Leather Acidifier 2.0 by Leather Doctor® is a professional-grade pH 2.0 acidic rinse scientifically designed to restore and maintain leather’s natural pH balance.
- Overexposure to alkaline products (such as soaps, detergents, ammonia, saddle soap, or baking soda) weakens leather fibers, causes browning, dye bleeding, streaking, and tackiness, and accelerates structural damage.
Acidifier 2.0 neutralizes alkaline contamination, restores smoothness, and reinforces leather strength—keeping your investment in premium leathers healthy, supple, and long-lasting.
