You can try the Dry Clean shop in USJ 4, at the main road, near the Shell Petrol station. It is next to 7-Eleven.
In out humid climate you have to use those dehumidifiers like the hippo whatever to absorb moisture. I have a jacket that I have not used for ages but still ok but actually leather needs to be used to maintain its suppleness but here it is too hot to be wearing leather jackets!!

AVOID this outlet at all cost lest u wana have yr expensive leathers given to others!
It happened to me. My HD jacket was sent in for dryclean. It was due to be collected 7 days later. 2 days BEFORE the collection date, i was arpound the area and pop in to enquire...they took the slip, went to the back and came back with a blue cotton smalll size jacket :eek: My HD jacket is tanned leather, large size and worth approx 20 of the blue cotton thingy and the staff there insisted that this blue jacket was mone :eek: :eek:
I hit the roof and Zeus even came to my rescue :p and stormed to their back room to look for my leather...Lo & behold! It was ready, hanging majestically, proud, waxed and ready to be flashed :p but under a different tag!
I took my jacket and the timid, mousy stafff called the boss to solve this issue (according to them idiots lah). To cut a war&peace story short, i got back my leather. :D
Hypothesis: what would happen if a dishonest guy (S size) were to claim my jacket on day 6 and I turn up at day 7 to find out that I am now an owner of an 's' size blue cotton jacket :eek: :eek:

Scary experience indeed. Why, once a blazer was destroyed by one of them shops. Blazers are supposed to be dry cleaned but they allowed some water to seep in, destroying the material. Idiots.
Back to topic. You see, the thing is leather jackets are so damn precious and once lost, you'll be hard pressed to have them replaced. In these parts, anyway. I have two, in fact. One of them is the Las Vegas Planet Hollywood jacket. Look at it also 'steam' oredi. Hehe. Anyway, I clean them with a moist cloth regularly.Been told there's a wax spray or something like that but so far, I have not had a chance to use it yet.

Go to hardware shop, or IKEA, and get the leather seat cleaner. Then start cleanining it at home.
