Leather Cleanser

The Leather Cleanser fills the practical gap between Rénovateur (a conditioner with mild cleaning action) and Reno'Mat (a full stripping cleaner). For shoes that have accumulated salt marks, mud residue, or surface soiling from regular wear without a heavy wax build-up, the Leather Cleanser removes the surface contamination without disturbing the conditioning layers beneath.

Used at the start of the seasonal care cycle — before polishing country shoes after winter or cleaning dress shoes after salt-road exposure — the Leather Cleanser prepares the leather for re-conditioning and re-polishing. It is appropriate as a monthly or seasonal cleaning step: not as frequent as a conditioning application, but not as aggressive as the annual Reno'Mat strip.
