How do I remove a salt mark from my leather boots ?

Question

I have washed it off with vinegar, then used "Sno-Proof". I have washed it with soap and water. Nothing seems to work.

Answer 1

Saddle soap is the best thing to use to clean leather.
Afterwards make sure to use mink oil or another product to
make them more water repellent

Answer 2

Removing Salt Stains From Leather

Answer 3

White salt stains on leather shoes are extremely difficult to remove and the treatment risky. You could try, however, mixing a mild washing-up liquid with an equal amount of white spirit and enough water to make a creamy solution (1:1::4 ratio). Work this over the entire shoe, giving extra attention to the salt mark, before rinsing and gently drying. This will remove the polish and, with luck, the salt stain. Repolish when completely dry. As any treatment only removes the surface salt line, the stain may well reappear.

Good luck!!

Answer 4

Saddle soap will work but be very careful because if you get it on the stitching it will rot the thread. Been there done that!!!

The next thing is oil, polish and elbow grease.

Answer 5

I always rubbed a potato on them. Being in the Navy, salt was a issue for us and our boots. Found to cut a potato in half and rub it on the boots.

Get some leather polish with dye in it to recondition them.

A little vinegar in the water will work best--acid pH to neutralize the alkaline pH.
