I have an official football (game used and signed) that my mom spilled laundry detergent on. I'm sure it's genuine leather, not sure what kind. Apparently the laundry detergent dried on the football and she told me she was planning to clean it "later".
The football is really important to me, is there any way to save it or did it wash off the color? So far I just tried running it under water and drying it with a towel but it didn't do much.
