**9700whiteKD** · 10-10-2010, 02:41 PM

So I I bought my white 9700 2 months ago and so as time passes the back leather would get dirty and I see very small black dots on it
How would I clean it with out ruining the leather
I want it to look a white as I first for it
and also I don't want to spend money on cleaning tools and sprays
Thanks any thing would help.

Rubbing alcohol is your lifesaver.

^ eehhh, I'd be careful about doing that. The recommended method is using a water and laundry detergent mix.

Last couple of people I've helped with this used a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. They reported it worked better than anything else.

My wife uses water and laundry detergent. Works just fine.

I think that should be a sticky. Then, they'll know where to go

I say you use a type of Oxygen cleaner.

A buddy of mines uses Simple Green seems to work well.

Water and Laundry Detergent works for me

i faced the same prob with my BB bold 9700 (white). It turned black around the edges on the very 1st day. I tried everything but nothing worked. but at last eucalyptus oil worked like magic. Just take some eucalyptus oil in a clean kitchen wipe or standard wiping cloth. rub it GENTLY on the leather back.
