IS STRAIGHT CLEANER RIGHT FOR MY LEATHER?
Straight Cleaner is best used on natural and cowhide leather, although its versatile qualities give it competence on a wide range of leather types. For most varieties of leather, Straight Cleaner is safe to use – although you will want to be careful with some new, commercial brand leathers, who sometimes possess loose residual dyes. It is especially important to test Straight Cleaner before using it on vegetable tanned, aniline, semi-aniline, or lighter colored leathers. Due to alcohol’s more pronounced effects, unfinished or heavily dyed leathers may be more harshly affected by alcohol than finished leathers. In a worst case situation, alcohol may pull up dye along with the dirt, robbing your leather of some of its color. Protective pigments protect finished leathers from this for the most part, but some effects may still result. This being the case, remember to test first, and you should be good to go. If your leather is unfinished, it may be wise to test your leather in multiple discreet places.
Straight Cleaner is designed to be used for cleaning & conditioning routines. This cleaner will work very well when used to restore leather, and will remove many old stains and spots, but some blemishes may require time and even a professional hand. If you have a stain or dirty leather you would like to fix, Straight Cleaner should be your first remedy. Clean early, clean often, and give the proper care, and your leather will look and feel more alive than your own skin!
