Grain Genuine Leather
What kind of effect does water have on full grain genuine leather?
Full grain just means that the epidermis is intact; the leather is not “corrected” or “split” which is normally to resolve scarring/poor quality hides. Full grain doesnt let me know what type of tanning has been done to it, but I would have to say if it is a full analine please be very careful if you choose to take Judy’s advice as alot of leathers will nor dry evenly due to porousity, natural markings ,leather from different areas of the animal ( different fibre structure= different drying time=different darkening; or staining as I prefer to call it 
..) I have had to refinish many pieces of furniture because people wiped them down and created streaky stains all over.
The type of water also makes a huge difference, tap water will have a worse effect than distilled water, pool water will have the potential for worse staining etc. If it gets wet blot dry and then take a hair dryer and actively dry the piece if it darkened…leaving to air dry sets the stain and you generally have to use the services of a company like mine to resolve it.
The pH of most water supplies will probably be 6.5- 7.5. leather is normally more like 4.5- 5.5 so water itself will damage if left in sufficient quantity, creating significant stiffening, and if the water is dirty or had minerals etc they will be left at the outermost edge of the stain as a ridge ( obviously minerals etc dont evaporate as the water does and if left to slowly dry they create a swollen edge).
Hope this helps
