Leather Cleaning Tips

How to clean leather like a professional using great products such as HG and PROCHEM.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

When cleaning leather, it is important to always pre-test the cleaning solution on the leather in a discreet place to ensure no colour transfer occurs from the leather to the cloth.  Do not proceed in cleaning the leather if you find there is a transfer.

Prochem offer a range of products for the professional to clean leather.

  1. Firstly, pre-test the leather for colour transfer.
  2. Use Prochem E672 Leather Cleaner and work the cleaner into the hide using circular motions.
  3. In areas of heavy soiling, it is worthwhile using a Tampico Brush to loosen soil.
  4. Prepare a solution of Prochem B109 Fibre and Fabric Rinse diluted at 50ml per litre of water, immerse a clean cotton towel in the solution, wring it out until damp and go over the area just cleaned to remove soil and cleaner.
  5. To finish off the clean it is important to condition the leather, replacing natural oils that are removed through cleaning.  Begin by testing the product for any colour transfer.
  6. Spread the Prochem E675 Leather Conditioner evenly to the leather using a slightly damp white towel.  A thing to remember is to use it sparingly - less is better.
  7. Leave the solution to dry for about 5 minutes then buff with a clean, dry white towel.
