leather from damage. - With the label information in hand purchase a cleaning kit. The kit will have all essentials needed to protect your leather. Most kits contain cleaning products with natural oils that help in protecting leather from stains.
- Conditioners also play an important role. The best conditioner is a pH balanced one. This will act as a water and stain repellent and protect leather from UV rays.
