As for our tubs, technicians scrub and use a hospital grade disinfectant as well.

How to care for leather and how to clean leather depends entirely upon what type of leather you have. And remember, cleaning leather is an imperfect art at best. We can break this down into three categories. If you are uncertain about something don’t hesitate to ask us! Pigmented leather is the easiest to care for and to clean. In general it can be identified by its shiny and glossy surface, however there are exceptions so be careful. It requires very little care.

Lederbalsam is made mainly out of bees wax and is natural. It lets leather breath, just like hide food. It cleans, conditions & protects leather surfaces.

We recommend that you use a quality furnisher polish applied with a soft cloth then a light polish. Note, never use scourers or abrasive wipes as these will damage your lectern.

The shoes, clogs, and boots have removable insoles. Remove these and wash the footwear with mild soap and water, then dry with a paper towel. Replace the insoles inside the footwear and you're back in business. To clean the insoles hand wash with mild soap and water, gently wring out, and lay flat on the counter to dry over night. The sandals can get wet but the way to clean them is with a damp paper towel, a handiwipe, etc.

Certainly! But you should wait at least 6 weeks from the day car was painted before you apply anything, including car wash! Soft fresh paint needs time to "air dry" and harden. After 6 weeks you may only need washing and waxing. Polish is usually not needed yet unless the dealer prep caused swirl marks and scratches you'd like to remove. The manufactured date should be stamped on a small plate located on the driver's side door frame.

Not necessarily. First wash and dry the car. If it's perfectly clean and smooth and there are no scratches you wish to remove, don't polish. However, if you aren't satisfied with the shine after washing, the paint may still be coated with dirt or oxidation that's not detectable by eye. At that point try polish in a small area. If you can now see and 'feel' an improvement, do the whole car.

Polish & Glaze can be applied with a motorized polishing machine. We suggest units that use an orbital motion that resembles hand polishing. These machines are usually easier and safer to use than high speed rotary buffers. Polishes tend to dry rapidly when using machines. Dry polish will simply blow off the paint and you must keep applying more. To avoid wasting polish, simply keep a spray bottle filled with distilled water handy. Spray the paint often so the polish stays damp.

Armor All® Leather Care Protectant products are perfect for use on your treated leather home furnishings.

Many leather goods are made from the byproducts of the slaughterhouse, so while you may not be contributing to the destruction of animals, you will be contributing to the profits of these establishments. Some leather is purpose made, i.e. the animal is grown and slaughtered purely for its skin. The Nov/Dec 1991 issue of the Vegetarian Journal has this to say about leather: "Environmentally turning animal hides into leather is an energy intensive and polluting practice.

Yes. PERFECT DETAIL can make chrome look absolutely beautiful while keeping it clean longer than other products. It works absolutely great on glass. It is safe for tinted windows because there is no ammonia in it.

For all "glossy" Taylor models, we recommend a non-abrasive (very important!) carnauba wax or a brand-name guitar polish to rub out minor scratches and to preserve the high-gloss finish. However, our 300 and 400 Series models, two of the four Taylor acoustic basses, our 100 and 200 Series, and all Baby Taylors have a "satin" (non-gloss) finish. On these Taylors, you don't want to use any type of polish, wax, or Murphy's Oil Soap anywhere on the body, because they can damage the finish.

How you care for your pewter depends on the appearance you wish to achieve and maintain. In daily use, pewter was kept bright and polished and many collectors prefer this appearance. Pewter does not tarnish like silver, so a periodic clean with an all-purpose metal (not silver) polish will keep it looking bright.

Michael "IronMike" Huoh on A4.ORG discovered that you can mix lexol with a brand of shoe polish that will make black leather look new again. View this entry on the AudiWorld FAQ.

We need to send all leather garments out to a leather specialist, and so the turnaround time is 2-3 weeks from pickup until delivery at your desk. Please note that leather cleaning is specialized and expensive, and so be sure to check the prices under Pricing and Payment. Garments with even a small amount of leather trim also need to be cleaned by a leather specialist, because the leather pieces would be ruined if dry cleaned in normal dry cleaning solvent.

There are two answers for this. If you do in fact have leather shoes you can say that you got them before going vegetarian or vegan, and that it would be wasteful to throw them out just to purchase new ones. You can also say that next time you go shopping you will be buying one of the many cruelty-free pairs of shoes that are on the market now a days. If your shoes are synthetic then you may want to say, "They're non-leather, but I appreciate your concern.
