Jackychai - no you can use jean and dye transfer removal products that have been specifically formulated for this problem. Generic cleaners will not be very effective on this problem. Magic erasers should be avoided as they work by cutting away the top layer if finish - whilst this may appear...

Natural and horsehair brushes are not really recommended for leather as when the bristles are wet they bend oo easily on the surface. A stiff bristled brush such as a dish washing brush is perfectly safe to use as long as you are not scrubbing the dirt out of the leather. The bristles re used...

We get many many enquiries every week about dye transfer on pale coloured leathers. Dye Transfer is the dyestuff transferred to leather from clothing or newsprint. It is more usually seen on light coloured, protected, leathers but it can occur on any leather, though not as noticeably. As the...

The products and method we use are absolutely fine on perforated seats. The products are quite light products compared to some 'conditioning creams' and so do not clog up the holes in any way as they would with a cream product. Using a foam cleaner is far more beneficial for these than a liquid...

Thanks mg6045 for your comments We tested 303 a while back (we regularly test protectors for different people) and found that it did not work on leather - I think it is more of a fabric protector designed to coat fibres in the same way as a scotchgard product. Quite happy to talk about...

We have a new formulation leather protector that is guaranteed for 1 year. LTT Leather Guard is formulated to protect leather against dye transfer and stains also contains UV protector. Hope this helps Judyb

Please be careful what you use for removing ink on leather. Using the wrong product may damage the finish on the leather and may not remove the ink. It is crucial to know the type of leather you have before you try to remove ink from leather as some cleaners (particularly household cleaners )...

Don't use the products on the Alcantara as these are fabric and the products will ruin them.

Adding rejuvenator oil may cause problems with adhesion. If you have removed the old finish on the leather (unnecessary with modern refinishing systems) you will almost certainly need to replace a finish to make any recolour long lasting. The product you have used is a bonded product which has...

This sounds like dye transfer from your description. Very common problem on car interiors and will nit be helped by using 'conditioners'. You need to use protectors on your leather but make sure they are protectors and not just rebranded conditioners which many are. To solve the dye transfer...

Most leather in cars is coated leather. Conditioner is unnecessary as it cannot get to the leather itself and can cause problems with the finish on the Leather. A protector however will help keep the leather clean and protected against dye transfer etc. Nappa leather traditionally was...

What's the mystery with your leather? Can we help? Judyb Leather care consultant

If you have not used a leather protector on a regular basis then dye transfer can be difficult to deal with as the dyes actually re dye the leather. The longer the dye remains the harder it is to remove as it moves deeper into the finish on the leather. Please do not use a magic eraser as...

Adding oils to modern leather is not only unecessary but can cause other prblems too. Perforated leather should be treated exactly the same way as all other coated leather. If you use 'conditioners' they will not add anything other than a coating on the surface that collects dirt. Adding mre...
