Professional Degreasing Gel for Absorbent and Semi-Absorbent Leathers – pH 4.4.
- Remove sebum, oil stains and ingrained grease without damaging
What is it?
Leather Doctor® Absorbent Leather Gel Degreaser 4.4 is a high-viscosity, precision cleaner.
- Unlike conventional liquid cleaners that soak in instantly and leave watermarks, this exclusive gel formula remains on the surface of the leather.
- It encapsulates and emulsifies oils and greases (body oils, contact sebum, food fats) to allow for their complete extraction without saturating the leather's core.
Why is it Indispensable?
Absorbent and semi-absorbent leathers soak up grease like sponges, but they hate water and alkaline products.
Here's why this gel makes all the difference:
- Absolute Respect for the Leather (pH 4.4):
- Tanned leather has a naturally acidic pH (between 3.0 and 5.0).
- Our formula rigorously respects this barrier to prevent drying, discoloration , or cracking of the fibers.
- Zero Deep Water Penetration:
- Its innovative gel texture retains water on the surface.
- The leather does not become waterlogged, thus eliminating the risk of drying rings.
- Gentle Micellar Technology:
- The duo of biodegradable surfactants lifts away stubborn grease without leaving a sticky, tacky or whitish film after wiping.
How to Use It?
For professional results, follow these simple steps:
Preliminary Test:Always apply a micro-drop of gel to a hidden area of the leather to check the color stability.
Application:
Apply a small amount of gel directly to the grease stain or to a clean Microfiber Towel 3.
Product Application:
Gently massage the textured area using a soft-bristled leather Brush 1 or a white towel, making light circular motions. Leave on for 1 to 2 minutes (the gel should not dry completely).
Extraction:
Apply Rinse 4.4 and firmly wipe away the grease-laden gel residue using a clean Microfiber Towel 3.
Drying & Care:
Allow to air dry.
Pro Tip:
Since degreasing removes oils, always continue with Hydrator 3.3 to relax and Fatliquor 5.0 to replenish fat and oil for suppleness in a continuous wet process to restore its original suppleness.
Conditioner 3.2 locks in the Fatliquor 5.0 and impart a non-stick, smooth feel with an option of a classic leather scent.
