Leather Cleaner should provide an efficient but gentle cleaning of full-aniline, semi-aniline and pigmented leathers. It safely cleans without leaving a residue or water rings. This mild treatment helps prevent the leather from getting too dirty, and can be used frequently without harming the leather. Regular use removes dirt and body oil build-up that over time can cause serious damage to leather. Find leather cleaner which is a water-based solution of neutral substances. After each cleaning, be sure to apply Leather Protector/Conditioner.
