How to Remove Oil From Tan Leather Boots

Tan leather boots are an ideal pair of footwear to have in your closet, as they offer you a great deal of versatility. Leather boots can look both rugged and tough or chic and elegant, depending on the style of the shoes and the way you wear them. No matter what your style, oil can absolutely ruin the appearance of your leather boots. Oil stains can occur while cooking or while working on a car and are pretty common. Luckily, they're simple to clean up.

3 to 4 soft cloths
Cotton ball
White vinegar
Leather conditioner

Instructions

- 1
  Press a soft, clean cloth down on the oil stain. Your goal is to try to remove as much of it as possible. Turn the cloth to a fresh, clean side and press down again on the stain. Repeat until you've absorbed as much of the stain as possible.
- 2
  Moisten a cotton ball with white vinegar and wipe it down across the oil stain. Continue to wipe down the area and re-moisten the oil stain with the cotton ball until you see it dramatically begin to disappear.
- 3
  Rub a soft, clean cloth back and forth across where the oil stain was and where the vinegar residue now is. If you leave this area wet, your boots could dry with a slight discoloration. Move the soft cloth back and forth across the area, vigorously drying it.

  Dab the area of the shoe with a leather conditioner, applying it with a soft cloth. Allow it to penetrate the leather for around 10 minutes. Wipe it off with a soft cloth.
