condition 2-4 times a year, or whenever the leather gets excessively dirty. To prevent using too
much conditioner, test it first on your leather and only use as much as absorbs naturally.
If leather darkens, use a leather dye to restore its color. Consult “Re-dye Leather” section for
more information about this.
Using sunlight to fade the color of your leather is not recommended. While sunlight can lighten
up leather, sunlight’s inherent UV rays will do even more damage to leather on a chemical level.
Dye Rub Off
This will usually happen when a leather product is being cleaned or conditioned for the first few
times. Loose dyes riding the surface will get picked up as a cleaner or conditioners rids the
surface of other loose contaminants. This should usually lessen upon subsequent
cleaning/conditioning routines. If it does not, and you notice a distinct change in color, you may
want to switch leather recipes or consult a local leatherworker.
Grease
If fresh, blot up grease with a cloth. Don't rub or smear it, or you'll push it further into the pores.
Treat sooner rather than later. When you've picked up all the grease you can, apply a leather
cleaner.
