Leather Degreaser

Sorted a small stain out really well

Used to try to remove head sweat stain on a leather chair. The reviews were extremely helpful as the one thing I took on board was to persevere which I have. Over 2 days and 10 applications, I wished I could say it was as good as new but it isn’t. There is however some improvement and following use of saddle soap type of cleaner and nourished, left to dry and then buffed up it is reasonable, but then again this is an old leather chair and had years of head stain.

I am sooo relieved that my sofa has been saved after using this product. There was a large oil stain left on my soft leather sofa from a dog bone that had completely dried in by the time I arrived home. I honestly thought this was beyond restoration, but the degreaser really worked!! You do need to be patient as this took maybe five or six applications. The other thing I noted when using it was that you really must clean with a wipe after each treatment to remove the oil that rises to the surface. It looks as though the colour is stripped following the hoover step, but I used a quick spray of furniture polish and the colour came right back. I took photos before, after application and hoovering and then at the end. I’m chuffed to bits!

I bought this to degrease little specks of fat that were splattered onto my beautiful new butter leather bag. It did absorb some grease spots, but it wasn't worth persevering to remove the rest...all carefully placed with a small brush, as it faded the leather giving it an unusual mottled appearance not much better than the grease spots. However, this is one item and it might work better on other things. N. B. Apparently, there is a product available to redress this lightening effect but I won't be trying it for fear of making more of a mess.

Avoid, this took all the colour from my sofa.

Very please with the results

Effective and restores the leather especially when used with leather cleaner and restorer

This is the second purchase , it has worked well on my sofa, the packaging could be better as the bottle had leaked and had taken away the instruction for use, luckily I had the bottle from a,previous purchase

This does work! For the reviews stating it did not work to remove oil stains on leather, they were just not patient enough. We had a nice leather chair with a severely large oil stains on the headrest from dad’s bald head over time. You must apply this thickly. After an hour, whatever has not turned white there is a dense area of oil and you MUST apply another layer over that spot. If the area is not turning to powder you apply more directly on top of that. Leave it at least 12 hours. When it looks like it is so dry if puffs up and cracks you have maxed what that round can do. Wipe or vaccum off and apply another layer. We had such a dark large area I had no hope but after spending 4 days and about 8 rounds of applying it completely pulled all of the oil away and out of the leather. It’s a marathon and not a sprint. I just need to add some leather balm now Then I applied a leather coloring balm to Match the finish and sealed with “Leather Honey” conditioner. Looks good as new!

Easy to apply with brush, and dried to white powder, but didn't seem to do anything except leave white residue over leather. It cleaned off readily enough with leather cleaner. Product was previously opened and leaking out of container.

I was a little skeptical because of the reviews but this actually worked very well. I followed the directions and did three cycles and it took a really bad body oil stain off a 20 year old leather recliner. It does leave the leather a little faded but I used a leather color balm afterwards, as recommended by the directions, and it turned out great. I wish I took some before and after pictures to share.

I bought this to rehab a pair of free leather chairs from Craigslist. I have no previous experience with this type of project and frankly had very low expectations. The project came out so well that upcycling old leather may be a new hobby. I’m over 50 years old and still sought recognition from friends and family for how well this project turned out. Anytime someone mentions they like my chairs, I now subject them to the free find and project story.

Really hoped this would work. Following the instructions on the label, this product may have improved the grease stain on our leather chair a little, but it also caused a ring around the stain. In the end, it didn't take care of our issue to any beneficial degree.
