The Colourlock Leather and Fur Wash Concentrate is suitable for washing almost every kind of leather; this can be done in the washing machine at a low temperature (under 35℃), the same as for wool.

Only use the delicates or wool program and do not exceed 35°C (95°F). Suitable for all suede and grain leather, such as jackets, coats, shirts, trousers, folklore costumes, motorcycle clothing and gloves. Also ideal for leather/textile-combinations.

• Depending on garment size add ⅓ – ½ bottle to the machine.
  
• Motorcycle suits or large coats will need one whole bottle. Heavy soiling: soak for 1 hour and pre-treat with a soft brush dipped in concentrate.
  
• Wash with the delicates or wool program at no more than 35°C (95°F). At the end of the wash-cycle, only spin for about 30 seconds.
  
• Remove the wet garment, shake and stretch out the folds. Hang or lay the wet garment on a towel at room temperature away from sun or heat. This can sometimes take several days, depending on the leather…but it’s worth it.
  
• Important: Never dry in a drier or with heat!
  
• After drying, the leather fibres will be stuck together. Pull and stretch the garment into shape in all directions and, if needed, cold tumble dry (inside out), for about 15 - 30 minutes. Do not use heat. Nubuck and suede should be brushed with a soft brush.

Before washing please note:

• Heavily soiled garments or greasy collars, cuffs etc. should be pre-soaked in luke-warm water and the problem areas pre-treated with the Wash Concentrate and a soft brush.
  
• With leather garments of more than one colour, or those made from a mixture of leather and textile, or with a light coloured lining, some colour-bleeding can occur.
  
• Never wash two different garments together.
  
• Always wash the two or three parts of a dress or trouser suit, together.
  
• Fading and scuff marks may be hidden by the soiling and can become visible after cleaning.
  
• On some leather types the dyes have not been fixed to the fibre. Others are coated with oils or waxes. Such garments will be clean after washing but will have a changed surface or appearance.
  
• Loose buttons or too loosely sewn decorative applications must be removed or secured before washing.
  
• Sheepskins with a white underside: Always cut off a small piece and use it for a test. If it becomes hard, it means the garment has been subject to a kind of tanning that is washed out in water. In which cases do not wash.
