Well, thanks to fall & wintry weather (read: less than 80 degrees) I was inspired to work in the garage and this was my first project (yes - there are many projects awaiting me). I wiped it down with a soft cloth when I bought it so it didn't have any more cobwebs, but it desperately needed cleaning. Mom suggested Murphy's Oil and great news, she had some in her basement! She said just put some on a cloth and wipe it down but the instructions said to dilute it so I kinda did both. I had a regular old towel as my cleaning rag and this was so dirty the whole rag soon became covered in grime.... But the chair was so much cleaner!

| The leather has to be original as do the nail heads and I wanted to keep both. |

| I know this is hard to see - maybe I need an update of the update! Anyway, I wiped the chair down multiple times with Murphy's Oil and cleaned the leather. This chair isn't ready for anyone to sit on it - but it looks so nice in my dining room! |
