Otter Wax leather care kit

3-STEP SYSTEM:

This set contains the complete, all-natural 3-step system for cleaning, conditioning and polishing/protecting your genuine leather goods. Use it on your Nine2five products and all your other leather items, including shoes and bags. Depending on your end goal you can finish the final step with a polish, a waterproof seal, or both. All Otter Wax products are 100% natural and completely free of petroleum products. Follow the steps below.

Step 1: Saddle Soap (beeswax and castile)

Use the saddle soap to gently clean your leather and remove stains. Use a cloth with saddle soap and a little water, and use circular motions to create a foamy lather. Wipe off the white residue and let it air dry.

Step 2: Leather Salve (carnauba and shea butter)

Use the leather salve to moisturize your leather. It restores oils, brings back suppleness and repairs cracks caused by dehydration. Rub it into the leather, just as you would when moisturizing your own skin. A white waxy residue may form, which means the leather has absorbed the moisturizer. Then use a horsehair brush (or a cloth) to buff the white waxy residue until it shines.

Step 3A: Leather Oil (safflower, flaxseed and vitamin E)

As a final step, use the leather oil to revive the natural sheen and give the leather a nice, polished look. Pour a little leather oil onto a cloth and rub it into the leather. Leather oil can be used several times a year, while saddle soap and salve are only needed once or twice a year.

Step 3B: Boot Wax (beeswax and lanolin)

If you’re looking for a waterproof or stain-resistant treatment, boot wax can be your final step instead of leather oil. Otter Wax calls it "boot wax," but it can be used on any shoes where you want a thick waterproof seal. It contains beeswax, which naturally repels water, and lanolin oil, which comes from sheep’s wool. In the same way lanolin protects sheep from harsh environmental conditions, it helps protect leather by sealing in moisture and repelling water and stains. Because boot wax is applied in a thick layer, test it on a small area first to ensure you’re happy with the desired result.
