The linen is easy, just hot water and detergent and a scrub brush and then elbow grease. The leather you can try the saddle soap or any other leather cleaner out there like bick or lexol. One strop looks kind of nicked. You might want to fix that first and use that one as a guinea pig.

My linen looks like that very dirty. I am going to try the detergent method. I have plenty of elbow grease lol. Funny you should say that. I have been managing grocery stores for a long time and I had a young kid working with me maybe 17 years old a couple of years ago. I told him he needed to put "some elbow grease in it" one day and he replied and I quote "what aisle is that in?" lol

OK I cleaned my linen with laudry soap a brush and elbow grease and it came out perfect. I let it hang to dry over the bathtub when I went to work. It was nice and white when I came home.

Here's some interesting reading on leather care I came across: It's not strops, but leather's leather....same principles apply.

Don't put anything on the leather.Just rub it with your hands while watching TV.If you oil it the draw will be heavy and you can never get it back.
