People Also Ask:

What is Hair-on-Hide?

A hair-on-hide is a full-sized animal like a zebra or cow with hair still intact. The hide is tanned as suede on the reverse side and is used as a rug a piece of upholstery or a pair of boots.

Why Hair-on-Hide Sofa Dries Out?

When we talk about hide that is drying out, it is actually the fatliquor (fat and oil) content that has slowly evaporated since they are volatile organic compounds (VOC). Placing them facing the direct sun, fireplace or heat source increases the rate of drying out.

Why Hair-on-Hide Boots Rip?

When hide rips easily it could have developed localized dry rot from unknown water damage. Dry rotting is a slow drying process in a relatively warm and dry environment when the tanning fatliquor (fat and oil) eventually dries out from evaporation causing the hide to become stiff, brittle, fragile, and easily rip when accidental stress is put on them. Dry rotting is preventable with periodic replenishing of the dried fat and oil content to keep the hide perpetually soft with strength.

Why Hair-on-Hide Boots is getting Bald?

When hair-on-hide ages with dryness of its fat and oil content the hair follicles lose their holding strength and hair falls out from friction rubs is the beginning of slow dry rotting. Periodic fatliquor conditioning eliminates baldness with increased holding strength. Routine cleaning of soiling and rub-resistant conditioning of the hair reduce breakage.

Why Products in Concentrates?

Concentrate product has an indefinite shelf life, does not freeze, have less handling damage, and save cost on shipping weight. Concentrates in the bottle have to be cut/mixed with distilled water prior to use.

How to Clean, Rinse, Hydrate, Recondition, and Protect Hair-on-Hide Upholstery from the Hair Side?

The answer is from this hand-picked holistic system of products . . .

Cleaner-5.5 and Rinse-4.0 system!

Hair-on-Hide Cleaner-5.5 is a water-based pH 5.5 mild disinfectant cleaner to reduce odors during drying time for hair-on-hide. It cleans gently by penetrating, lubricating, and suspending soiling through a chemical reaction.

Hair-on-Hide Rinse-4.0 is a pH 4.0 value rinse that works in sync with Cleaner-5.5 to remove suspended soiling and also functions as a pH balancer for all hair-on-hides.

Hydrator-3.3 and Fatliquor-5.0 system!

Hydrator-3.3 is a water-based pH 3.3 relaxing conditioner used before fatliquor reconditioning and also used as a surfactant cleaner to remove surface remnants thereafter.

Fatliquor-5.0 is a pH 5.0 ionic negative (-ve) charged micro-emulsion of fat, oil, and water conditioner for softening hide leather when dry.

Protector-B+!

Leather Scent Protector-B+ is a leather scent nonstick rub-resistant protective conditioner for the hair.
