I got a combo package of leather cleaner / conditioner from Ikea - about $15. I have used this on my furniture for six years. No complaints.

From the 'local store', I am accustomed to using Saddle Soap for cleaning. It is more work than the Ikea leather cleaner, but it works. You want to do a good job of removing it out of the leather once you are satisified with the cleaning. Mink oil to condition the leather and keep it from drying. Like I say, the Ikea stuff seems to be just fine, but it may not be accessible to you and Saddle Soap and Mink Oil should be very available.

Cartegena, how have you been? How's the weather, the cost of living, the govt, the taxes in Colombia? Any more floods and mud slides on the ride to your mountaintop home? Hop over to the lounge and give us an update.

You've been gone a while.
