Leather Shrinkage Restoration Kit S5.sr by Leather Doctor restores alkaline toxicity shrinkage through neutralizing, rinsing, hydrating, and fatliquoring.

- Alkaline substances such as liquid salt, baking soda, desiccant, detergent, saddle soap, or any liquid with a pH above 7 will denature leather.
Kit L5.sr is a 4-step dovetailing holistic system to restore leather shrinkage.
- Step-1 the alkaline toxicity is neutralized and extracted out.
- Step-2 acidifying rinse stabilize leather pH back to 3-5 and charging it ionic positive (+ve) to strengthen hydrogen bonding with the other ionic negative (-ve) tanning agent, dyestuff, and fat liquor.
- Step-3 hydrating facilitates colloidal water movement within the leather to resurface and redistributes the migrating tanning agent, dyestuff, and fat liquor back to place.
- Step-4 diminishing fat liquor is replenished for suppleness and color or finishes is restored accordingly.
