Expert Leather Boot Care Tips

Quick and Easy, Cleaning System:

Even though the term ‘spring clean’ denotes cleaning during springtime, it should be done as regularly as possible; in fact, whenever to keep your leather from becoming dry and brittle we recommend cleaning and conditioning every 2 -3 months, This may vary depending on how often you wear them.

To start with, clean off any excess grime from the leather. If your boots are really dirty, it’s worth washing them and allowing them to dry before you start.
Next, restore your leather (black) with our renovating polish with nourishing dyes to provide superior scuff coverage. For in-between cleans and instant shine use our Instant Shine Wipes which will shine and protect your leather boots. Lastly, maintain your leather boots with our premium Dubbin, which contains a rich blend of waxes and oils that nourish and preserve, while also providing water repellent protection.

TIP: Nourish your leather with our Hydrating Leather Conditioner that penetrates leather to moisturise.

Quick and easy DIY boot deodorizer:

Mix together 1 tablespoon each of arrowroot powder, bicarbonate of soda and whole cloves. Divide in two. Cut a large piece of natural fabric (cotton, linen or silk) into 2 x 15cm squares. Separate the squares and pour a mound of the clove mixture onto the centre of each square. Wrap up the fabric from the sides and tie the ends together with string. You will have two sachets of boot deodorizer ready to store in your winter boots.

6 Steps To A Cleaner Leather Sofa

I started with the sofa. By giving this a thorough spritz and polish I knew that the entire living room would brighten dramatically. Here’s how I did it:

Dust.

This is the most important first step. It ensures that any dirt residue will not be absorbed into the leather during the cleaning process. I did this with a vacuum, but you can easily do it with a soft dusting cloth. Observe and mark out grimy spots.

It’s worth doing this under a good source of natural light. I cleaned my sofa in the morning and kept the windows open so that plenty of sunshine streamed in through the windows and I was able to mark out any streaks or stains.

Clean

Apply a deep clean leather soap directly to these areas using a soft cloth. Continue to the remaining areas of the sofa. Rub well before wiping off excess cleaner and dirt with a dry cloth.

Condition

Follow with a leather care hydrating cream. The beeswax, lanolin and emu oil can rejuvenate leather to a soft and luxurious finish.

Cushion it up!

Kick off this spring with some spunky new cushions and a fresh new throw for your couch. Small things like colourful cushions and throws can give your clean sofa a fresh new feel.

Keep it clean.

I was so inspired by this fresh new look that I’ve invested in some regular leather wipes. Baby spew on the couch? No problem at all!
