DIY Leather Conditioner

There's no reason to buy both a cleaner and a conditioner to use on your leather when you can do it all in one step. Mix an inexpensive solution of linseed oil and vinegar to use on leather clothing, car leather interior, furniture, shoes and basically on any leather you'd like to keep supple and clean. Vinegar is an excellent cleaning agent and linseed oil is a conditioner. A good cleaning and conditioning of your leather is recommended once every three months for the best protection and results.
