Product Overview

Hair-on Hide Hair Cleaner 5.5 by Leather Doctor® is a leather-safe, mild disinfectant cleaner for hair-on-hide, wool skin, sheepskin, shearling, and feather.

With a pH value of 5.5, it gently penetrates and lubricates the hair fibers, suspending soil through a chemical reaction that’s safe for both hair and hide and most fabrics—excluding rayon and silk. It also helps reduce common odors that occur during drying.

 How to Use Hair-on Hide Hair Cleaner 5.5

Step 1️⃣ Mix the Concentrate with Distilled Water

    • The product is shipped as a concentrate.
    • Mix with distilled water following the instructions on the bottle to prepare the cleaning solution.
    • Using distilled water prevents mineral deposits or residue from tap water.

Step 2️⃣ Inspect and Remove Dry Soiling

    • Carefully inspect the item for stains, wear, or heavily soiled areas.
    • Vacuum or brush off loose dirt, dust, or pet hair using a suede or hair-on-hide brush.
    • This step prevents rubbing dry particles deeper into the hide during wet cleaning.

Step 3️⃣ Apply Cleaner

    • Shake the solution well to activate ingredients.
    • Lightly spray the cleaner onto the hair side from a short distance.
    • Use a soft bristle brush at a slant angle to gently agitate the surface. This lifts embedded soils without damaging hair shafts.

Step 4️⃣ Extract Suspended Soiling

    • Immediately blot the treated area with a clean, dry, absorbent terry towel.
    • Gently press and lift to extract suspended soiling.
    • Rotate the towel to a clean area frequently and continue blotting until it shows no further soil transfer.

Step 5️⃣ Rinse with Hair-on Hide Hair Rinse 4.0

    • Spray Rinse 4.0 over the cleaned area.
    • This step neutralizes and returns the pH to 5.5, which is ideal for hair and hide health.
    • It also helps reduce frizz, static, and keeps the fibers silky and soft.

Step 6️⃣ Groom & Let Dry Naturally

    • While still damp, gently groom the hair with a wide-tooth comb or brush.
    • Let the hide air dry naturally in a well-ventilated, shaded area—away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent drying out or warping.

Step 7️⃣ Final Grooming After Drying

    • Once completely dry (the hair will feel a little crisp), groom again with a slick or wide-tooth comb.
    • This final grooming helps “bloom” the hair—reviving its natural softness and luster.
