time and effort to clean larger surfaces with baking soda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s important to note that if you don’t want the baking soda residue left behind, then wipe away any excess baking soda with a damp cloth. Otherwise, you could simply let the baking soda residue to dry up and flake off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, this method is great for smaller stains as you can apply the baking soda directly on specific spots of your leather where the stain is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if you will like to use this method on large stain areas try using this method in small sections at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Borax powder is another home remedy for removing rubbing alcohol stains from leather. Borax contains anti-bacterial properties that are great at removing stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is also the fact it’s a multi-purpose product that can be used in killing mold, mildew, and removing odors. Borax is safe because it is not acidic. It has a pH level between 8-7 making it a mild alkaline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 5 (Optional)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Method 5: Using Club Soda<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use club soda to remove rubbing alcohol stains from leather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Club soda not only contains carbonation that is great for lifting out the stain, but it also has sodium bicarbonate that is anti-bacterial in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That means if you get club soda on the leather surface there’s no need to worry as the sodium bicarbonate will not damage the leather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Club soda also acts as a natural deodorizer. That’s because it is water with carbon dioxide bubbles in it and the solution itself has no smell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The carbon dioxide bubbles help to easily clean the surface of your leather and it is also a great natural cleaner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s important to note that club soda is less effective than baking soda when it comes to removing rubbing alcohol stains. It is also not as effective when it comes to large surface areas, which makes baking soda more suitable in that situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So if you want to test out something that is not as harsh as the other methods in this article, this is what you should be trying out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What You’ll Need<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 4<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 5 (Optional)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Step 6<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It was really fun doing these experiments and I’m happy that all the methods highlighted in this post will not only help remove rubbing alcohol stain on your leather items but will also make them look shiny and new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope you found this article helpful in knowing how to remove rubbing alcohol stains from leather because I know it took me a while to find all these methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have any comments, questions or suggestions just let me know in the comment section below!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you have a leather handbag, jacket, boots, or anything else made of leather and you spilled rubbing alcohol on it, don’t panic!
