Sheepskin Wool Leathery Scent Rinsing Conditioner 4.0 Plus by Leather Doctor® is a pH-balanced 4.0 Wool-Safe™ finishing rinse designed to remove suspended residues, rebalance wool pH chemistry, condition fibers, and restore a clean, healthy, squeaky feel to woolskin, shearling, and sheepskin.
- The leathery scent version is specially formulated to mask stubborn “sheepy” lanolin odors and other unpleasant smells commonly retained in wool fibers, leaving behind a refined, clean leathery aroma.
Rinse 4.0 Plus Key Benefits:
- Residue-Free Rinsing
- Effectively lifts and removes suspended soiling and cleaner residues.
- pH 4.0 Wool Balancing
- Restores and stabilizes the wool’s natural acidic pH chemistry to preserve fiber integrity.
- Fiber Strengthening
- Reinforces wool fibers after drying, reducing brittleness and fatigue.
- Restores Natural Softness & Bloom
- Leaves wool clean, supple, and naturally resilient with improved hand feel.
- Leathery Scent Odor Masking
- Masks persistent “sheepy” lanolin odors and replaces them with a pleasant, refined leathery scent.
How It Works
Rinse 4.0 Plus is designed as the final conditioning rinse following cleaning with Wool Cleaner 5.5.
By restoring proper pH balance, it:
