1. Read the care instructions carefully to ensure there are no particular leather cleaners not recommended for use on the leather of your wallet.

2. Empty out your wallet. Pull anything and everything that isn’t attached to your wallet out and set it aside. Pictures especially as they can get damaged in the cleaning process.
