COLOURLOCK COLOURLOCK Leather Wash Set

• 100 ml Leather Fixative
• 250 ml Leather & Fur Wash Concentrate
• 1x Leather cleaning brush brown

The Leather Wash Set is a combination of color fixative and detergent. The Leather Fixative prevents color bleeding during washing. It is used on all mixed-material items (multi-colored leather or leather mixed with fabric). Lining fabrics that match the color or are black do not require fixative treatment. The Leather & Fur Wash Concentrate is a versatile cleaning agent suitable for the gentle cleaning of nearly all types of leather and fur. It can be used both in the washing machine and by hand. When the recommended temperature and wash cycle duration specified in the instructions are followed, your leather will be effectively cleaned, retain its softness, and remain dimensionally stable without shrinking.

Our products are easy to use, even for those without prior experience. Included in the package is a detailed step-by-step guide that will safely guide you through the entire washing process.

Leather goods, leather clothing, leather accessories

Important notes:

•  
• Heavily soiled or greasy leather areas (e.g., collars, cuffs, lapels) should first be soaked in a hand bath and carefully pre-treated with leather detergent and a soft brush.
• Discoloration may occur with multicolored leathers, leather-textile combinations, or light-colored linings paired with dark leather. In such cases, always use Leather Fixativ.
• Do not wash leather items of different colors together—only treat items of the same color together.
• Existing signs of wear or fading may become more visible after cleaning—this is normal.
• Some types of leather (e.g., poorly fixed dyes or greasy surfaces) may change after washing.
• Loose buttons or appliqués should be secured or washed by hand.
• Hides may harden due to washable tanning—first wash a small piece as a test.
• Professional cleaning is recommended for exotic leathers, delicate tanning, furs, or antique one-of-a-kind items.

Instructions for using Leather Fixativ

• Do not use in the washing machine; use in a tub or bowl instead.

Dosage:

•  
• ½ bottle of fixative to approx. 5–10 liters of lukewarm water (for individual parts)
• Entire bottle, e.g., for a complete motorcycle suit
• Completely submerge the leather item, soak for at least 60 minutes, and agitate regularly.
• Then let it drain—do not rinse—and place it directly into the washing machine.

Tip:

• Test on an inconspicuous area first: Rub the leather several times with a slightly damp, light-colored cloth. If the cloth becomes discolored, the fixative must be applied.
• If the fixative solution does not discolor, you may be able to skip it during the next wash.

Hand wash with Leather & Fur Wash Concentrate

This special detergent is suitable for hand washing all types of smooth and suede leather as well as fur.

Not suitable for open-pored leather

Application:

- Depending on the volume, add 1/3–½ bottle to approx. 10–15 liters of lukewarm water (max. 35°C)

- e.g., motorcycle suit or large coat: use the entire bottle

- Soak leather items for about 30 minutes and wash gently

- For heavy soiling: use a leather brush

- Then rinse briefly with clean water

- Do not rinse completely; residues help maintain suppleness

Surface cleaning:

Machine wash using Leather & Fur Wash Concentrate

Washing instructions:

Important:

- Do not tumble dry or expose to direct sunlight

- Drying may take several days

- While drying, knead the leather several times while it is still slightly damp—this preserves its suppleness
