COLOURLOCK Leather & Fur Wash Concentrate — Specialized Washing Concentrate for Leather & Fur

What is COLOURLOCK Leather & Fur Wash Concentrate suitable for? — The concentrate gently cleans washable leather and fur products in the machine or by hand, maintains suppleness, and prevents leather from becoming hard, dull, or stained after washing.

COLOURLOCK Leather & Fur Wash Concentrate is the professional solution when you want to safely clean washable leather and fur products — from motorcycle clothing to leather garments to lambskin items. While normal detergents can dry out, degrease, or harden leather, this concentrate stabilizes the leather structure, cleans thoroughly, and preserves its natural suppleness. Ideal for fashion, equestrian sports, furniture upholstery, accessories, and all items explicitly declared as washable.

• Gentle Cleaning – Removes dirt, odors, and body oils without damaging the leather.
• Maintains Suppleness – Prevents hardening or deformation caused by incorrect washing.
• Suitable for Leather & Fur – Perfect for lambskin, shearling, leather clothing, and mixed materials.

Cleaning Chemistry & Mechanism of Action for Leather and Fur Materials

Leather & Fur Wash Concentrate is based on particularly mild, leather-compatible surfactants that dissolve dirt without removing the fatty structures from leather and fur. What distinguishes real leather from textiles is its natural fiber structure, which is sensitive to water and temperature fluctuations. The concentrate stabilizes the fats and moisture balance in the material, prevents shrinkage, and preserves elasticity — essential for lambskin, fur linings, and nappa leather. According to the manufacturer, the formula is designed not to "flood" the capillaries of the leather, so no hard edges, wash marks, or stiff areas occur.

Washing Preparation, Dosage & Correct Application

Before using Leather & Fur Wash Concentrate, you should check if the product is "washable" — for both leather and fur. Brush off loose dirt beforehand. For machine washing, select a gentle cycle with a low temperature and low spin speed; for hand washing, use lukewarm water. The concentrate should be dosed according to the manufacturer's instructions, stirred in sparingly, and distributed evenly. During the washing process, the formulation prevents the leather from losing its natural oil structure. After washing, the material should be air-dried flat, occasionally pulled into shape, and for furs, gently brushed to restore the natural structure.

Results, Areas of Application & Practical Benefits

After cleaning, leather and fur feel softer, fresher, and hygienically clean, without becoming brittle or hard. The concentrate is suitable for motorcycle suits, leather jackets, equestrian clothing, lambskins, shoes with fur lining, furniture furs, and many other applications. It is not suitable for untreated aniline or extremely sensitive leathers that are not approved for washing. Especially with fur, the concentrate prevents matting and maintains the natural elasticity of the hair fibers. The result is a clean, well-maintained finish that retains its original material quality.
