FAQs

Can I use Howard Leather Cleaner on my suede jacket?

No, this cleaner is specifically designed for smooth leather only. Using it on suede or nubuck can cause permanent damage.

How often should I use this leather cleaner?

Use as needed when your leather items show signs of dirt or grime. For regular maintenance, cleaning once every 1-3 months is generally sufficient, depending on usage.

Do I need to condition the leather after using this cleaner?

While not strictly required, it is highly recommended. This cleaner removes dirt and oils, so conditioning afterward helps restore moisture and protect the leather.

Is this product safe for colored leather?

Yes, the formula is mild and safe for most colored smooth leathers. However, always perform a spot test in an inconspicuous area first to ensure colorfastness.

Can this cleaner remove ink stains?

It can remove most common stains, but ink can be particularly challenging. It may lighten ink stains, but complete removal often requires specialized ink removers. Test first.

Can I use this on leather couches?

Yes, it is ideal for cleaning leather furniture, including couches and chairs made of smooth leather.

Troubleshooting

Cleaner leaves a residue

Ensure you are wiping away all residue with a clean, damp cloth after cleaning. Excessive application can also cause residue; use sparingly.

Stain not completely removed

For stubborn stains, repeat the application process. Allow the cleaner to dwell for a minute or two on the stain before wiping. For very old or set-in stains, professional cleaning might be necessary.

Leather appears dull after cleaning

This is often due to the removal of natural oils or surface dirt. Follow up with a Howard Leather Conditioner or Leather Salve to restore sheen and suppleness.
