[EN] Why degrease leather before applying dye? | VILOU Guide

Body oils, silicone and wax may prevent a new colour finish from adhering evenly.

Practical steps

On compatible leather, clean first, then place a little appropriate degreaser on a lint-free cloth. Wipe the treatment zone and let it flash off as specified.

Common mistakes and limitations

Degreaser is not routine care and is unsuitable for many open-pore and suede surfaces.
