    May have damaged leather

    This certainly looks like pigment coming off rather than dirt. If it is then the leather will need refinishing otherwise it will wear very quickly. Microfibres are not recommended for cleaning leather as they can 'grab' finish and remove it if it is weak. 'Conditioners' will not help and...

    What makes old leather glossy?

    Sheen is generally caused by dirt and incorrect product use together with the polishing action of sitting and sliding about on the leather. Deep cleaning should get rid if this and then you can use protectors to help prevent it happening again. Hope this helps Cheers Judyb

    Conditioning the Backside of Leather

    Conditioning is unnecessary on modern leather. The oils that are introduced during the tanning process do not migrate and are fixed to the leather fibres and so do not need replacing. Adding extra oils to the leather can cause adverse conditions like spewing which would then cause problems on...

    Leather brush.

    Brushes on leather should never be used to scrub the leather. They are used to gently agitate the product (preferably a foam) into the grain pattern so that it can do its job. Any product that needs scrubbing is not doing its job properly. Horsehair and softer bristle brushes tend to bend on...

    Please do not use Magic Erasers as these will remove the top finish on the leather and leave it even more vulnerable to staining. Over the counter cleaners can work on occasions if the dye transfer is very fresh or the top coat is not very porous, also if a quality leather protector has been...

    Natural Horsehair?

    The problem with horsehair is that because it does absorb moisture the bristles tend to bend on the surface which means that they do not get down in to the grain pattern effectively. We find a stiff bristled brush works far more effectively to get the foam cleaners down into the leather to...

The best way to tackle this is to first try a Jean and Dye Transfer Remover Kit - this contains a 2 part process which is safe to use and will not damage the finish. These are the first two steps...

    Looking for quick & easy leather AIO

    No product should leave the leather shiny as this generally indicates that it contains oils or waxes that are left on the surface. Most AIO products are cleaner/conditioners and there are very few cleaner/ protectors. Hope this helps
