The importance of leather care comes down to a simple fact: leather actually feels and looks better when nurtured. With proper care and treatment, all leather can last for years.

Recently, Raven from Aton of Love, got her hands on some of our best-selling Clyde's Leather Care products. We make some of the finest and top-ranked DIY products for all things leather and wood, but we also love to know what people think about them.

She filmed her experience in a series of TikTok videos to find out if the Leather Recoloring Balm, Leather Prep and Deglaze, and Leather Conditioning Cream are worth the hype. Here's how it went for her!

Part 1: The Leather Recoloring Balm and Leather Prep & Deglaze

Aton of Love found vintage pub chairs on Facebook Marketplace and decided to turn them from pink to dark brown. Before using Clyde’s Leather Recoloring Balm, she did a water test, and the leather was non-absorbent!

Now, to get the best results, she used Clyde’s Leather Prep & Deglaze to remove the original finish, making it ready for recoloring.

For the prep and deglazing process, she removed the leather cushions and used our deglazer, dabbing it on with cotton balls in circular motions until the leather became absorbent. This step took a full day, but it was worth it when she saw all the built-up dirt and oil come off.

Now, she’s ready to revamp the chairs with the Leather Recoloring Balm.

• • • • Clean and dry the surface.

      • Apply the balm with the included sponge in circular motions.

      • Let it dry between layers.

      • Cure for 24-36 hours.

The first few coats looked messy, but by the fourth and final layer, the transformation was complete… from pale pink to rich dark brown!

Part 2: The Leather Conditioning Cream

With the recoloring done, she finished the process with Clyde’s Leather Conditioning Cream. Using an old t-shirt, she applied it in small swirls to keep the leather soft and protected for over 10 years!
