4. How to Use (Operating Instructions)

Follow these steps for optimal results when using Howard LC0008 Leather Conditioner:

1. Preparation: Ensure the leather surface is clean. For best results, clean the leather with a dedicated leather cleaner (such as Howard Leather Cleaner) and a damp cloth to remove any dust or dirt before conditioning.
2. Test Area: Always test the conditioner on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure colorfastness and desired results.
3. Application: Apply a small amount of Howard LC0008 Leather Conditioner onto a soft, clean cloth.
4. Massage: Gently rub the conditioner into the leather in a circular motion, ensuring even coverage.
5. Penetration: Allow the conditioner to penetrate the leather for a few minutes. For very dry leather, you may apply more generously and allow longer penetration time.
6. Buffing: Using a separate clean, soft cloth, buff the leather to a smooth, supple finish.

This conditioner is ideal for couches, shoes, purses, tack, saddles, and auto interiors.
