Leather Cleaning Tips to Keep Your Leather Looking Its Best

Maintain your leather

Leather is a low maintenance material. You should wipe your leather occasionally with a dry or slightly moist, soft, clean cloth to prevent dust particles and other airborne debris from accumulating on the surface. Simply moisten the cloth with pure water and then squeeze all water from the cloth. Never use furniture polish, ammonia based cleaners, or harsh soaps. These products may damage the finish on leather. These are safe to use on both semi-aniline and pure aniline leather products.

Clean Spills & Liquids Immediately

When spills do occur, time is of essence. It is best to act immediately and blot up excess liquid with a dry, clean cloth. If necessary, use our mild cleanser to absorb the spill and clean the entire stain completely. It is best to let the wet area dry naturally. Never use hair dryers or other direct sources of heat to dry the leather quickly, as this could cause further damage. You may use Mild Cleanser on both semi-aniline and pure aniline leather products.

If a spill is caused by butter, oil, or grease, do not use water or Mild Cleanser. Instead, use a dry cloth to absorb the excess grease. Leave the leather alone to allow the spill to dissipate into the leather naturally over a short period of time.

Long Term Protection for your Leather Over Time

For best results, we recommend periodically applying protector to nourish your leather, retain its softness, and protect it from future stains. Our Leather Care Kit has everything you need for long term care, including cleaner, protector,  and detailed instructions.

Nubuck Leather requires different care

Nubuck leather is a special type of leather that requires different care. Nubuck leather is buffed to expose the fiber structure. Therefore, we do not recommend using 3-in-1 Leather Wipes, Mild Cleanser, for nubuck products. Instead, we inquire for our a Nubuck Leather Care Kit, which has cleaner and protector specifically formulated for nubuck products.
