How would you use this to clean leather? Just spray and wipe? No need for other conditioner since it has conditioning in it already?

Yes just spray and wipe. However, I will warn you that when my husband used it on our brown leather couch it rubbed off the color. We are now left with some spots of much lighter brown. Almost white!

Per the directions: Spray on and massage into surface with a clean microfiber or similar cloth. Wipe with a clean terry towel or another microfiber cloth. In practice, just spray and rub around with a clean cloth, then wipe dry with another cloth to buff up the sine. We always use microfiber cloths, but an old towel or cotton t-shirt should work well too.

Yup that's pretty much it. Although I would advise you spray onto the towel you're using instead of the car seat as it's less messy and you don't have the potential of sitting on a glob of product you missed later on. Other then that this stuff is great. I use it on all my leather products (belts, wallets, etc) and it cleans and conditions without darkening.Good luck!

Hi Bill - We have been working on a specialized leather cleaner and pre-conditioning product for the past 6 months and it is just now finishing up it's final round of testing. However, until we have it ready for sale on Amazon, we would recommend simply using some warm water with a small amount of mild soap and then allowing it to dry as you said. Please note that light colored leathers (especially jackets) may darken during both the cleaning and conditioning process, but this is normal and will begin to fade over time. THANKS!

I would do a very small test area on the fabric such as a seam allowance that doesn't show, and I would watch it very carefully and rinse thoroughly. It does have some bleaching properties so be careful. You might want to use a Q-tip to apply. I would not use it on leather because I think it would take off any finish or tanning agents on the leather.

I have used Ko Cao Line Leather Dressing for years. It's made for equestrian equipment. Or, if you can't find that, use Mink Oil or Lexol. To clean the leather use Saddle Soap. Basically, keep your leather oiled and soft, and treating it regularly will give you a long life for your leather things. Any leather product "gains character with age". Like blue jeans, they look better as they wear. Just keep it oiled and use saddle soap and apply one of the above conditioners liberally afterward. Remember, saddle soap cleans, it does not condition. On my boots I use Bear Grease. That stuff is serious. But for your backpack, mink oil will do just fine.

I have used it on the vinyl upholstery on my pontoon and it worked better than anything else I have tried. I rinsed well with buckets of water and it was fine. Not sure about leather.

I cleaned and conditioned my leather furniture with the product. I did not use it on leather clothing; however, the product us for use on "leather."

I don't see why not since it is enzyme based but test it first in an inconspicuous spot. Sometimes anything wet can leave a water mark on leather depending on its finish and you will want to soak it without wiping it off since it is the drying process where it works. Since you are asking this question you probably don't have too much more to loose in trying!

Hi Tony! Thanks for your question. Because this product is a cleaner and conditioner in ONE, it has only very mild cleaning properties. For jean's dye, we recommend to use our Foaming Saddle Soap, which works really well on grease, stains, and jean's dye stains. Of course, the end result always depends on how long the stains have been there and on the leather type also. Hope that helps. Take care.

I bought it for worn spots on leather seats. It seems like it wipes off rather easy. It is similar to shoe polish that you mix and try to match the leather color. Shoe polish would be better for shoes/boots, I would think.

I think that you need to use a good leather cleaner and I am not saying that Honey Leather cleaner is not a good one but if after trying that one first, I would try others until I had all of the stain removed before I would us the Leather Honey conditioner on the leather.

I'm not sure I would use it for that purpose. I believe it's designed for leather boots, brief cases etc. Its more of a conditioner than a cleaner.

I used this to spray all over a leather chair (that had been treated/failed by even Stink Free and another product). Didn't damage/discolor the leather at all. Of course, I'm not sure I really cared since it's probably headed to the dumpster anyway... not sure I can ever lounge in it, just knowing... ;-). Of course, YMMV, and test it first ;-)

Yes you can, however, it wont work as a cleaner but as a conditioner. I have a white italian leather sofa that i use everyday and i hadn't realized how dirty it was. None of the products i have for leather worked so i decided to test Krut diluted in water and a cotton rag. The sofa ended up sparkling like new. Then i used the chamberlain milk for conditioning . I hope it helps

Your leather item will look good after cleaning, however from my experience, following up with the conditioner gave the leather a more supple feel and enhanced the color. I was very pleased with the outcome.The Leather Honey products are excellent and they have great customer service should you require additional assistance.

Great question but no we would not recommend using this on a leather couch. You might want to check with the couch manufacturer for their recommended cleaning method.

use the leather cleaner first then the conditioner to achieve the maximum results
