Gliptone Liquid Leather Cleaner

Gliptone Liquid Leather Cleaner is a thick, concentrated, pH-neutral leather cleaner specifically designed for heavily soiled and dirty leather surfaces. It's primarily used to safely clean car leather interiors, removing dirt and grime whilst restoring the natural beauty and resilience of the leather. The cleaner contains glycerine which helps maintain the leather's softness and prevents damage to important stitching during the cleaning process.

This leather cleaner comes in a 250ml bottle and offers several key features: it's pH-balanced to ensure safe cleaning without damaging the leather, contains glycerine for conditioning properties, and is concentrated for effective cleaning power. The formula is designed to clean thoroughly without harmful removal of natural oils, making it ideal for preparing leather surfaces before conditioning. It's particularly effective on heavily soiled leather and can be used with gentle agitation using a soft brush.

Gliptone Liquid Leather Cleaner is compatible with most automotive leather surfaces, including car seats, door panels, and dashboard leather trim. However, as with all Leather Cleaners, it's recommended to test the product on an inconspicuous area first, especially on delicate or exotic leathers. The cleaner is not suitable for suede, nubuck, or fabric materials, and should only be used on genuine leather surfaces.

Start by wiping the leather surface with a damp cloth to remove loose dirt. Apply the cleaner neat (undiluted) onto the leather using a soft cloth, then use a soft nail brush to gently agitate the product into the surface and any creases or cracks - avoid scrubbing harshly. Allow the cleaner to work for about five minutes, then wipe off with a damp cloth and leave to dry completely. For heavily soiled areas, you may need to repeat the process.

You should expect clean, refreshed leather that feels soft and looks restored to its natural appearance. The cleaner effectively removes dirt and grime whilst maintaining the leather's natural oils and flexibility. After cleaning and allowing the leather to dry completely, it's recommended to follow up with a quality leather conditioner to nourish and protect the leather. The GT12 Intensive Cleaner is specifically designed to prepare leather for conditioning treatments.

The most common mistakes include scrubbing too vigorously (which can damage the leather), not allowing sufficient drying time between application and wiping off, and failing to test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using the product on non-leather surfaces like fabric or vinyl, and don't dilute the cleaner as it's designed to be used neat. Always ensure you're working in a well-ventilated area and avoid applying the product in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces.
