How to get white leather stitching back to white?

[Maniac]

Hi guys,

I have a light ivory colour leather stitched in white cotton in my interior. However where hands have touched the stitching, or indeed where I've cleaned the leather, the white stitching has gone dark/dirty.

Any ideas how I can clean this to get it back to white?

Mild bleach which you wash out afterwards? Tricky.

Not sure if this would damage the leather, but a cloth dipped in dry cleaner fluid might do the trick? A light rub on the stitching could shift the dirt?

How about an All Purpose Cleaner, generally waterased, either Meguires or the one from Tesco?

Thanks for the suggestions ill try the general cleaner first then step up my game. It's nappa leather so I'm trying hard to be super careful!

I would test whatever you are trying somewhere inconspicuous.
