Description

The Leather Degreaser is a thick absorbent gel that absorbs oils and grease when applied to leather. A common problem with all leather goods is sebum, which, once absorbed by the leather, gradually turns the leather dark and unsightly, and sometimes even sticky.

The Leather Degreaser absorbs the grease, oil and perspiration, cleansing the problem area completely. The gel form of the product is easy to apply, allowing it to be applied in the right quantity and in the right places.

After evaporation of the solvents, where the leather structure is clear the surface remains white, and where the grease has been absorbed by the leather, the border of the foreign component is clearly defined, yellow to dark brown, and sometimes even black, thus acting as an indicator.

It is very important to remove the grease from the leather structure completely, this process in leather repair is very important. Don't count on high-quality repairs and a long service life of the leather after painting if you skip this step.

The Leather Degreaser also allows you to gently remove biros stains and other dyes that have been absorbed into the leather.

Advantages

 The Leather Degreaser EXPERT LINE grease remover has the following advantages:

• The use of the Leather Degreaser extends the horizon of LeTech's restorative technology, allowing the removal of dirt deep within the structure of the leather;
• The Leather Degreaser increases the agglutination between the leather structural elements and the paint film;
• The Leather Degreaser does not affect the dissolution of the fatty compounds in the leather's structure, which are introduced during the production process, thus preserving all leather's properties;
• Allows for the gentle removal of biros and other dye stains on leather and fabric.

The Leather Degreaser can be used on a variety of leather goods, from furniture and car interiors to clothes, shoes, bags and equestrian accessories. It works on all kinds of leathers, colours and textures:

• Aniline leather;
• Semi-aniline leather;
• Dyed leather;

Instructions

The Leather Degreaser, which is a professional product, requires a specific application technique, as well as an understanding of the product's properties. 

Our LeTech ACADEMY - LeCademy trains you in the correct use of our professional Leather Degreaser product.

1. Before you start removing grease stains from the leather, clean the leather first with the Leather Ultimate Cleaner. After cleaning the leather, you can start removing greasy and oily stains;
2. Using a leather brush or commercial brush, apply the Leather Degreaser to the soiled area and allow it to dry (approx. 30 min.). As the Leather Degreaser dries, it will absorb grease and dirt from the leather. As a result, its colour will change to yellow or brown where there is a grease stain and will remain white where the leather is clean;
3. When the Leather Degreaser grease stain remover dries, it will turn into a powder to be picked up with a hoover or terry towel;
4. Once the grease stain is completely removed, repeat the first step of leather cleaning with the Leather Ultimate Cleaner;
5. Repeat the first four steps until the Leather Degreaser remains white when dry, or until the stain is gone;
6. After all grease has been removed, you may need to refresh the colour. To renew colour, use the Leather Re-Colouring Balm or the Leather Colour Restorer, depending on the type of Leather you are working with;
7. To prevent further absorption of grease into the cleansed leather, use the Leather Protection Cream or the Leather Lotion every 3 months.

Note: Bicast leather can react with the Leather Degreaser, which can result in the leather becoming sticky and unpleasant to the touch.
