Leather Conditioning

Here's a step-by-step guide to conditioning and protecting your leather upholstery. It is absolutely critical that before you use leather conditioning products, you thoroughly clean your leather first. If you take a short cut, and apply the conditioner without cleaning, you will end up trapping dirt and perspiration, under the leather conditioner-protector. And then, what happens over a period of time is, the acidity of the soiling will etch into your leather finish, and eventually destroy it.

If that happens, you will need the services of a leather restoration expert to resore it back to its original condition.

What Is the Leather Conditioner | Protector?

The leather conditioner-protector are 2 products rolled into one. The conditioner being made up of tanners oils to penetrate into the leather and help to keep it supple; the protector, a combination of tanners waxes, leaves an invisible protective film over you leather, to prevent soiling from touching your leather finish.

It's important to remember that the leather conditioner-protector is a sacrificial barrier that will eventually wear off. That's why it's important to regularly clean your leather and reapply the conditioner, generally every 4 to 6 months.

And as we have already talked about in leather care products, this has been scientifically tested and proven to be able to DOUBLE the wear life of your leather.

That said, once your leather is thoroughly cleaned, here's how you go about applying the conditioner-protector.

How To Condition And Protect Your Leather

STEP 4: On high wear areas such as seat cushions, arms and inside backs, you can apply a second application for extra protection.

STEP 5: You may if you wish, lightly buff your leather with a clean towel to give it a slight sheen.

If this is the first time you'll be using the Pelle leather care system, I recommend you start off with the Master Kit, which contains all the products you'll need to get started. Once you've used up some of the products in this kit, then they can be individually replaced. A master kit will last about 2 years on an average size leather lounge suite.
