Leather Mold Cleaner 1.5

 Leather Mold Cleaner 1.5 by Leather Doctor® is a leather-safe solution with a pH of 1.5, specially formulated for cleaning up mold growth on leather, suede, nubuck, and other protein-based materials.

 It is designed for use as the first step before long-term fungicidal treatment with Leather Mold Killer 3.6.

 Key Benefits

 Discourages mold regrowth — The low pH environment helps inhibit future mold activity.
 Strengthens leather structure — Enhances ionic bonding between the leather’s protein fibers and its original tanning agents and fatliquors.
 Safe for delicate leathers — Suitable for aniline, vachetta, nubuck, suede, and other absorbent leathers when used as directed.

 Instructions for Use

 Dilution

1. Mix 1 part Leather Mold Cleaner 1.5 with 12 parts distilled water.

 Application

1. Apply the solution generously to the affected areas using a soft brush, sponge, or cloth.
2. Brush and erase evenly across the entire panel or section to avoid uneven appearance.
3. Ensure thorough penetration on absorbent or porous leathers.

 Extraction

1. Towel extract to remove loosened mold and residues.
2. Follow immediately with Leather Acidifier 2.0 to neutralize residues, balance pH, and achieve a healthy, squeaky-clean finish.

 Reconditioning (while leather is still damp)

1. Apply Leather Hydrator 3.3 to relax fiber structure and redistribute tanning agents/fatliquors.
2. Follow with Leather Fatliquor 5.0, applying repeatedly until the leather is fully saturated, soft, and supple.

 Final Mold Protection

1. Once cleaning, rinsing, hydrating, fatliquoring, and drying are complete, apply Leather Mold Killer 3.6 as the final fungicidal treatment to kill any remaining spores and provide long-term mold prevention.

 Pro Tip:

1. Always test on a hidden area first.
2. Work in a well-ventilated area and wear protective gloves when handling mold-contaminated leather.
