Cleaning Case
I have an Amazon Kindle PU leather case, persimmon, for my Paperwhite. I've been using the case for three years. The case where my fingers hold it either for reading or carrying has turned black. Not attractive black but grungy black.
I'm not sufficiently domesticated to know how to clean it and nothing I've tried has worked. Any suggestions? I like the case but not the filthy condition. |

Try a good leather cleaner. Amazon sells several of them - I would look for one that may be used on purses and does not stain or discolor. I can’t recommend a specific brand, but perhaps someone else here can? Hope you find something that works and please let us know if you do - good luck!

Thanks. I checked out some on Amazon and I'll check at Walmart on Sunday.

If it's turned black, it's probably mold that's grown on the oil and moisture deposited by your fingers. If you do a Google search for "cleaning mold from fake leather" you'll get lots of hits.
