Caring For Terracare® LeatherUpdated 4 months ago

Terracare® pull-up leather is quick to develop a vintage-patina due to its unpainted and scratch-sensitive finish - this desired effect will adds a unique character. 

Terracare® leather is scratch sensitive. We advise against using rubber sole shoe grips (spikes) with terracare® shoes, as the rubber may leave marks on the leather's surface. 

  1.  Start by inserting shoe trees. 
  2. Gently use a shoe brush to remove dirt. 
  3. Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dust. 
  4. Alternatively, apply Collonil Organic bamboo cleaning solution. 
  5. Thoroughly spray Organic bamboo cleaner on to the shoes, allowing the surface material to become damp. 
  6. Allow to sit for a moment and then gently brush to remove additional dirt and maintain the leather's texture. 
  7. Next, apply Collonil Organic Protect & Care spray. Always apply the spray to clean, dry shoes. This spray contains nourishing sunflower wax which maintains the materials softness whilst providing excellent protection against moisture and dirt. 
  8. Terracare® leather can also be treated with Collonil dubbin, which contains beeswax to nourish and protect the leather. The grease helps to minimise marks and scratches.
