Jacket with Faux Leather Sleeves: Yellow and Black Stains Removed

Removing Dirt from Faux Leather Sleeves

The faux (synthetic) leather on this jacket was already a little damaged. Once synthetic leather starts to break down, it is very likely to keep deteriorating, because garments made with it have a limited lifespan.

In recent years synthetic leather has improved in feel and durability, for example with the arrival of microfiber leather. Still, if you buy synthetic leather, keep this in mind: it's for looking sharp, so either wear it all fall and winter to get your money's worth, or buy genuine leather, which can at least become an heirloom if you care for it well.

But I'm getting off topic.

What the customer actually cared about was the yellow stain on the chest. They had washed it themselves but couldn't get it out, so they sent it to us. For an experienced laundry, this kind of stain is a small job, which is why I spent more time talking about the synthetic leather. And then it just got solved along the way.
