Contact LTT in Harrogate or Ian at Lionheart (who's around your way), they will give you advice, but don't be fooled into thinking that 'cleaning leather' is easy. 90% of the stuff we see might be bomb proof but should you not notice the signs of wear, damage, faulty manufacture you could have an expensive recolour on your hands if the finish starts to break up.

I would strongly recommend that you do a course with Judy Bass or another reputable leather trainer prior to attempting to clean any leather.
Learn the different leathers so you can identify them, then you will have less chance of having to buy them.
Leather cleaning/nourish/protect can be a very good money maker IF you have a passion for it.

If its aniline or semi aniline ie waer absorbs into it then no they dont respond to cleaning very much , but re dying can give great results.

The identification is critical as the term semi aniline is very misused and could have been used to describe almost anything. 5 step testing is very importan with leather so that the correct process and products are selected and expensive mistakes are avoided.
Give s a ring if you need some help we are happy to give advice.
Hoe this helps
Cheers
