How to Apply
Best for smooth, unfinished leather (boots, belts, saddles, work gloves). Avoid suede, nubuck, or patent leather — they may darken or stain. Test first: apply a small amount to a hidden area and wait 24 hours.
Step 1 — Clean the Leather
Wipe off dirt and dust with a damp cloth. Let leather fully dry before applying.
Step 2 — Apply a Small Amount
Put a dime-sized amount of oil on a clean, lint-free cloth. Less is more — too much oil can oversoften leather.
Step 3 — Rub It In
Use small circular motions, working evenly over the surface. Pay extra attention to dry or cracked areas.
Step 4 — Let It Absorb
Allow 20–60 minutes. For very dry leather, leave overnight.
Step 5 — Buff Off Excess
Wipe away leftover oil with a clean cloth. Buff lightly to restore a natural finish. If leather still feels dry, apply one more light coat.
How Often to Apply: Work boots and outdoor gear: every 3–6 months. Light-use items: 1–2 times per year.
Caution: Will darken light-colored leather. Not recommended for suede or nubuck. Always test on a hidden area first.
