Glacier Leather and Vinyl Cleaner with Conditioner and Bonus Glove for Safe, Deep Cleaning 8 Ounce

I must preface my review by stating that I am a woman not known for taking care of my vehicles! In the 5+ years I have owned my SUV I have never, repeat, never cleaned the leather. I also have two young children that are always with me. So needless to say, the leather interior of my car was FILTHY. Think hair products accumulated on the headrest. Think dirt visibly caked onto the back seat. Yeah. It was that bad.Since my particular situation was third-degree-awful, I required most of the bottle to tackle the atrocities that awaited me. As other reviewers have commented, this leather cleaner has a phenomenal citrus scent. It actually made this arduous task a bit more bearable. I initially followed the instructions on the bottle to the letter. The directions stated to shake well, apply generously to included glove, and scrub onto the leather to produce a lather. I followed the process but there was no lather. The lotion-like consistency was nice and absorbed beautifully into the leather. But no lather. Additionally, the simplicity of the directions did not work for the horrendously dirty condition of my car. I needed to use a sponge with an abrasive side to get off some of the gunk that was caked on to my car seats. I also needed to apply and reapply lots of this cleaner to get the job done.(A short side note: I attempted to tackle this task in the warm, south Florida sunshine. Due to the heat, the lotion-like consistency became more soup-like in texture. I found the cleaner to be most effective in this state. I don't know if it was because it spread more easily or because it had become warmed.)In spite of the lack of lathering, this product did a really really great job of cleaning my leather car seats. I did have to utilize more vigorous cleaning techniques, but in all fairness, most leather cleaners are not meant to tackle dirt that has accumulated over years and years. The leather in my car now looks clean and smooth and moisturized. It hasn't looked this good since when I bought it. I wish I would have taken before and after pictures, because the difference was quite remarkable! I would definitely reorder this product and I would recommend it to anyone looking to clean their leather.One nice bonus? Several hours later, that light, refreshing citrusy scent still lingered in my car! My children and I really liked that.

This cleaner has a very, very strong smell. Yes, it smells like oranges, but it's still chemicals, and it's still extremely strong. I had to take breaths before getting in the car to rub it into the seats. Then I had to drive with the windows down for days before the smell went away. It took 2-3 days for it to fade enough so I could even bear to be in the car with the windows up. Also, the skin on the hand I wore the glove on was peeling for days due to being exposed to the cleaner. Very similar to what happened when I used hydrogen peroxide wipes to clean with. And finally, it doesn't seem to have really done anything. In fact, there are now smear marks that I don't think were there before. I plan on re-cleaning with a different product and not using this again. FYI, it took about half the bottle to clean my Subaru Legacy. I wish I could at least say my disappointment may just be because I was starting with pretty clean seats, but this didn't really do anything to the little bit of dirt that was on them.

So, I finally got the time to clean and condition my navy blue leather Hemingway chair. First, I love the citrus scent of the cleaner! So much nicer than chemicals. The little scrubby glove was absolutely filthy when I was done, but it washed right up in the bathroom sink, ready for use on the couch later. The conditioner (a separate product) slid right on the clean leather and buffed out nicely. After a couple of hours, I plopped my bottom on my faithful chair and was very pleased with the smooth clean feel of the leather and no noxious scent. I hope it will do as well on my couch, which is so big I'll probably have to buy new product when I'm done.

It did not work for my purposes --- to try to clean a leather couch. It had a conditioning effect -- but did nothing to loosen any spots. It might be a great product for other uses so I cannot judge. I have tried a lot of home products with a lot better effect but worried about ruining the leather -- my next step is to consult an expert.

not all it's hyped up to be, smells like oranges
