Leather Rinse 3.0 by Leather Doctor® is a pH 3.0 Leather-Safe Rinse for Removing Suspended Soil & Restoring Leather’s pH Balance.
- Rinse 3.0 is a professional-grade, tannery science–based leather rinse that ensures all cleaning, degreasing, and prepping steps are completed to perfection.
- Just like hair shampooing, dishwashing, and laundry cycles are always followed by rinsing to remove suspended soil and residue.
- Leather care requires the same essential step for true cleanliness and long-term durability.
Formulated at a gentle pH 3.0, Rinse 3.0 not only removes suspended soil but also neutralizes alkaline residues, restores ionic balance, and prepares leather for hydration and conditioning.
