Complete leather sofa care kit

4 essential products to care for sofas, armchairs, handbags and shoes

This is our most complete care kit for a leather sofa: the four steps that keep a living room looking good for years, gathered in a single box. You clean, you nourish, you protect the colour under a wax with a candle-like feel, then you shield the leather from spilt drinks.

The small size (4 × 200 ml) is designed for a 3-seater sofa, the large size (4 × 500 ml) for a 5 to 8-seater sofa. And each kit is enough for at least two care sessions: there is no need to treat the whole sofa every time, as the products are mainly applied to the most heavily used areas (seats, armrests, top of the backrests).

The 4 products in the kit

• The stain remover cleaner: as a foam, it cleans the leather; as a jet, it tackles stains. It is a powerful stain remover: wipe it off straight away.
• The nourishing oil, known as “neatsfoot” and 100% plant-based: it penetrates the fibres and keeps the leather supple and tear-resistant, especially on seats and backrests.
• The protective wax, water-based: it leaves a satin film, soft as a candle, that protects the colour from rubbing. Easier to apply than a varnish, it is buffed with a microfibre cloth for a more or less glossy finish.
• The water-repellent waterproofing spray: water, drinks and greasy stains bead on the surface instead of soaking in. Precious minutes to mop up a spilt glass.

In the right order

1. Clean: spray the stain remover foam and wipe it off immediately with a microfibre cloth, one area at a time. Test on a hidden part first.
2. Nourish: about an hour later, on the dry leather, massage in the oil. It soaks in within a few minutes or over several days depending on the leather; if you need to sit down again, wipe off the excess with a lint-free cloth.
3. Protect: about 7 days later, on perfectly degreased leather, apply 1 to 2 thin coats of wax with a microfibre cloth, then buff with another clean microfibre cloth.
4. Waterproof: once the wax is dry, spray the waterproofing product on the exposed areas (seats, armrests), without overdoing it. Wipe off the excess and leave to dry.

Each step is detailed in the Instructions tab.

Keeping up the routine

• Cleaning and oil: at least once a year, 2 to 3 times if the sofa is in the sun or near a radiator, 3 to 4 times for the most used seats and armrests.
• Wax: less resistant than a varnish, it is easy to renew. A thin coat every 3 months on the most heavily used areas is enough to maintain the protection.

Wax or varnish?

This kit relies on wax: a candle-like feel, easy application and a satin finish that you adjust by buffing, ideal for fine patinated leathers. You use either wax or varnish, never both. For tougher protection under an anti-UV varnish, the care kit for a 3-seater sofa combines cleaner, oil and silky varnish.

Which leathers is it for?

Sofas, armchairs and chairs, but also jackets, bags, shoes and saddles in smooth or grained leather. As a bonus, the waterproofing spray also protects fabric cushions and throws. The wax is not suitable for faux leather, and the oil is not recommended on lambskin, especially dark lambskin, nor on suede and nubuck.

Is the top of the backrests greasy or shiny? Degrease it first with the sebum cleaner, before the oil and the wax.
