Product Overview

 Leather Mold Killer Kit A3.mk by Leather Doctor® is a comprehensive fungicide system designed to clean, disinfect, sanitize, condition, deodorize, and kill mold on leather and suede surfaces.

  Understanding Mold on Leather

 Mold is a living microorganism identifiable by its characteristic musty odor and visible moldy patches.
 It thrives on leather following water damage, exposure to alkaline cleaning products that destabilize leather’s natural acidic pH (3–5), surface soiling, and storage in humid conditions.

 Unchecked mold growth degrades leather by drawing nutrients from its fibrous structure, weakening its tear strength, and, in severe cases, leaving unsightly dark pits that may require physical removal and refinishing.

 Mold Prevention - To prevent mold:

 Maintain leather pH between 3 and 5.
 Apply Leather Mold Killer 3.6 as a preventive anti-fungal treatment, especially before storing leather goods.
 For long-term protection, treat on an 8-month cycle, similar to administering antibiotics to prevent recurring infections.

 Recommended Mold Decontamination Process

An effective decontamination sequence dovetails the following steps:

 Contain and responsibly dispose of visible mold growth to protect health and the environment.

 Erase residual mold stains using Eraser 4 for effective traction.

 (Optional) Perform overall prep cleaning with Prep 4.4.

 Clean mold-contaminated areas using Mold Cleaner 1.5, followed by pH-balancing with Acidifier 2.0.

 Clean general soiling with Soft 3.8, and rinse with Rinse 3.0.

 Hydrate leather structure with Hydrator 3.3 to relax and plump fibers.

 Replenish fats and oils using Fatliquor 5.0 Plus to restore softness and tensile strength.

 Apply fungicide treatment with Mold Killer 3.6 to disinfect and control residual mold activity.

 Condition and protect the surface with Protector B Plus, imparting a buttery feel, rub resistance, and a pleasant leather scent.

 Always test clean with Soft 3.8 and evaluate the result to your satisfaction before progressively increasing the cleaning power to Strong 4.3 or Super 4.9.
 Accumulated soiling may require the next level of Prep 4.4 or Prep 7.7 preparatory cleaners. 
 Penetrated body oil, grease, and sweat requires Degreaser 2.2 and is rinsed with Acidifier 2.0.

 With a pH value of 3.6Mold 3.6 effectively disinfects and eliminates musty odors caused by mold activity after thorough cleaning and decontamination.

 It provides a comprehensive solution to restore and protect leather from mold-related damage while maintaining its natural integrity.

 What is Mold? 

 Mold is a type of fungus that appears as a fine, dusty growth on leather.
 It is often accompanied by a musty odor and thrives in humid or poorly ventilated conditions.
 Mold can cause discoloration, deterioration, and odor issues if not properly treated.

 How Does Mold Damage? 

 Mold damages leather by breaking down its organic structure, leading to biodegradation.
 It feeds on the leather’s natural fat and oils (fatliquor), and protein fibers, causing dryness, stiffness, discoloration, and odor.
 If left untreated, mold can weaken the leather fibers, leading to cracking, deterioration, and permanent damage.

 How Does Mold Growth? 

 Mold grows when moisture, warmth, and organic material are present.
 Leather, being a natural material, provides an ideal surface for mold when exposed to high humidity, poor ventilation, and damp conditions.
 Mold spores settle on the leather and thrive by feeding on the natural oils and fatliquor, leading to musty odors, discoloration, and deterioration if not properly controlled.

 How Mold Control Works? 

 Mold control works by using antimicrobial treatments to eliminate active mold spores and prevent regrowth.
 Similar to antibiotics, effective mold control requires a consistent treatment cycle, ideally every 6 to 8 months, to prevent re-occurrence.
 Regular cleaning, maintaining proper humidity levels, and using Leather Mold Odor Killer 3.6 as a preventive measure help keep leather mold-free in the long term.

 How to Prep Clean Mold on Leather? 

 Mold cleaning begins with removing, containing, and responsibly disposing of mold growth to protect health and the environment.
 Residual mold is further removed using Eraser 4 for smooth leather and nubuck or Eraser 5 for suede.
 The affected leather is then deep cleaned with Leather Mold Cleaner 1.5, followed by Leather Acidifier 2.0 to neutralize residues and restore the leather’s pH balance.
 If mold has caused sinking pit damage, it must be physically removed during the rinsing process.
 After cleaning, re-finishing may be required to restore the leather’s original look and feel.
