 Clean New or Aging Leather |
|
| Lightly soiled leather surfaces can be cleaned with pure soap (our bar soap) and water. For removal of heavy soil use our SUPER CLEANER. It is advisable to apply any cleaner to a damp cloth rather than directly to the leather surface. (Some liquid cleaners are very strong and tend to streak if applied in uneven concentration.) |
|
| Apply bar soap or SUPER CLEANER to terry type cloth that has been dampened in warm water and then wrung out. Briskly rub the leather surface. Repeat this process until all the soil is removed from the surface of the leather. Frequent rinsing of the cloth in clean, warm water will promote quick removal of dirt and minimal wetting of the leather. When the leather is exceptionally dirty and the cloth doesn’t seem to be doing the job well enough, use a soft bristle brush (such as a fingernail brush) to scrub in the direction of the dirt creases or in a circular pattern. |
|
| A final wiping with a clean, damp cloth (rinsing frequently in clean, warm water and wringing it out well) will remove any soap or cleaner from the surface. If any cleaning agent is left on the surface and not rinsed off well enough, the leather will more readily attract dirt in the future. |
|
| Allow cleaned leather to dry THOROUGHLY (at least 24 hours) before proceeding to the next step. DO NOT apply the conditioner (or the surface colorant) unless the leather is thoroughly dry. To remove all surface residue, wipe over leather with a tack cloth or similar product. |
