The Brushed Leather Care Kit is a complete maintenance set for cleaning, refreshing, and protecting sanded leathers, such as nubuck, suede, Kenya, and Africa leather. These natural materials possess an open, velvety structure and therefore require specially developed maintenance products.

The kit contains Leather Protector, Vintage Lotion, and a nubuck sponge. Leather Protector helps guard the leather against dirt and stains caused by water, grease, and oil. Vintage Lotion cleans the surface while providing complementary protection. The nubuck sponge is designed for light, surface soiling and helps restore the characteristic nap of the leather.

Meijer & Visser Upholstery recommends the Brushed Leather Care Kit for the periodic maintenance of suitable sanded leathers. By regularly brushing nubuck and suede, keeping it dust-free, and re-impregnating it, the material remains fresh and well-cared-for over time.

Is the leather severely discolored, worn bare, torn, or permanently damaged? A maintenance kit cannot repair structural damage. Check out the options for having leather furniture re-upholstered by Meijer & Visser Upholstery.

Which leather types is the kit suitable for?

The Brushed Leather Care Kit is specifically intended for leather types featuring a sanded, brushed, or velvety surface. These materials lack a fully sealed protective layer, making them more prone to absorbing moisture, grease, and dirt.

  • Nubuck

  • Suede

  • Kenya leather

  • Africa leather

  • Sanded furniture leather

  • Brushed leather

  • Leather with a velvety nap

  • Sofas and armchairs made of suitable nubuck

  • Chairs upholstered in suitable suede or nubuck

The exact finish can vary depending on the manufacturer. Always test each product on a small, inconspicuous area first and evaluate the result only after the test spot has dried completely.

What is sanded leather?

Sanded leather features a lightly abraded surface that creates a soft, matte, and velvety texture. Nubuck is typically sanded on the grain side of the hide, whereas suede is generally produced from the flesh side.

Due to its open structure, sanded leather boasts a natural and luxurious appearance, but it is also more sensitive to moisture, oil, dust, and color variation. Standard leather creams and oils are generally unsuitable for these materials.

What does Leather Protector do?

Leather Protector forms a protective impregnation layer around the fibers of the leather. This prevents dirt from bonding to the surface or penetrating deeply into the fiber structure.

The product protects against stains caused by water, grease, and oil. While it does not render the material completely waterproof or stain-proof, it provides vital extra time to safely blot away spilled liquids and dirt.

Instructions for Use: Leather Protector

  1. Ensure the leather is clean, dust-free, and completely dry.

  2. Verify colorfastness.

  3. Test the product on an inconspicuous spot first.

  4. Allow the test area to dry completely and inspect for color changes.

  5. Do not proceed if color rubs off during the test.

  6. Hold the aerosol can upright.

  7. Spray from a distance of approximately 20 to 30 centimeters.

  8. Apply in calm, even strokes.

  9. Avoid over-saturating specific spots.

  10. Allow the treated leather to dry for approximately 12 hours.

  11. Only resume using the furniture once the surface is thoroughly dry.

Why spray from a distance of 20 to 30 centimeters?

Holding the aerosol can 20 to 30 centimeters away ensures an even mist distribution across the surface. Spraying too closely can cause wet spots, drips, or uneven color distribution.

Always spray in steady overlapping passes and keep the can in motion. It is better to apply multiple thin coats than one heavy, wet coat.

Drying Time of Approximately 12 Hours

Leather Protector has an average drying time of roughly 12 hours. The exact drying duration may vary based on ambient temperature, humidity, ventilation, and the amount of product applied.

Ensure proper ventilation during the drying process. Do not sit on the furniture or place cushions, throws, or other items on the treated surface until it has dried completely.

How much leather can be treated with Leather Protector?

The contents of the included aerosol can are sufficient to cover approximately 5 to 6 mยฒ, depending on the texture and absorbency of the leather as well as the application technique.

Highly absorbent leathers may require more product. However, avoid over-saturation, as excessive wetness can cause staining or uneven drying.

How often should Leather Protector be used?

We recommend re-applying Leather Protector to suitable sanded leathers approximately every six months. High-use furniture may require more frequent re-application.

Always clean and brush the surface before applying a new protective coat. The protector must always be applied to clean, dry leather.

What does Vintage Lotion do?

Vintage Lotion is designed to clean and refresh suitable sanded leathers. The product helps lift light soil and stains while providing an additional layer of protection.

Because nubuck and suede can react sensitively to moisture and friction, Vintage Lotion must be applied gently and evenly. Always perform a preliminary test spot.

Instructions for Use: Vintage Lotion

  1. Test the lotion on an inconspicuous spot first.

  2. Check for colorfastness and surface compatibility.

  3. Allow the test area to dry completely before evaluating.

  4. Spray Vintage Lotion onto a clean, white, lint-free cloth or terry washcloth.

  5. Avoid spraying large amounts directly onto the leather.

  6. Clean the surface using a flat hand.

  7. Work in gentle, circular motions.

  8. Regularly rotate to a clean section of the cloth.

  9. Avoid rubbing hard or repeatedly in one spot.

  10. Allow the leather to dry completely.

  11. If desired, lightly restore the nap after drying using a soft brush or a dry white terry cloth.

Why use a white cloth?

Using a clean white cloth eliminates the risk of transferring dyes from the cloth onto the leather. Additionally, a white cloth allows you to clearly monitor how much soil or color is being lifted from the surface.

