Cleaning that delicate Makowsky leather?

Has anyone had good luck in cleaning that delicate Makowsky leather?

It's my understanding that "wiping with a damp cloth" is supposed to be OK. I tried it and it doesn't do much.

I also understand there are claims Bruce said to use a leather conditioner "without" oils. Haven't tried that yet.

Has anyone had good luck in cleaning these bags, especially a light-colored one? Mine is a soft yellow. This is mine, only in yellow:

I also ruined a BMak bag by trying to clean off a black mark. Now I have a spot that's much lighter than the rest of the bag which is yellow. It's noticable and i won't ever use that bag again.

Sorry, but NO. Nothing works. I have a blue/denim shoulder-to-crossbody glove leather bag and got some dishwasher detergent on it - of all things!! I have tried everything reccommended for taking care of leather. The stain is still there, darker blue & noticeable. I love it so much and it is still beautiful and goes great with most of my sporty outfits that I have invested at least half its value in clening products.... Wish I had a better experience to report. Let's hope your stain is less stubborn.
