FAQs - Leather Question

Q - I have a question about leather...I was ill advised (or so I believe) on a nubuck cleaner...my beautiful dansko amethyst spinnabucks look oiled from a conditioner (I should have gone with my gut) and I was hoping the degreaser would save them. Do you have any suggestions? Professional cleaning? Or am I just out of luck? Thanks you.

A - I'm afraid the application of a conditioner to Nubuck makes the oiled look fairly permanent, and our products will likely not be able to fix it.

Here's a hint that the "pros" use: Get some fine sandpaper and gentle sand the area; if your conditioner didn't penetrate too deeply, you might be able to move down to "new leather" and restore your soft surface texture. The leather might lighten, but it would get you back to the texture and look you want.

Let me know if you still want the products, but I'd say they don't give you a 10% chance at any restoration.
