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.
