Always pre-test in
an inconspicuous area for colorfastness with a soft, clean,
white lint-free cloth. Gently apply leather cleaner
product. If color appears on cloth, contact us on our
web site for further instructions.
To clean,
apply leather cleaner to a sponge, squeezing to create foam.
Apply foam to soiled area in a gentle circular motion. Dont Rub always use gentle circular motion
for all applications and apply in light coats. Wait a few minutes, then blot with a soft, clean
white lint-free cloth and reapply if area is heavily soiled.
In some cases leather can be extremely dry and the leather
cleaner will dissipate quickly. If this is the case, add 25%
distilled water to the leather cleaner. This gives the dampening
effect you need to release the soil for cleaning. Leather will dry naturally, but to
speed up drying time, a hair dryer held at a 300
anglecan be used.
Routine cleaning is recommended to aid in
the longevity of your leather products. A complete cleaning
twice a year, followed by a conditioner and protectant, will
maintain the finish and increase durability. For leather in
high traffic areas, it is recommended that leather cleaner be
used during your routine dusting by applying with a soft,
clean, white lint-free cloth as if dusting the
leather.

The problem with cleaning nubuck and suede arises from
the brushed nature of the leather and the lack of protection from
soiling. The leather cleaner must be worked into the nap
of the leather. After cleaning, use a hair drier to assist in drying
and a soft bristle brush or Nubuck Cloth to raise the nap.
If the Leather is not very dirty, use the Nubuck Cleaning
Cloth only. Use gentle motions when using a Nubuck cloth because
it acts like an aggressive pad that raises the nap and
scrapes off the soil from the nap. The
abrasion from the cloth will help break up
heavily soiled areas for the leather cleaner to react.
