Product Review Lexol Leather Conditioner

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

 

 

During September 2008 we reviewed the Lexol Leather Conditioner.

This product was purchased at retail for approximately seven dollars.

This is a tanning oil based product. The tanning oils are emulsified into microscopic droplets for better penetration.

Lexol’s technical strategy is excellent and should result in a product that maintains that fine leather furniture.

Nice feel and capable of maintaining that expensive leather surface.

Suggested uses are the automotive environment where the leather should be conditioned regularly.

Because this is an oil based product it is not appropriate for any leather that may be exposed to cat urine or dog urine.

Leather Cleaners

There is significant confusion in the marketplace regarding what constitutes a leather cleaner and what constitutes a leather conditioner.

A leather conditioner replaces oils that evaporate or that are transferred from the leather surfaces to your clothes. Over time these oils need to be replenished to keep the leather looking supple.

The downside here is that leather conditioners have a tendency to block the pores making future cleaning very difficult.

A leather cleaner has an entirely different function.

Leather cleaners are designed to clean the leather surfaces without blocking the pores.

 

If you own cats don’t purchase leather furniture.

 

If you own leather furniture don’t own cats.

 

If you own cats and love leather furniture then you should understand the differences between leather conditioners and leather cleaners.
