 Condition New or Aging Leather |
|
| After the first six months of use, upholstery leather begins to lose its natural oils. This occurs particularly in perforated areas or places where the leather is joined together with stitching. These “punctures” in the surface coating are natural “release” areas where the leather begins to lose its preservatives and softeners. It is also the precise spot which will absorb the conditioner. |
|
| Apply SOFFENER Leather Conditioner with a clean brush to these areas first, then lightly on the entire surface. Since SOFFENER is a high concentration of natural oils, it will require a few hours to penetrate the surface completely. Preferably this conditioning procedure should be carried out at room temperature or in a warm area. If conditioning auto upholstery, it is recommended that SOFFENER be applied to the seats while the car is parked in the sun. After the oil is applied, close the windows and allow the car to sit and “bake-in” the beneficial oils. The penetration is considerably accelerated in this manner. |
|
| In any event, the SOFFENER is most beneficial when allowed to absorb for about 24 hours. After this time, merely buff off any excess oil remaining on the surface with a clean, soft, dry cloth. This not only removes any residual oil, but also brings up a nice natural sheen. |
