Coverage estimates are broad as individual users have leather
that is in different condition and use products on different care schedules. The newer the leather and the more frequently it is serviced, the less product required per service. The older the leather, the less frequently it has been
treated in the past and with an infrequent care schedule going forward, the amount of product needed for each service will be greater. We recommend light and regular care. For some users this will be once every week or two. For others, it will be once every 3 months. In most cases, leather care that is
stretched beyond a 3 monthly schedule requires more effort and can consume more product. Another factor is usage. Some users choose to apply more product per service than others.

A little, often
The trick with unfinished leathers such as nubuck, suede and aniline is to service them regularly.
Having little or no protective coatings, they absorb sweat, liquids, hair and body oil easily. Even with great care, spills are inevitable and permanent stains can be expected.
However, with immediate cleaning, followed by a routine care regime, they can be minimised.
With regular conditioning, these leathers not only remain supple but also build a degree of stain resistance.
What care does aniline leather need?
A simple, regular, maintenance program plus immediate care when spills happen
A pH neutral cleaner that won't cause drying or cracking
A penetrating conditioner that moisturises deep into the fibrous structure helping to maintain suppleness
Products that won't change the natural look and feel
Non greasy, non-oily, non-shiny, non-darkening
A gentle touch; no rubbing, no harsh or abrasive cleaners, tools or techniques
Protection from UV light to avoid fading

Great product. Couch is soft again
My husband spilt sambuca on his Blundstones and I was convinced it wouldn’t come out. I bought this cleaner with the hopes that maybe I could lighten the stain a little. To my surprise the stain is completely GONE! I was shocked, I wish I had taken before and after photos! Very impressive and I am recommending the product to everyone!
I had a small sample of Cow hide (uggs outside material sample) and it is like water proof against water on my brown chestnut uggs (just make sure you add a few layers (2-3) of this spray!
I was really hoping this would work its magic. Unfortunately after two patch tests and patiently working the solution into the suede, it didn't even remotely remove the mould splotches but left the suede with a darker water stained look.
Hi Inez,
Suede is an unfinished/unprotected leather. It has no protective coatings to minimise or prevent stains from entering the leather. Often, marks on unfinished leathers become permanent stains, especially if not treated immediately. Ideally, Nubuck, Suede & Aniline Cleanse is best used when spills happen or as soon as mould forms (mould can leave behind indelible stains if given time). This cleaner is formulated for the regular care of unprotected leathers. A 3 monthyly service helps to remove the grime (from skin) that mould feeds on, thereby reducing the chance of permanent stains.
As a suggestion, try a few more cleans. Sometimes, another treatment or two can help to minimise stains in unfinished leathers. Also, try brushing the suede when cleaning and again when dry. This lifts the nap and can significantly help to hide/blend unwelcome marks.
I used this product on a badly stained handbag as a last resort before it was going to be thrown out. It worked and my bag is back in use. Very happy!
