I spilled/splashed some Sea Foam on my favorite boots when putting it in my girlfriend's tank tonight (leather cowboy boots) and now there are little spots that don't go away. oops

How do I get rid of them???? I'm very emotionally attached to these boots (I'm in my 4th year of school in rural SW Virginia...just comes natural) and I have to have em back right.

HELP

I already tried that and she told me that they were just boots and that I was being more of girl than she is...

I'm truly upset about this and she calls me a girl.

Leather and Petroleum don't mix, sorry...

Wash down immediately thoroughly with water and Dawn, then get some Kiwi Leather Lotion, and apply liberally with a rag, let stand overnight, it will reduce the swelling. Then polish as fit.

Unfortunately, stains will still be there.

Sorry Buddy.

Kinda what I figured...sh!t happens I reckon.

I've got some conditioner that came with the boots. I'll clean em one more time and then try the conditioner.

Funny part is that I wore them to the race this past weekend at Martinsville and they got pissed on at the hog trough style urinal wall and that cleaned right off...and then the next day I ruin em putting gas in the little lady's truck.

You could try stripping them with rubbing alcohol then scrubbing the hell out of them with saddle soap and then hit them with a coat of leather dye then polish, I've brought a few pairs of boots back to life that way while I was in the Army.
