Leather Master LeatherCare 150 Kit

Types of Leather
Type A  = Aniline Leather Also called Natural, Pure, Naked or Unprotected 
- very delicate leather, it will absorb stains very easily so should always be protected. 
These leathers are coloured with transparent dye stuff.  This means that you are able to see the actual surface grain and markings.

Type P = Pigmented Leather  - Also called Finished, semi-aniline, everyday, pigmented or painted 
The leather may be buffed (corrected) to reduce heavy natural scarring and blemishes in the hides. It is then coloured with a coating opaque pigments and embossed with grain pattern. Pigmented Leather displays good light fastness, good resistance to stains and is therefore the easiest to maintain.
These leathers have combined the best aspects of a natural product (leather) and have utilized tannery technology to create a product that is more uniform in appearance and colour (due to the application of pigments to the surface).  It then has a finish applied to the surface that makes the leather more resistant to the effects of heavy use.

Leather Soft Cleaner is a waterbased cleaner that can be used on all Leather types. 
This is a mild cleaner that will not affect the Leather's original properties or finish.
Leather Soft Cleaner will clean most soiling as well as waterbased stains. 
Most cleaners contain solvents like alcohol or mineral spirits. 
These types of cleaners will definitely clean, but also will attack either the finish or dry the Leather out.
Leather Soft Cleaner is solvent free and works without removing finish or harming the Leather. 
The only time that Leather Soft Cleaner could remove color or change the Leather is under the following circumstances:
1. If the Leather is not colorfast to any type of liquid. You can test this by wetting a soft, white cloth with distilled or purified water and wiping the Leather. If color comes off on the cloth from only purified water, the Leather Soft Cleaner or anything else will also remove color.
2. If the Leather Soft Cleaner appears to have darkened the Leather, it is extremely absorbent. The Leather has shrunk. The Leather has not gotten darker, but each dot of color has gotten closer together, thus giving the appearance of becoming dark. 
All you need to do is to stretch the Leather by pulling it in all directions.  You will see the color lighten.

Leather Protection Cream is a water based protector for all leather types except Nubuck. 
This is truly an incredible product because it provides excellent protection against oil-water-alcohol based stains as well as helping to resist the effects of daily soiling.
The Leather Protection Cream places an invisible, breathable barrier between you and your leather.
Our system is for you to protect your leather first, then follow a routine of cleaning and re protection.
This way you are not actually cleaning the leather's original surface, but cleaning from the surface of the protection. Since some leathers are very porous, the Leather Protection Cream prevents stains from absorbing deeply into the leather and becoming nearly impossible to remove easily.
Usually, Protected leathers that have cracked or peeled is not from use, but from body oils and perspiration that have settled down into the grain of the leather and started to dissolve the finish over time. 
The Leather Protection Cream will assist in preventing the cracking & peeling when proper cleaning is also done.
Simply apply the Leather Protection Cream to a soft cloth and wipe it on evenly, paying particular attention to high use areas like seats, arms, front railings, and backs. 

For Aniline leathers, it is best to apply the Leather Protection Cream twice to all the high use areas. 
We recommend fully cleaning and re protecting your furniture 2-4 times per year. 
When leathers are placed in high use rooms (for example, the TV area), it may be required to clean and re protect more often.
Pieces like recliners are subject to very heavy use. With leather, it is much easier to practice prevention than it is to try to resolve major challenges after the fact. Leather Protection Cream will also work to remove small surface scratches on Aniline leathers. In general, Leather Protection Cream is used as a final step in combination with most of the Leather Master repair or touch-up products.
