The important thing to remember with taking care of your leather padfolio, is that if you see a stain, or you spill something onto it, you will want to act as fast as you can to remove it before the stain settles, and becomes even harder to get rid of.
Whichever method you use depends on the type of stain.
Water Stains
Most of us carry water around with us to stay hydrated throughout the day, so spilling water on your leather padfolio may be a regular occurrence. Luckily, this is easily rectified. If you spill water on your leather, you will not want to leave it to dry as this can leave a mark.
The best thing to do is to dab the water away immediately, wipe away the water, and use a hair dryer to get rid of any excess water, and to speed up the drying process.
Finally, use a leather conditioner to finish, by massaging it into the affected area of your padfolio in small circular motions until covered. Then, leave the conditioner to air dry overnight for the best results.
Oil Stains
If you find an oil or grease spot on your leather padfolio, then you will not want to wash it away with water. The best way to remove oil stains is to wipe off the grease with a clean, dry cloth or microfiber cloth.
If there is already an oil stain on the leather, then you will have to use a little cornstarch or baking soda on the spot, and pat it in gently. It is also best to leave this overnight so that the baking soda can work to absorb the oil completely.
The next day, you can then brush off the remaining baking soda or cornstarch using a soft bristled brush, and the oil spot should have absorbed and disappeared.
Ink Stains
When it comes to ink stains, you really have to work quickly to remove them before they get stuck on your leather padfolio forever. Luckily, you can use household items to clean ink spots from your leather padfolio.
All you have to do is mix one part rubbing alcohol with one part lukewarm water, and dip a cotton swab into the mixture. Once the swab is saturated with the solution, you will want to use this to rub onto the ink spot in a circular motion to remove it.
Then, leave the affected area on your leather padfolio to dry naturally, before applying some leather conditioner over the top.
In addition, you can also try using an ink and stain remover for leather to get rid of any ink spots on your leather padfolio:

- PRO TIP: Increase effectiveness by allowing Amodex to remain on a stain for 1-12 hours (use your discretion) before laundering. As long as a stain lightens after a long application, you can repeat applications to continue removing the stain.
Red Wine Stains
As we all know, red wine is one of the hardest stains to get out of any material, and it is no different struggling to get it out of your leather padfolio.
If you want to try and remove red wine stains from your leather padfolio, you will first need to know which type of leather you have, unfinished or finished leather.
If you have finished leather on your padfolio, then you can use a DIY stain remover. All you need to do is make your own paste on 1 part cream of tartar and 1 part lemon juice. Then, simply apply the paste to the red wine stain and leave it to sit for around 10 minutes.
After this time has passed, wipe away the excess with a damp cloth, and use some mild soap or a leather cleaner to wipe down the area. Then, leave to air dry, and apply some leather conditioner to finish. The best thing to do if you spill red wine on your leather padfolio is to act as soon as possible.
