To get rid of the most difficult stains, Valmour puts several products at your disposal.
In all cases, begin by applying Cleaning Regenerating Soap AVEL to clean and open the pores of the leather, then continue according to the types of stains :
- Various Stains : use Renomat to eliminategrime and the surplus of wax, and Liquid Stain Remover Hussard for tar, paint, pine resin and chewing gum... stains.
- Ink Stains : Sometimes, the use of different products might be necessary to obtain a satisfactory result. Remove eventually remaining rebellious stains (ball-point, ink...) with Stain Remover Ball-Point AVEL. If the result is not satisfactory, try again with Rénomat. Its effectiveness also depending on the type of finishing of the leather, the stain can be resistant, in which case it is possible to use Stripper Saphir. It is the radical solution by which you also risk to eliminate the original shade. Re-pigmentation might become necessary. If only a small area is concerned, consult the advice cards "Re-colouring a Scratch", otherwise "Re-pigmenting a Leather Sofa".
- Liquid Greasy Stains : If the stain is greasy, apply Terre de Sommières AVEL to absorb most of it (if necessary, cover with an absorbant paper and warm up with the help of an iron in order to take off the maximum). Eliminate the rest with Stain Remover HUSSARD Spray Leather and Textile.
- Dry Greasy Stains : to eliminate the stains of grease, oil, sebum (or seborrhoea : dark marks in particular on the areas where you rest your head), use Stain Remover HUSSARD Spray Leather and Textiles.
- Stains of snow, salt, water, perspiration : use Stain Remover Hiver Winter SAPHIR.
