Can I use a regular detergent soap for my leather jacket instead of a leather conditioner? I mean can it be used as an alternative if iI can't afford the conditioner?

[@how-tohouse]

Its best not to use regular detergent soap on a leather jacket. Leather requires special care, and regular detergent can damage the leather and strip away its natural oils. It's best to use a leather cleaner or conditioner specifically designed for leather garments to clean and maintain your leather jacket

What about the inside?

[@how-tohouse]

To clean the inside of a leather jacket, you can use a mild solution of soap and water. Dampen a soft cloth with the soapy water, then gently wipe the interior. Ensure the cloth is not too wet to avoid over-saturation. Afterward, use a clean, damp cloth to wipe away any soap residue. Allow the jacket to air dry, avoiding direct heat sources. If there's a specific stain, test a small, inconspicuous area first. Always follow the care instructions provided by the jacket's manufacturer. Hope this will help. Good luck!
