Cleaning a Scamosciato strap

[Flying Clog]

Hi all - I have a green Scamosciato strap that is looking in need of a little clean.

Is there a way to gently clean and then recondition / re-oil a Panerai Scamosciato strap ?

Thanks.

I have absolutely no experience with cleaning this strap but after looking at it online what I would do is get a terry wash cloth very very lightly damp with warm water and simply brush the strap lengthwise using the tooth of the terry cloth like a brush. Then I would go over it again with a dry portion of the washcloth.

Thanks for that - will give it a go

Just to report back - this method - slightly wet towel then dry off with the same towel, worked a treat.

Thanks again

Also, I think the above method with a very soft bristle toothbrush might work as well. Consider distilled water as the stuff embedded into the material will leach into the mineral-free particle-free and distilled water. It's about the surface tension.
