Aussie Leather Conditioner

Developed for Australian horseman, Aussie Leather Conditioner helps leather to withstand hot, dry climate conditions. Contains natural beeswax. A must for saddle owners in bitter cold, dry areas as well as those in hot, dry climates. Perfect for use on saddles, tack, boots, gun-cases and handbags.   Fiebing’s Aussie Leather Conditioner is a popular product for conditioning and preserving leather, particularly boots, saddles, and other leather goods. Here’s a general guide on how to use it effectively: 1. **Prepare the Leather**: Start by ensuring the leather surface is clean and free of dust, dirt, and debris. You can use a soft-bristled brush or a clean, damp cloth to gently remove any surface dirt. (For best cleaning practices, use Fiebing’s Saddle Soap prior to the Aussie Leather Conditioner). 2. **Test Compatibility**: Before applying the conditioner to the entire surface, it’s a good idea to test it on a small, inconspicuous area of the leather to ensure compatibility and desired results. 3. **Apply Conditioner**: Apply a small amount of the conditioner to a clean, soft cloth or applicator pad. You don’t need to apply a thick layer; a thin, even coat will suffice. 4. **Work in Sections**: Work on one section of the leather at a time, applying the conditioner in a circular motion. Ensure thorough coverage, paying extra attention to areas that may be more prone to dryness or cracking, such as creases and seams. 5. **Allow Absorption**: Allow the conditioner to penetrate the leather for a few minutes. This allows the conditioning agents to be absorbed into the leather fibers, moisturizing and nourishing them from within. 6. **Buff and Polish**: After the conditioner has been absorbed, use a clean, dry cloth to gently buff the leather surface. This helps remove any excess conditioner and gives the leather a smooth, polished finish. 7. **Repeat as Needed**: Depending on the condition of the leather, you may need to apply multiple coats of conditioner. Allow each layer to dry completely before applying the next one. 8. **Optional: Heat Treatment**: For deeper penetration and enhanced conditioning, you can use a hairdryer or heat gun on a low setting to warm the leather after applying the conditioner. Be careful not to overheat the leather, as excessive heat can damage it. 9. **Store Properly**: Close the bottle tightly and store Fiebing’s Aussie Leather Conditioner in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality and effectiveness. 10. **Regular Maintenance**: To keep your leather items in good condition, repeat the conditioning process periodically, especially if the leather is exposed to harsh conditions or frequent use. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the product label for best results. Using Fiebing’s Aussie Leather Conditioner regularly can help prolong the life of your leather goods and keep them looking their best.
