Q: What damages the leather finish or vinyl?

A: Friction (sharp zippers, studs, rings, buckles), dye transfer from clothing (e.g. jeans), sweat, sand and dust, and very often harsh chemicals that are found in common cleaners (e.g. high pH or solvents).

Q: What is most important if I want to protect my leather to look new and stay soft longer?

A: Three golden rules…1. Remove stains as soon as possible.
2. Protect the surface with a proven quality blocker such as Geist. Dye & Friction Blocker which is invisible and highly effective.
3. Don’t use household or ‘all-round’ cleaners.

Q: Why do some textiles discolour surfaces?

A: Because they often contain ‘unfixed’ dyes and ‘effect pigments’ on their surfaces.

• STEP 1: For regular cleaning, spray the product onto a cloth and wipe the surface, or spray Rapid Cleaner onto a sponge to create foam, and work on to the surface from seam to seam allowing it to lift the soiling from the pores for about 2-3 minutes. Wipe off with a lint-free cloth. If needed, leave on difficult stains for longer. For deeper cleaning, scrub gently with the brush included and wipe off using a lint-free cloth or microfibre towel away from sunlight and heat. Extreme stains on vinyl and on colour-fast leather can be treated with the cleaner and left for longer periods, several hours if needed, before working gently with the cleaning brush. Always test in a hidden area for colour loss before cleaning. Poorly or old recoloured leather/vinyl paints can rub off when wet cleaned.

• STEP 2: Spray the Dye & Friction Blocker onto a clean lint-free cloth and wipe evenly. Allow to dry. For maximum protection, apply after every cleaning treatment or once every 3 months.
