Leather Cleaner
Routine cleaner for smooth, solid-colour, pigmented leather. Lifts grime, helps leather last longer.
Cleanse (No.1)
Leather Hero brings you professional-grade products you can trust and it all starts with Cleanse (No.1). A pro-grade pH-neutral leather cleaner for use on pigmented leather (painted/coated) cars, furniture, upholstery, and other pigmented leather goods.
- Removes dirt and grime
- Anti-bacterial
- Fast drying, pleasant smelling, non-sudsing, and easy to use
- Maintenance strength pH neutral cleaner. Use every 3 months or as needed
- Ideal for immediate cleaning of fresh spills (never rub)
- Formulated for pigmented (painted/coated) leathers
- Save $$$ when you DIY with the products the professionals use
Perfectly calibrated for maintenance cleaning
This cleaner helps to remove dirt, grime, perspiration and body oils from the surface of your leather. It won't make your leather greasy, smelly or dry - just clean. Strong enough to get the job done yet gentle enough to use on a wide range of coated fashion, auto, and furniture leathers.
Anti-bacterial
Contains a powerful antibacterial that is proven to kill:
- Escherichia coli (E coli)
- Proteus vulgaris
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA or Golden Staph)
Spray, scrub and wipe
Apply by spray or pour onto a just damp white microfibre cloth. A brush can help to agitate dirt from the grain of your leather. For fine leathers, use a gentle approach with a soft bristle brush. For furniture and car leather, a medium bristle brush can usually be used. Avoid firm rubbing with a cloth as this can remove coatings.
3 monthly schedule
When it comes to leather care, a 'light and regular' approach is key. Use every 3 months or as needed to keep your leather free of deeply ingrained soiling that can eventually stain and damage leather coatings. Regular cleaning helps to prevent heavy grime build-up, and removes invisible contaminants such as perspiration and oils with less effort and better results than a once a year spring clean.
When accidents happen
Often, the difference between a mark and a stain is time. When spills and other marks have time to set in, they can become indelible; permanent. Having a pro-grade leather cleaner on hand to treat accidents when they happen can minimize the risk of nasty stains.
Give yourself the gift of leather that looks amazing and lasts longer with Cleanse (No.1).
This cleaner is a maintenance strength cleaner for pigmented(painted/coated) leather, waxed, oil-pull-up and synthetic leather.
The amount of product required depends on the type and condition of your leather as well as the amount of soiling and time since the last clean.
125ml: Handbag, shoes, jacket, or a few belts and accessories
250ml: Armchair, car seats, dining chairs, or several small items such as handbags, shoes and jackets
500ml: 3 seater sofa, full car interior, 2 recliners, 6 or more dining chairs, or lots of small items such as handbags, shoes and jackets
1L: 5 seater sofa or more, large modular sofa, 10 or more dining chairs, or a 3 seater sofa and a full car interior
2L: A full lounge suite with armchairs and ottoman, a full car interior and extra items, or repeat treatments of a 5 seater sofa
3L: Multiple lounge suites, several car interiors, or repeat treatments of all the leather in a home
Coverage estimates are broad as individual users have leather
that is in different condition and use products on different care schedules. The newer the leather and the more frequently it is serviced, the less product required per service. The older the leather, the less frequently it has been
treated in the past and with an infrequent care schedule going forward, the amount of product needed for each service will be greater. We recommend light and regular care. For some users this will be once every week or two. For others, it will be once every 3 months. In most cases, leather care that is
stretched beyond a 3 monthly schedule requires more effort and can consume more product. Another factor is usage. Some users choose to apply more product per service than others.

If normal cleaning results in coatings disturbance, it is a sign that the original topcoat may be expired and needs to be replaced.

