Please Please DO NOT use any type of oils or waxes on your leather.





It is very foolhardy to try any household products that have not been tested for use on leather as you can actually create far more problems that sometimes cannot be fixed.





Waxes and oils leave residueson the surface of leather which will attract more dirt which will ultimately destroy your leather. It is far more cost effective to use proper products which have been tested than to have to pay out for expensive repairs.





Leather care products will probably cost you between 拢15 - 拢30.00 but should do the job 2 - 3 times if not more. Please make sure you buy reputable products made by a large factory based company who can also give very good technical help if requied.





You need to use a good quality water based foam leather cleaner.





DO NOT use anything containing oils, waxes or silicones. (Most 'conditioners' contain waxes or oils) and furniture type polish contains silicones which will very easily damage the finish on the leather.





BABY WIPES are the worst thing you can use as they will destroy the finish on your leather. They are very strong alkiline cleaners to neutralise urine (acid) on babys skin so they are not the right thing to use on leather.





Saddle soap is too harsh to use on a leather handbag.





A lot of leather wipes contain chemicals which will also destroy the finish or leave residues on the leather which will damage it.





Fairy liquid contains more salt these days to get dishes clean and this will break the finish down on your leather. This has been verified by the manufacturers (as with the baby wipes).





You should also follow cleaning with a good water based leather protector which will act like a 'scotchgard' and inhibit dirt and stains from being absorbed and make cleaning easier the next time.





Dry leather needs rehydrating with water and oils and waxes should not be used as the natural oils do not dry out of leather. Wiping over with a damp cloth regularly will help to do this.





It is important to maintain a regular cleaning regime cleaning dirt off the surface regularly and inhibiting the absorption of dirt and oils into the leather with a protector is the best way of doing this.





The alternative is a brand new product on the market called Lazy Leather. This is the latest technology in cleaning and combines an effective cleaner with a protector. It is quick and easy to use and should be used as a maintenance product.
