How to Clean Beeswax Leather
- 1). Spray the beeswax leather item with water. If the water does not pill up and form small droplets, your beeswax coating is worn off, and you need to clean and re-treat the leather.
- 2). Wipe down the leather item with a leather cleaner. Rub with a cleaning rag in smooth, circular motions. If the rag gets too dirty, switch to a new one so you are not just rubbing the dirt around but actually removing it.
- 3). Let the boots dry. This may take a few hours.
- 4). Rub in a leather conditioner using a clean, dry rag. Use mink oil or a beeswax-based conditioner--either will help protect your beeswax leather and keep it waterproof.
- 5). Apply two coats of beeswax protective spray to the leather item, allowing for about 10 minutes' drying time in between coats. Once the second coat is dry, you can start using your leather item again without worrying about it getting damaged by water or bad weather.