Worked a treat on my beige lounge and beige car seats. No fumes or chemical smells. Dries quickly and lounge looks brand new again! Product was much better than I had expected!
I applied the leather cleaner to our barstools and they look brand new! I am very happy with the results and love this product.
Cannot believe how good this is Bought 500 ml bottles and they each work really really well Product is great quality spreads well and does a very nice job I will be only using this in future
Great Products and lots of information on how to use. Leather couch came up fantastic. Would recommend highly
We bought this to remove the smell of oily hair on a leather couch, it was very effective. Really recommend the product, thank you!
Easy to use, gets the job and kinda gives a fresh new shine to the shoes! Cheers
This is, without a doubt, the best leather cleaner I’ve come across. I just wish it came in bigger bottles!
Good quality and reasonable price
Works. It went very well.
These products totally renewed and rejuvenated my tired, worn in and aged leather earpads! It gave them the brand new look, and the leather is once again soft and supple. But what I really liked about your leather products is that they didn't leave behind any chemical smell, scent, a greasy look or feel after applying it on the leather. What I forgot to do was take a before shot of the earpads before cleaning and conditioning them, which would've shown a massive difference just in appearance alone. Will have to try to use it on my wife's leather handbags, other leather items and the leather car seats! Can defo recommend to others.
Hi Jensen, we're thrilled to hear how much you love our Leather Care & Protection Kit! It's great to know it revitalized your leather and that you appreciated the natural scent and feel. We hope it works wonders on your wife's leather items and car seats too. Thanks so much for recommending us!
Had the op shop buy of a lifetime scouring a beautiful brown leather jacket for $2. I wanted to dryclean it but the cost was horrendous. Luckily it wasn’t dirty or stinky, hardly been worn. So I decided to do it myself with this product. Worked a treat! Looks a million bucks.
Yes! We love an awesome op shop find? We are happy to have played our part in getting your new jacket looking its best. Thank you for your feedback.
These products are amazing & easy application.My second hand chesterfield lounges have a new lease on life . They came up perfectly I am so please with the results the before & after photos speak for themselves.
The photos really do all the talking and what they have to say is beautiful! Well done, Lee Anne. Thank you for sharing your Before & Afters and your feedback. We appreciate your support.
Products cleaned my cream lounge well. But more marks showed up after cleaning. Possibly due to older leather.
Thank you for your review. Sometimes, cleaning can reveal other problems like indelible stains, weakened topcoats and wear and tear that weren't as obvious before cleaning. Scratches and stains can be filled and recoloured using the Repair & Recolour Kit. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
Order was missing an item but quickly rectified. Gamely cleaned bag with Cleanse no1 which improved look of the leather then applied sample Violet sparingly. Blended beautifully and the bag looks brand new.
Great job, Junene! Thank you for your patience re the missing item. We are gald you job was successful.
Great service and helpful advice, amazing result on the leather tint
The chair and footstool look fantastic! Great job.
Good quality and reasonable price
Nice work!
Good product, worked as described. Directions and videos were easy to follow. Would be good in they included a little spatula in their kit. I used this to repair vinyl car seat splits. It’s only been a few weeks but it appears to be holding well. I ordered far more than needed, a little seems to go a long way.
Thank you for the detailed review! We appreciate you sharing your comments and are glad your job was a success.

Hi Tanya, we're so glad to hear the leather cleaner worked wonders on your old bag! Thanks for sharing your experience and for choosing Leather Hero Australia.
I have just restored my old boots, handbags and belts to the Leather Care kit. I prefer to renew rather than replace. The instructions are clear and the results are great. The leather looks fresh and feels soft and strong again. I highly recommend this pack.
Hi Elissa, we're thrilled to hear you're happy with the Leather Care & Protection Kit! It's great to know your boots, handbags, and belts look and feel fantastic again. Thanks so much for recommending us!
My handbag had been sitting outside mouldy and dry for nearly a year. Id tried various other products that just made the mould worse and the leather hard. I thought my bag was done. But this kit saved my bag, no mould smell and happily in use again. Legendary!!
Hi Emma, we're thrilled to hear our kit brought your handbag back to life! Thanks so much for sharing your experience and for choosing Leather Hero Australia. Happy to see your bag happy again!
We purchased a second hand car with leather seats. They hadn't been looked after. The leather care package I purchased made a very visible difference. The leather has been renewed. I highly recommend the three products. Well worth the purchase price.
Hi Christine, we're thrilled to hear the Leather Care & Protection Kit made such a positive difference! Thanks for sharing your experience and for recommending our products. Leather loves a 3 monthly service. Keep it up. Frequent, light care makes for light work and good looking leather.
I am very happy with my purchases from Leather Hero.
I bought the restoration kit to fix up a couch we got for free from some guy on marketplace. It looked so good after the repairs and deep cleaning that I decided to hold onto it long term and get the care kit to soften and protect the leather.
It turned a free couch into a beautiful luxurious couch
We treated our two lounges and other pieces of furniture with the cleaner first then followed with the leather care. The result was subtle and did not change the colour of the leather. It was absorbed and dried on the leather without leaving any unwanted residue or smell. If I was a professional cleaner I would definitely use this with confidence on expensive furniture.
