How Often Should I Condition,
Treat & Clean My Leather?
Leather is extremely porous and will absorb anything it can, from dust, water, snow even to
mold. Regularly keeping your leather's surface clean can prevent these contaminants from
taking root. It is a good idea to clean and condition your leather at least 2-3 times a year. This
may change depending on the amount of use your leather gets and the weather it is exposed to.
If you live in a heavily snowy or rainy environment, you may want to add Water Protectant No.3
and condition your leather every 2 months. If your leather furniture sits near a window with
direct sunlight, you may find that our Auto Refreshner with UV Ray protection would work best.
If your leather is mainly going to be indoors and away from sunlight, twice a year may be all that
your leather needs with Leather Care Liniment No. 1 or No. 5 if it’s furniture. You should always
condition your leather after you have cleaned it, but you can condition without cleaning if it is
not significantly dirty and you have brushed off the surface first. For routine cleaning, try to dust
off your leather every week with a damp cloth, and attend to any spill or other incident as soon
as possible. If you are restoring older or malnourished leather, you may want to clean it several
times first, and follow up with 2-3 conditionings per week until its supple nature is restored. In
