Over time, exposure to sunlight, heat, and dry air causes leather to lose its natural oils. This leads to fading, drying, and eventually cracking. Leather Goodness replenishes those lost oils, deeply conditions the leather, and helps protect it against ongoing weathering and wear.

Leather Goodness is a premium leather maintenance cream that:

• Rehydrates and softens leather
• Prevents fading, drying, and cracking
• Restores a natural, supple finish without leaving a greasy residue

 

It will keep your leather looking and feeling great for years to come.

In general, apply generously every 6 months to maintain healthy leather.

Application Guide:

Leather Goodness is a premium leather maintenance cream that:

• Rehydrates and softens leather
• Prevents fading, drying, and cracking
• Restores a natural, supple finish without leaving a greasy residue

It will keep your leather looking and feeling great for years to come.

• 1 application every 6 months: Use a full 550ml container for a standard lounge suite.
• Every 3 months (4x/year): Use half the container per application.
• Every 2 months (6x/year): Use one-third of the container each time.
• You can apply more frequently using less product per application.

Consider the leather type:

• Painted or pigmented leather has a sealed surface and doesn’t absorb as much cream, thus it requires less product.
• Drum-dyed or aniline leather is soft and more porous and will absorb more cream.

Tip for knowing how much to use:

Apply a thin layer of cream and wait 3 minutes.

• If it’s fully absorbed, apply another layer.
• Stop once you notice cream still sitting on the surface after 3 minutes.
  Then wait 30 minutes and gently wipe off any excess cream or oil if needed.

Leather Goodness is suitable for most finished leathers, including full aniline and corrected grain leather, but not recommended for suede, nubuck, or buffed leathers, which are types of soft, highly absorbent leather.

You can easily identify these leathers by testing if they are absorbent and soft to the touch, like suede.

These types of leather have had their top protective layers removed to create a soft, velvety feel. While they feel luxurious, they are highly absorbent and much more prone to staining and watermarks.

How to tell if you have buffed leather: Try this simple test.

• Drip a small amount of water on an inconspicuous spot.
• If the water is immediately absorbed, leaving a dark spot or watermark, it’s likely buffed, suede, or nubuck leather.
• If the water beads up slightly or takes a while to absorb, you’re likely dealing with finished leather, and Leather Goodness is safe to use.

Will Leather Goodness damage suede or buffed leather?

Not exactly. The product won’t harm the leather, but it may cause visible darkening or a “wet look” due to the natural oils in the formula. This isn’t permanent, and over time, the leather will return to its original or slightly darker shade, but it may not be the look you want.

In summary:

• Safe for: Most leather furniture, shoes, and bags made from full aniline or corrected grain leather.
• Not recommended for: Suede, nubuck, or buffed leather due to temporary discolouration.

It is uncommon for furniture to be manufactured from of suede or nubuck leather. This is more commonly used for products like handbags and shoes. If you’re unsure, test on a small hidden area first, or simply message us via the WhatsApp button on our website for personalised advice.

If 6 months or longer has passed since your last application of Leather Goodness, your leather is most likely dry and in need of some love. Leather that feels dry, stiff, or cardboardy is ready for a treatment with Leather Goodness. Fading is also a sign of very dry leather. If you are unsure always feel free to contact us for expert advice.

1. Clean the surface
   Wipe your leather with a warm, damp cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. Let it dry before applying the cream.
2. Apply the cream
   Use your hands or a soft sponge for the best results.
   (Avoid cloths unless you’re trying to remove marks, as they tend to absorb too much cream.)
3. Let it absorb
   Allow Leather Goodness to penetrate for an average of 30 minutes, depending on how dry your leather is. During winter months it may take longer.
4. Wipe off any excess
   If any cream remains on the surface after 30 minutes, gently wipe it off with a clean, dry cloth.
5. Done!
   Your leather is now nourished, protected, and ready to enjoy.

Yes, applying too much too often can darken the leather over time due to oil buildup. Stick to a 6-month schedule for generous applications, and if applying more frequently, use less product each time.

Cracking is usually caused by body oils and dirt building up in areas where your skin often touches the leather, like headrests, armrests, or seat edges.

Here’s what happens:

• Sweat and body oils soak into the leather
• Dirt particles from your skin and surroundings enter with the oils
• Over time, this dirt acts like grains of sand, and with movement, it grinds into the leather
• This causes small surface cracks, which eventually tear through the leather

Leather Goodness is designed to prevent cracking, not reverse it. However, regular use will soften and protect the leather, reducing further damage.

For deeply cracked leather, professional restoration is recommended. Please get in touch with us for assistance.

No, Leather Goodness is formulated to fully absorb into your leather, leaving a soft, natural finish. There’s no greasy feel and no need for buffing or hard work. Just apply, wait, and gently wipe off excess cream if needed.
