To begin with, make sure that your leather is clean and that all traces of grease have been eliminated, by using the Cleaning Regenerating Soap AVEL (like washing your hands before applying a cream). Avoid the use of Marseille Soap because of its high caustic soda content, to the contrary of the Cleaning Regenerating Soap which has been developed specifically for leather care with the participation of the Technical Center for Leather.
Afterwards, Valmour proposes several products based on mink oil and beeswax, to prolong the life of your leather by protecting it against dryness and to brighten up its colour. By applying these products approx. 3 times per year, they renovate the leather by nourishing it, eliminate scratches and help prevent tearing of stitches and the toughening of leather as well as protecting it against ultraviolet rays.
Some of them have a light dyeing effect.
Choose between a liquid, a paste, a wax and a cream:
1- The Liquid Renovating Balm AVEL cleans, nourishes, protects but also re-colours. Available in 18 shades. Its presentation makes it the product most easy to use.
2- The Renovating Balm Paste AVEL cleans, nourishes and protects. Available in neutral only.
3- The Leather Care Wax Spray AVEL cleans and nourishes. Very practical for braided or perforated leather.
4- The Cream Renovator AVEL cleans, nourishes, protects, and re-colours. Available in 20 shades. Product with the strongest re-colouring power.
Remarks:
- Afterwards, shine with a Shining Glove VALMOUR.
- In case of sebum deposits(on the head rests, for example), clean with the Stain Remover Hussard Leather Spray below.
- To finish, we strongly recommend to protect your leather with the Anti-Stain Leather Spray AVEL against foods stains, deposit of sebum on the headrests and dirt.
- To mask deep scratches, use the Renovating Cream SAPHIR.
- In case of strong discoloration, consult our advice card Re-Pigmenting a Leather Sofa (in matching tones).
