# How to Get a Water Stain Out of a Camel-Colored Leather Jacket
Tanning the skins of animals to turn them into usable leather was first done as long ago as 7000 B.C. The process evolved from soaking the skins in urine, feces or animal brains to using environmentally-friendly tanning solutions containing natural oils to add softness to the fibers. Because of the chemical makeup of leathers and the oils with which they are treated, there is only one way to remove water stains from them.
Things You'll Need
- New sponge
- Bowl of room-temperature water
- Piece of moist, white bread
- Leather conditioner
Instructions

1
Soak the sponge in a bowl of water that is room temperature.
-
2
Wring out the sponge until it is only slightly wet.

Rub the stain with the still slightly damp sponge, moving the sponge gradually outward toward the edge of the section of jacket where the stain is present. For example, if the stain is on a pocket, rub your sponge toward the end of the pocket seam. Continue this process until the entire pocket is damp.

Allow the jacket to air dry.

Inspect to see if the stain is still present. If so, continue to Step 6.
