How to Use Leather Cleaner

Below we show you how to clean a leather sofa using our leather cleaner, but the same instructions apply for leather car seats, leather jackets, bags and all other items of leather.

Cleaning leather is quite a simple process; this is one of the advantages of leather over other materials. Despite it being easy to clean leather, it is very important that you maintain a regular cleaning regime using leather cleaner. This is because dirt on the surface can cause abrasions on the leather, which if left untreated can slowly develop into cracks or colour loss.

Our Leather Cleaner will quickly, easily and safely remove all dirt from the surface of leather, helping to reduce the chances of your leather becoming damaged.

Apply Leather Cleaner to a Sponge

Shake the bottle to mix together the various leather cleaning agents.

Wet a sponge with water and squeeze the excess out. Pour the leather cleaner into the sponge and squeeze several times to create a foam. Rub into the leather to remove the dirt. Our Leather Cleaning Brush can be used to reach dirt deep within the grain.

Clean the Leather

As the leather is cleaned, the dirt will be absorbed by the foam created by the leather cleaner. Wipe this foam away using an absorbent cloth. The action of cleaning leather with a foam makes it safer and easier than regular wet cleaning. 

 

After Using Leather Cleaner

After cleaning the leather, we recommend that you condition and protect it. Use the Leather Protection Cream for best results.

Regular maintenance using our Leather Cleaner and Protection Cream will help keep all items of leather looking their best.

Using Leather Cleaner on car seats

Our Leather Cleaner can also be used to clean car seats; the same instructions as above apply for cleaning leather car seats, and all other items of leather.

The above photo shows a 50/50 example of where we have used our Leather Cleaner to clean a light coloured car seat.
