Goat vs. Antelope: What's the best way to clean these?

So, I just picked up these second-hand pieces and they're this weird shade of gray... and honestly, I have zero clue if I'm dealing with actual antelope or some kind of sketchy goat hide or whatever... I'm totally lost on how to even clean them! I tried messing around with a dry cloth and some soapy foam once, but it was a total disaster because the texture just ended up looking all worn out and trashed... does anyone actually know a better way to handle this? I guess I'll be 🙏 🙏

Grab an antelope brush and some protector spray, or just take them to a local cobbler in town and see what they say 😁

thanks so much!😁

...maybe give this a shot ☕ at home: just some cornmeal and a woolly mitten... rub it all together

man, that is way too... like, old school and homemade for what I'm looking for... 😁😁 though maybe it's worth a shot? Like, just doing it dry?