Always use a clean cloth and fold it frequently. This prevents lifted dirt from being re-deposited onto the furniture.

Do not rub hard on nubuck or suede

Forceful rubbing can flatten, damage, or permanently alter the direction of the nap. It can also create light or dark friction spots.

Always use gentle motions and light pressure. Let the product and the cloth do the work, and treat complete sections at a time.

What does the nubuck sponge do?

The nubuck sponge is used to remove light, dry surface dirt. Furthermore, it gently lifts flattened fibers to restore the signature velvety nap.

The sponge is particularly suited for routine maintenance on seating areas, armrests, and other spots where the nap has flattened from daily use.

Instructions for Use: Nubuck Sponge

  1. Ensure the leather is completely dry.

  2. First remove loose dust using a soft vacuum brush attachment.

  3. Gently brush the surface using the nubuck sponge.

  4. Use calm motions and minimal pressure.

  5. Continue until surface dust and soil are reduced.

  6. Brush the fibers in a uniform direction.

  7. Verify that the velvety appearance has been restored.

  8. If necessary, follow up by treating the leather with Leather Protector.

Protect New Sanded Leather Immediately

New nubuck, suede, or similar sanded leathers should ideally be impregnated with Leather Protector right away. Early treatment prevents moisture, oil, and dirt from rapidly penetrating the open fiber structure.

Always perform a test spot on new leather as well. Being brand new does not automatically guarantee that every finish is completely colorfast or compatible with impregnation treatments.

Treating Existing Nubuck or Suede

Existing leather should first be inspected and dusted. Next, gently brush the surface in circular motions using the nubuck sponge to raise the nap.

Address any noticeable spots using Vintage Lotion. Allow the leather to dry thoroughly, then impregnate the surface with Leather Protector.

Weekly Vacuuming

Due to its open texture, sanded leather easily traps dust and fine particle debris. Vacuum the material weekly using a soft furniture brush attachment.

Use a low suction setting and move smoothly across the surface. Avoid hard plastic edges that could scratch or leave pressure marks on the leather.

Monthly Treatment with the Nubuck Sponge

We advise gently treating the leather with the nubuck sponge at least once a month. This keeps light soil under control and prevents fibers from remaining permanently flat.

Regular, light maintenance is far more effective than waiting until the leather becomes heavily soiled or completely flattened.

Maintenance Schedule for Nubuck and Suede

  • Vacuuming: Weekly, using a soft brush attachment

  • Using Nubuck Sponge: At least once a month

  • Cleaning Stains: As needed, using Vintage Lotion

  • Impregnating: Approximately every six months

Maintaining a Nubuck Sofa

Thoroughly vacuum the sofa first using a soft brush attachment. Pay special attention to seams, folds, armrests, headrests, and the spaces between loose seat cushions.

Next, gently brush the surface with the nubuck sponge to raise the nap. Clean any stains with Vintage Lotion and allow the leather to dry completely.

Finally, spray Leather Protector evenly across the surface and let the sofa dry for approximately 12 hours. Do not use the furniture during this drying period.

Treating Stains on Nubuck and Suede

Gently blot fresh liquid spills immediately using a clean, white, absorbent cloth. Never rub, as rubbing forces the liquid deeper into the fibers.

Allow wet spots to air-dry naturally; do not use a hairdryer or direct heat source. Once dry, gently brush the area with the nubuck sponge.

For residual dirt, Vintage Lotion may be used. Whenever possible, treat an entire panel or section to prevent water rings or localized color variations.

Why does Meijer & Visser Upholstery recommend this kit?

At Meijer & Visser Upholstery, we work with many different types of leather daily. Nubuck, suede, and similar sanded leathers feature a beautiful aesthetic, but they are inherently more vulnerable to dirt than smooth, sealed leathers.

We recommend the Brushed Leather Care Kit because it combines all essential care steps: dry cleaning and nap-raising with the nubuck sponge, targeted cleaning with Vintage Lotion, and long-lasting protection with Leather Protector.

Proper care extends the lifespan of the furniture, but it cannot repair tears, bare patches, permanent discoloration, or severely damaged fibers.

Important Points of Attention

  • Always test all products on an inconspicuous area first.

  • Evaluate the result only after the leather has dried completely.

  • Do not proceed if color transfers onto the cloth during testing.

  • Apply Leather Protector only to clean, dry leather.

  • Hold the aerosol can upright.

  • Spray from a distance of approximately 20 to 30 centimeters.

  • Avoid over-saturation.

  • Allow Leather Protector to dry for approximately 12 hours.

  • Prefer applying Vintage Lotion onto a white cloth rather than directly on the leather.

  • Do not rub hard on nubuck or suede.

  • Use the nubuck sponge with light pressure only.

  • Vacuum the leather weekly using a soft brush attachment.

  • Treat the leather with the nubuck sponge at least once a month.

  • Re-impregnate the leather approximately every six months.

  • Always follow the instructions on the product packaging.

Tip from Meijer & Visser Upholstery

Treat complete furniture sections (e.g., an entire seat cushion, backrest, or armrest) rather than small isolated spots. This ensures the color depth and nap remain as uniform as possible.

After drying, gently brush all fibers in the same direction. This gives the furniture a smooth, well-groomed appearance.
