Use a wet rag to get bugs off BEFORE they have a chance to stain light color leathers. Then clean with Lexol cleaner and then use Lexol conditioner.

here's a more in-depth explaination:

I've used a (big) bucket of water with a couple caps of Woolite (read the directions for exact measurements). Hand wash those things, and scrub the dirty parts that need scrubbing. Hang dry them, then once they are dry, use leather conditioner to keep the leather nice and soft.

Wal-Mart has it, I think Target has it too. It's pretty common stuff.
