Different type of Poop Question

I thought I would post here rather than on the anal cancer site where I belong because there are never many people on that and you guys have the same sort of bathroom issues that we do.

Last week, while on vacation on my friend's boat, I managed to get a sloppy lump of poop on my favorite, italian leather, woven belt.  Only those of you who have never experienced the "oh my god" mad dash to the bathroom while unzipping and pulling down the undies only to... oops! will ask how I managed to do that.  Anyway, I cleaned the belt up the best I could with minimal damp toilet paper and sealed the belt in a plastic bag to transport home.  Now, I have no idea how to clean it.  As I said, its woven leather and some of the strands are dyed red, green and brown.  I've got a toothbrush I am willing to sacrifice, but don't know what to use to make sure its clean, I guess I could just dunk it in a bowl of water and use liquid soap, but I'm afraid that might discolor the leather.  Some sort of dry application would be best but I have no idea what that could be.  Anybody got any suggestions?  As I said, its my favorite belt and has been for about ten years now.

thanks

Carol

    Been there done that

    Here is a handy dandy little web link. http://www.ehow.com/how_7459462_remove-fecal-stains-leather.html

    Hope it helps. 

    Leather is tough, so you needn't worry about losing your lovely belt. 

    And I do think a toothbrush is a good idea.

    Who'da thunk

    that there would be instructions for this very thing on the internet?  Thanks Sue, I guess my search words for the web didn't run to such a polite term as "fecal matter" but I should have thought of that.  I am going to try it this afternoon.

    thanks again.

    poop stains

    I got the poop stains off (mostly) from a plain old leather belt from Khols using saddle soap.  I had washed it pretty thooughly with soapy water prior to applying the saddle soap, mostly to keep the water from drying out the leather, but it came out good all the same.

     

    best wishes,

    Rick

    I dont have any suggestions for your blet but had to comment on your "oh my God" description of running to the bathroom. That describes my running to the bathroom experiences to a T.
