Usage Instructions:
-
Dilution:
Mix the concentrate with distilled water at a 1:3 ratio (1 part remover to 3 parts water) before use. -
Pre-Test:
Always test on a hidden area. Let it dry fully to assess any potential dye removal, especially on sensitive leathers. -
Preparation:
Ensure the leather is clean. For complex or older stains, do a thorough cleaning and allow the surface to dry completely. -
Application:
Apply the solution using a dropper, cotton swab, or fine mist spray. Blot gently with a clean, absorbent towel. Repeat blotting until no more stain transfers. -
Drying & Reaction:
Allow the treated area to air dry completely. This is necessary for the redox reaction to fully break down the stain. Repeat the application if needed. -
Rinsing:
After the stain is removed, rinse the area using Rinse 3.0. Wipe until you hear a "healthy squeak" — a sign the surface is clean. Let the leather dry naturally.
