COLOURLOCK Waxed, Oiled or Pull Up Leather Cleaning and Care Kit

"Leatherette", "waxed leather" or "pull-up leather" are leathers in which the top coat of paint is a colored grease or wax layer. This type of leather is particularly widespread in shoes and bags. In the furniture sector, the term "saddle leather" is used for this type of leather. In the case of fatty leather, the grain has been preserved, whereas in pull-up leathers, the grain has been sanded during production. Characteristic of the leather are a patina look, the slight emergence of traces of scratches and the slight discoloration when rubbed with a moistened rag. The discolouration occurs because the oils and fats used for the surface treatment are colored.

APPLICATION

All products should always be tested first for changes in the hidden area! Never apply the product directly to the leather, but rub the cleaner on a sponge or cloth and care first in a soft cloth. To do this, always apply the products in a circular fashion from seam to seam to avoid staining or banding.

Aniline Cleaner

For everyday cleaning, it is sufficient to dust the leather occasionally with a duster or dry duster. When cleaning the surface, apply a little cleaning foam on a sponge or cloth and clean it circularly and evenly from seam to seam. Do not clean too wet and do not rub too hard. Remains of the cleaner are taken up with a cloth moistened with water. With oiled and greased leathers it comes to a color abrasion. Then work more carefully and let it dry to see if there are any unwanted color changes, which is rarely the case. Always let the leather dry naturally at room temperature.

Stains can also be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with Aniline Cleaner. Do not work too wet to avoid edges. Dry the area darkened by moistening with a hair dryer with cold air, so that no water edges can form. If the leather after drying in the stain area is still dark, which would be typical for fatty and oil leather, stretch and stretch the leather. Most of the leather brightens through the opening of the pores in addition. Always practice cleaning in the hidden area first! Check carefully with light leathers!
For difficult spots, it is always better to contact a specialist first. Quickly increases the mishap by improper cleaning attempts. In particular, with stains with dyes or fatty sites requires expert advice. We are happy to help you with any queries.

Elephant Leather Preserver Leather Grease

For everyday use we recommend the Elephant Leather Preserver. Traces of wear on fatty leathers are compensated by care with the Elephant Leather Preserver.

Apply the Elephant Leather Preserver only on clean leather. First check for hidden changes. Rub some Elephant Leather Preserver in a soft, lint-free cloth and evenly apply the leather surface in a circular pattern from seam to seam. The care intervals result from the feel and look. If the leather is dirty, the cleaning is recommended, and it looks dry or has too many signs of use, a care treatment is advised.

125 ml Aniline Cleaner in the foam dispenser bottle and 125 ml Elephant Leather Preserver are sufficient to handle a whole set of furniture several times.
