How should I apply the Cleaner and then the Conditioner?
- Wet the leather first with some warm water not hot
- Spray the leather cleaner in small areas at a time (Before starting test in a small inconspicuous and check for any changes in the leather or colour removal) Do not proceed if anything has changed
- Use a soft cloth or soft bristle brush to apply the cleaner in small circular motions. If using a soft bristle brush check that there are no adverse reactions as some leathers are not pigmented properly and colour can be removed
-
Wipe off residue with a damp cloth, then allow to dry.
-
Once the leather is dry apply the conditioning cream sparingly and evenly with a cotton or microfiber cloth.
-
Massage it into the pores lightly.
-
Leave to absorb, then buff off any excess gently.
How often should I use this Combo on leather furniture or accessories?
For most leather furnishings, use the Combo every 4 to 6 months. In high-use or sun-exposed settings, you may condition more frequently to maintain softness and prevent cracking.
What are the core benefits of using the Combo versus just a cleaner or just conditioner?
Using both ensures deeper care:
-
Cleaner removes residues and allows the leather pores to breathe.
-
Conditioner replaces lost oils, preventing dryness, cracks, or stiffness.
-
The Combo also saves cost and ensures compatibility between the two products.
Will this Combo darken my leather?
The products are designed to be gentle; in most cases, color shift is minimal. However, on faded or very light leather, a slight darkening may appear. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I skip the Cleaner and just apply the Conditioner?
No it’s not recommended. The conditioning cream works best on a clean, residue-free surface. Applying conditioner over dirt or wax may trap grime and degrade the finish over time.
Is this Combo safe for indoor use and family environments?
Yes. The formulas use all-natural, gentle ingredients and do not contain harsh solvents. As always, work in a well-ventilated space and wipe off excess to avoid any slippery feel.
Is the leather cleaning and conditioning combo 1oo% Australian Made?
Yes. The entire Aussie Furniture Care range of leather cleaners, conditioners and protectors are Australian made using locally sourced products, supporting Australian manufacturing and ensuring premium quality.
