Collection: Leather Cleaning

Leather is a natural material with a structure and pores that easily absorb dirt and impurities. If dirt is allowed to remain, the surface breaks down, the leather can dry out, become brittle and lose its natural beauty. A basic cleaning helps restore the material and makes subsequent care products (such as conditioner or grease) work better.The Leather Specialist+1

When should you clean leather?

– In case of visible dirt, stains or uneven surface.

– At least 1-2 times per year as maintenance, but for surfaces with high load (such as car upholstery, bags, furniture) it may be needed more often.

– Before applying care products – cleansing helps the care penetrate better.
