Why you should soften the leather?

Modern leather, or ancient leather, can become hard and stiff with time. If left untreated, it can lead to cracking. Geist. Leather Softener is a plant-derived, anti-ageing oil mixture that penetrates deeply, even on heavily top-coated leather and softens the inner fibres of leather. A wide-spectrum UV filter within the product prevents further damage, and antioxidants prevent cracking.

Leather is made up of a bundle of protein fibres called collagen. With time, they lose moisture and the lubricating oils within oxidise causing leather to harden. When leather is soft, these fibres slide, whereas on hard leather, the friction within these fibres increases. Geist. Leather Softener penetrates deeply and is absorbed by the fine bundles of protein fibres. As the lubrication penetrates, fibres begin to slide over each other again making it soft. Depending on the severity of the hardness, 1 to 2 treatments may be required.

How to use leather softener ?

Test on a hidden area before starting.

Clean the leather surface with a Geist. Rapid Cleaner. Wait until the surface is dry.

Spray product evenly over the entire surface.

Hard leathers can benefit if the Leather Softener is massaged into the surface with a cloth or with the fingers.

Leave to soak in overnight.

Repeat if necessary. Hardening is a gradual process, and so is softening. Several treatments are often necessary.
