Chrome Leather Care :: Tantech Pty Ltd

Chrome tanned leather which is finished should meet international standards for wear resistance (dry rubbing) and flexing. Unlike vegetable tanned leather, chrome tanned leather has the lubricating oils fixed in the hide during the tanning process. The care regime is therefore more relative to maintaining the finish rather than the hide itself. The use of alkaline cleaning products such as saddle soap or pure soap is not suitable as it will damage the finish. Since the finishes on finished leather is there to provide a protective layer the use of ‘conditioners’ are not appropriate but products which provide protection to the finish is recommended.

The Upholstery Leather Cleaner which removes the soiling from the finish & Upholstery Leather Protector, which provides a protective layer to the finish, are recommended for a long serviceable life for your leather articles.
