If the stain comes {from|out of} a {liquid,|liquid, then} blot up as much as {you can|possible}. {Do not|Don’t} wipe it, as that can make the stain {bigger|larger} and more {difficult|challenging} to manage. 

Dampen the cloth with water. {Do not|Don’t} over wet the {cloth|fabric}, because doing {that|this} can leave water stains {on|in} your leather furniture. The cloth just {needs|has} to be damp. Sometimes spraying water {onto|on} the rag {with|using} a spray bottle is {enough|sufficient}, otherwise, wring out the excess {before|prior to} using.

Apply a {small amount|little bit} of soap to the {damp|moist} cloth and work it into a lather. Simply wiping it across a bar of soap {may|could} be all that is {required|necessary}. Apply a {small amount|little bit} of soap to the {damp|moist} cloth and work it into a lather.
