To clean fragile leather book bindings, use the Cleaning Regenerating Soap below, which does not contain either solvents or caustic soda and respects the leather( but always test before on a hidden part).
It is not advisable to use polish products formulated for shoes because of their high pigment content. We recommend to use our Renovating Cream below to recolour any worn parts or refreshen the colour.
Choose Renovator Médaille d'Or to care for this type of leather, an aqueaous formula which will respect the leather, keep it supple and protect it.
For special types of leather, we recommend the following products:
- smooth leathers, box, lamb : use Renovator Shoe Polish NAPPA
- ostrich, peccary, matt leather, : Delicate Shoe Polish Cream SAPHIR
- Barenia, glazed leather : choose Shoe Polish Gel Cristal
- crocodile, reptile : choose Shoe Polish REPTAN for cleaning and Polish Reflex for shining the
varnish.
- cordovan leather: Cream Shoe Polish CORDOVAN Saphir Médaille d'Or
- patent leather : Varnish RIFE Saphir.
- braided, pearly, metalized leather: Gel Shoe Polish
If you need to recolour certain areas of your leather or refreshen the colour, opt for Renovating Cream. With Juvacuir Leather Dye you will obtain a longer lasting result, but a renovation with Renovating Cream will be more respectful of the leather patina.
