Apple Leather Care Leather Conditioner 8oz Bottle

Nice results on a leather jacket. No color change, and the leather softened nicely. Mild odor that went away quickly.

Apple Brand's leather care line is still my favorite, after all these years, so I thought I should take a moment and post a review for their conditioner. First recommended to me by a Franklin Covey representative, far enough in my past to make me feel very old, I have been using this product for almost as many years as Franklin planners. To date, having tried about ten or so of the various cleaners and conditioners out there, I have found that, for basic cleaning, light touch ups and conditioning, the Apple Conditioner, that's right Conditioner, actually works better than anything. For heavier soils, I use their cleaner and occasionally another, but, again, this conditioner works wonders. When buffed gently, with a soft cloth, it cleans. When wiped away and reapplied, buffing gently again, it moisturizes and sinks in. I often leave a thin layer for a half hour or so on difficult leathers that require too much moisture for just one treatment. Of course, this works wonders on my Franklin planner and it has never, ever, harmed anything I've treated with it. For lamb leather, a soft, unfinished leather, I can never get anything to gently clean away bits of discoloration without harming the leather, and so, I go off label and use a tiny amount of this, buffing gently and then wiping away after about ten seconds, on a lamb handbag from about fifteen years ago. I have found that careful application of this product keeps my favorite old bag as clean and supple as it can be, given how heavily I've used it, without ruining the leather. If you need to try this product for an unfinished leather, keep in mind that this product is specifically labeled as NOT to be used on unfinished leathers and remember to try it on a hidden and small spot, to buff gently but quickly and to wipe away after about ten seconds. It will look dark and damaged for a few minutes and then, after about ten, it will have dried to how the leather of your item will look if you treat with this product. I hope this helps you and good luck with your leather care project.

Recent bought a "high end" leather purse that recommended a conditioner. Since the store was out of stock on their brand, I ordered this stuff. Great price, easy application and protects very well. Would highly recommend.

Amazon needs to update the review form to eliminate the sizing requirement, but in any case, here goes. This leather conditioner is amazing. I've been scared to use anything on my designer handbags for fear of ruining the leather, or changing its texture. I read on several designer purse forums and blogs that other women were having good experiences with Apple leather care conditioner, so I decided to give it a try. The most delicate of the bags I own is a Valentino Petale tote bag that is made of full-grained lambskin. It is buttery soft, but due to the delicacy (and bad experiences trying to condition other lambskin items I've owned in the past), I hadn't treated this bag at all since purchasing it several years ago. The handles were starting to crack on the edges and look worn, and I knew if I didn't do something soon, the bag would be damaged beyond repair. As soon as the Apple leather care conditioner arrived, I promptly began applying this with my fingertips. As I was applying it, particularly on the handles, I could immediately feel and see it getting absorbed into the lambskin, but also noticed that it was conditioning without changing its texture or color! As soon as I was done, I wiped off the excess residue (not that there was much excess residue, as the bag had absorbed nearly everything), I noticed that the cracks were nearly completely "filled" in and looked re-moisturized! They were supple again, and no longer looked or felt rough. I went on to apply to the rest of the handbag, and it did a beautiful job maintaining the suppleness without changing color, texture, and did not leave behind any weird residue. I also successfully used this on a pebbled leather diaper bag that has taken quite a lot of abuse, and the results there were also beautiful. I plan to use this on my other designer bags next. I have no doubt this will be able to safely condition any designer handbag.

It's good did the job no problem

By far the BEST leather cleaner

Best leather conditioner!! I baby all my leather goods with it as needed. Never had any problems with it. It’s cheap and works with most leather. One bottle lasts forever :)

Bought this to condition my 20 year old Stuart Weitzman handbag-the kind looks like a cross between doctor (hence stiff double handles) and a duffle (hence 3 compartments). The bag got a 2 in grease stain on the bottom and water stain in a bottom corner plus a few red ink marks on the front. But. The worst part was the dried up whitish fading (instead of brown) on the handles. So I began with wiping it down wit weiman leather cleaner. Then immediately tossed it in my washer along with a white blanket. Then dumped in 1 tide pod. Run delicate cycle, high spin. Then put it the dryer with that blanket for 10 minutes low heat,checked its damness and had to do15 minutes extra low heat to get the interior lining dry. Then air dried on a rack (storage shelf or top of dog crate). It took my bag 3 days to dry. After the wash, the grease stain and ink stain was gone. A few scratches remained. The water stain faded a lot but still there if I looked closely. The eyesore was there still (fading to white handles). While waiting for the bag to dry, I ordered this conditioner. When it’s dry, I applied the first coat of conditioner. Let it dry overnight. The handles still stood out like a sore thumb. Leather still got wrinkles in drier patches. That called for 2nd layer. After this round, handles lost its fading state but not back to the smooth soft look yet. The body looked almost 90 soft and hydrated with a few patches that need more tlc. So I added another layer and air dry again: it looks great now-with certain distressed look from use and time. The product does not stain my leather bag although my bag is aniline leather with barely any finish and a drop of water will leave behind a stain in the size of that water drop in a time shorter than you cam say “god damn it” However...my already-in good condition purses- being vintage or recently brought from TJ Maxx look the same after this Apple brand as they usually would after being rubbed with my standard 2 in 1 Weiman leather cleaner & conditioner.
