Know Any Pre-Treatments To Keep White Suits…White?

Like Stain Master for carpet or Kiwi Camp Dry for leather.

Ready ?

With DuPont’s miracle of science or DuPont’s finish, you might be okay spraying it with a vacuum cleaner except for the really big bugs, that is of course, after painting a number three on your seventy four Camaro.

Seriously ?
The above No Bull may do the trick.

General Primer regardless the pre-cleaner or cleaners used.

Chemicals
– Avoid products with Silicone (1) or Petroleum: they will seal the pores in the leather and lead to cracks and rot. Solvents cause leather to dry become brittle;
– Avoid strong alkaline cleaners able to neutralise acid; note label for pH neutral. (2)
– Leather tends to be porous and absorbent; consult a professional should stains go beneath the surface;

Application of all cleaners
– Use diluted small portions and add concentrate as you proceed;
– Do a spot test (cotton butt): test first on a small inconspicuous space before proceeding;
– Remember to prepare the leather first, such as removal of mildew outside to avoid releasing mildew spores inside your home.

Miscellaneous home maintenance remedies (not recommended on expensive leather)
– Sometimes, one part to five parts moisturizing neutral pH soap and water is all it takes;
– Use vinegar in moderation, five parts to one.

Storage
– Store in a dark, dry cabinet or use a dehumidifier or heat the room and open the windows to release the humid air. Too dry an atmosphere will cause cracking over time as will ultraviolet fade the dye process;
– When wet, let jacket dry naturally. Do not use a hair dryer or place the item near a heat source to dry.

Purchase selection
– Always use suggestions of pre-cleaners from the manufacturer first;
– Note type of leather, treated or untreated, dye and finish.
– No such thing as a cure-all product;
– Do not stinge excessively on a non-abrasive leather cleaners the first time round;
– Consult a professional leather cleaner in the event of stain removal.
