Just spray with a good all purpose cleaner and agitate with a brush. You will see the suds go dark brown when the dressing is lifting away.

As Nath has said. Good APC (I use Bilt Hamber Surfex HD diluted 10:1).  Spray on. Leave a couple of secs and then scrub with a stiff brush.

Strong mix of VP bilberry and a brush will do it

+1. I do this though I use a very stiff bristle brush: clicky (http://www.rollupandshine.com/ekmps/shops/rollupandshine/images/gliptone-leather-care-brush-477-p.jpg)
