leather care

This last post was from a letter I wrote to Jerry Burney last year. I deleted the post because I was a little worried about a conflict of interest with my job. Now running my own business, I feel no compunction with talking about after market leather products, and how similar they seem to the "care" or restoration products discussed on the forum.
I would go a little further to say that I have been taught never to use tap water to clean leather. Distilled water on a virgin rag is recommended. The rag should be cotton that has been washed in distilled water, with no fabric softner or other additive. No other rags or paper products, such as paper towels, should be used.
