Product Information

Other types of pigmented leather – other types of pigmented leather are often the cheaper ones should also be conditioned to protect the top coat. This type of leather usually has a layer of coloured polyurethane which is very durable, often more durable than the lower grade leather underneath. Conditioning will protect the coating but there will be little if any visible difference following treatment.

Although you will be cleaning with a foam, the aniline leather can and probably still will absorb the cleaner - it will just take longer for the cleaner to soak in. Because of this, it is difficult to see how effective your cleaning is until the leather dries out.Always test any products first on a hidden area to test for colour match!Firstly, clean the leather thoroughly and prepare the surface. UseMild Leather Cleaner for normal degrees of soiling orStrong Leather Cleaner to remove heavier dirt (where the leather has been neglected for many years). Cleaning prior to treatment ensures the paint bonds to the surface well and ensures durability. Use Leather Cleaning Brush to effectively remove all ingrained dirt. Cleaning removes dirt but for long lasting results you should also de-grease usingDegreaser.Use a sponge to apply the colour evenly, working from seam to seam. Dry afterwards with a hair dryer. On small spots, a one application is sufficient. Apply multiple thin layers and dry each layer using a hair dryer.A day later, after it dries, applyLeather Protector. It gives the leather a good sheen and helps blend the repair. It contains antioxidants, which stops the leather's decay, and its UV filters protect the surfaces of old and valuable leathers from bleaching and fading. Also keeps the leather supple. Spray the cleaner directly onto the stain and then use a clean, soft, white cloth, to gently wipe the affected area with medium pressure to remove surface soil and debris. Use a gentle, circular motion. Do not use too much downward force. It is hard to keep a favourite piece of aniline leather furniture looking brand new forever. The safest thing to use for cleaning it is just water. Not tap water but rain or distilled water. Our Aniline Leather Cleaner is perfect for deep down safe cleaning of Aniline Leather. The perfect solution for removing all kinds of grime, dirt and stains leaving you with a clean and fresh surface. This is the best quality leather there is. The surface of this type of lather is intact and shows the natural markings of the hide also known as full-grain leather. There is no cheating with aniline leather and that is why only the smoothest hides are chosen. This is reflected in the price of aniline leather items.

It’s easy to create a DIY leather cleaner with a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar. Sardone recommends using this mixture with a microfiber cloth, “rubbing the leather in a circular motion to lift the dirt out of the natural fibers.” To eliminate spots and dirt from leather, Sardone offers the following recipe: After you’ve covered your sofa in conditioner, use a clean cloth to buff the leather gently. This removes any excess conditioner and leaves a beautiful shine.

Note that the Leather Honey cleaner doesn’t contain conditioning ingredients. We highly recommend buying a separate leather conditioner and applying it after using the cleaner.

Aniline leather furniture feels amazing – smooth, soft and supple. You can’t help but touch and feel it. The leather is usually dyed through. Depending on the original shade of the leather which can range from almost white pink or beige to very light brown, the final color of the dyed piece is deep, warm and earthy. The change can often be quite dramatic with faded colour restored to the original colour of the item. You may wish to take before and after pictures! That’s why we recommend getting a leather-specific sofa cleaner. Don’t buy a general upholstery or furniture cleaner. Most cleaners and stain removers contain chemicals that can damage leather.Aniline leathers require very little care—general upkeep requires only an occasional dusting with a clean cloth. Never use oils, saddle soaps, harsh cleaners or cleaners containing abrasives on aniline leather. Periodically, you may wish to gently wipe the leather with a clean, damp cloth to remove accumulated soil and allow it to air dry.
