Quick answer
Apply Collonil Bamboo Lotion to clean, dry leather using a soft cloth in circular motions, then buff away excess for a nourished, supple finish.
Why bamboo lotion for leather?
Collonil Bamboo Lotion uses a bamboo-based formula that is gentle on the environment while effectively moisturizing all leather types. It removes dirt, provides moisture, and prevents leather from drying out, making it a versatile choice for regular leather care routines.
When to condition your leather
Condition your leather bag every 3-6 months, or when the surface feels dry or looks dull. Over-conditioning can clog pores and attract dust, so stick to this schedule unless the leather is exposed to harsh conditions.
Steps to apply Collonil Bamboo Lotion
- Clean the leather surface: Wipe the bag with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and loose dirt. For stubborn grime, use a damp cloth and let it dry completely before conditioning. Applying lotion to dirty leather traps particles and can cause scratches.
- Shake and dispense the lotion: Shake the bottle gently, then pump a small amount (about the size of a pea) onto a clean, soft cloth. The pump dispenser helps control the amount and reduces mess. Start with less lotion; you can always add more if needed.
- Apply in circular motions: Rub the lotion into the leather using small, circular motions. Work on one small section at a time, covering the entire surface evenly. Avoid saturating the leather. Uneven application can leave dark spots or sticky residue.
- Let it absorb: Allow the lotion to sit for 5-10 minutes so the leather can absorb the moisture. The surface will look slightly damp during this time. Do not skip this waiting step or the lotion won't penetrate properly.
- Buff away excess: Using a fresh, dry cloth, buff the leather gently in circular motions until the surface feels smooth and looks naturally matte. This removes any leftover lotion and brings out the leather's sheen. Leftover lotion can attract dust and feel tacky; buff thoroughly.
