FAQ's

Do I needleather cleaner conditioner and protector?

It is quite Ok to purchase one, two or all three products. They all have different jobs to do.

Our Leather Cleaner is for removing general soiling, minor stains, and spillages etc as well as aiding in the prevention of body oil and sweat build up and associated damage, especially on headrest and armrest areas. It is especially useful as leather couch cleaner.

Conditioner (Fadeguard Leather Conditioner) nourishes and feeds the leather to keep it soft and supple and prevent it from drying out. It also contains UV filters to slow and protect against sun damage and fading. It is perfect as a leather furniture conditioner.

Our Protector (Leather Shield Protector) prevents and reduces friction damage on high contact areas (seats and arms on furniture, or entry areas on car seats), as well as dye transfer from jeans and clothing. (Especially important on light coloured leathers).
