Abrasive Cleaning Wipes

• 1). Purchase an abrasive cleaning wipe. Begin scrubbing the faux leather with the abrasive cleaning wipe in a vigorous motion.
  
  
• 2). Start at the bottom and scrub small sections of the faux leather at a time with the wipe. Dry the section of leather with a lint-free cloth.
  
  
• 3). Continue rubbing the leather with the wipe while moving upward until you achieve the desired look.
  
  

Rubbing Alcohol

• 1). Pour rubbing alcohol in a small container. Rubbing alcohol is available at department stores.
  
  
• 2). Dampen a clean, lint-free cloth in the rubbing alcohol. Start at the top of the fake leather and rub the leather in a circular motion.
  
  
• 3). Continue scrubbing for several seconds while moving down toward the bottom of the leather. Wipe the excess rubbing alcohol off the leather with a clean, lint-free cloth.
  
  

Nail Polish Remover and Sandpaper

• 1). Fill a small container with nail polish remover that contains acetone. Dip a rag in the nail polish remover and wipe the faux leather with the dampened rag.
  
  
• 2). Rub the fake leather immediately with a piece of sandpaper. The sandpaper will remove the luster and darken the leather giving it a distressed or aged look.
  
  
• 3). Wipe the leather clean with a damp, lint-free cloth.
