Advice

Changing The Colour of a Suede/Nubuck Leather Sofa

Changing the colour of a piece of Nubuck leather furniture is delicate for several raisons. If the change from a light to a dark colour is possible, we advise against the opposite. In addition, there could be problems of colour transfer (on clothes, for example) depending on the characteristics of the leather (quality, finishing of origin...). In any case we recommend a test on a hidden part of your leather with the help of our product packaging in small quantities.

Valmour recommends to proceed in 4 steps :

1- cleaning : to begin with, thoroughly clean the leather and remove all stains. Please consult the advice card « Care for a Suede/Nubuck Leather Sofa».

2- colouring : afterwards, it is possible to change the colour. Valmour recommends Teinture Française Aux Drapeaux Liquide. Easy application with a brush. Test on a hidden part and check the absence of colour loss with a Cloth after drying (3 hours).
Allow about 300 ml / coat and per seat.

3- finishing : to prevent the drying out of Nubuck leather under the effect of the dye, avoid the risks of colour loss and to remove the smoothing effect, we recommend to brush it with the Cleaning Sponge Suede Nubuck SAPHIR and finish wih an application of Rénovétine SAPHIR Neutral (spray).
Allow about 200 ml per seat.

In case of colour loss after all these operations, use Stop Color Saphir from time to time.
