Leather Super Cleaner 4.9 by Leather Doctor® is a super-duty, leather-safe, water-based pre-cleaner with a pH of 4.9 for heavily soiled body-contact areas on Leather, Nubuck, & Suede.
It is designed specifically for heavily soiled body-contact areas (like headrests, armrests, collars, cuffs, and handles) on:
- Leather
- Nubuck
- Suede
Found in cars, planes, boats, upholstery, shoes, handbags, and garments.
It offers stronger cleaning power than Leather Strong Cleaner 4.3, yet milder than Leather Prep 4.4 and Leather Prep 7.7.
Why Choose Super 4.9?
- Ideal when Soft 3.8 or Strong 4.3 is not strong enough, but Prep 4.4 or 7.7 is too aggressive.
- Provides the “just right” strength—a balance between under-cleaning and over-cleaning.
- Part of a holistic leather-safe system: always follow rinse with Rinse 3.0.
How Does Super 4.9 Work?
- Applied and allowed to dwell for 3–30 minutes (or before drying) for complete soil suspension.
- Agitated with the appropriate leather-safe brush.
- Suspended soil is removed with a dry, absorbent towel.
- Follow-up: Soft 3.8 → Rinse 3.0 for pH and residue balance.
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.
- Without rinsing, hidden residues may weaken the leather structure, causing tackiness, dye bleeding, or long-term stiffness.
