Does anyone know how to clean up a leather engraving

There have been some discussions of this over the years. Some have suggested a bit of dish soap and water, special leather cleaner, and masking before engraving.

Welcome to the forum.
There are many discussions of working with leather here in the forum. I suggest typing “leather” in the search bar and reading the ones most relevant. Also, search “masking”
Here is an excellent tutorial on leather” Leather Bifold Card Wallet & Leather Tutorial
As for painting, some use alcohol inks, leather dye, acrylic paints, etc.

I run my under the water and scrub with a green scratch pad and dawn dish soap. Be careful if you design has intricate details.
