best way to clean leather upholstery?

[area53 at validpath.com (Jeff Toomasson)]

In the biotech industry, a 70% IPA (isopropyl (AKA: rubbing) alcohol) solution 
is typically used to sanitize items being brought into clean areas. Repeated 
treatment should eliminate any mold in comes into contact with. That being 
said, make sure you get every area you can and clean it with saddle soap after.

It should be rather inocuous to the leather I would imagine but use leather 
conditioner subsequently just to be sure...
