Question: How Do I Clean Grease or Oil from a Leather Laptop Case?
Answer: Lift away excess oil/grease with a soft, dry cloth and then use a good quality leather cleaner. Once clean, apply a protectant.

For aniline leather - sprinkle the soiled area with corn starch and cover with a damp white cloth for 4-6 hours. Remove the cloth and cornstarch. Repeat these steps if necessary.
