This step is highly important as the ostrich leather is very porous and absorbs fast any liquid. But if water spots still have appeared you can try to act in following ways. Firstly, try to put a damaged product onto indirect mid heat source and let it dry. If water spots have disappeared re-condition and re-seal an item. If this option does not work, dampen, but not wet, the entire surface and gently rub, dry it naturally and re-treat with conditioner and sealer.
