Calibrated for nubuck, suede and aniline leathers
Soft, beautiful, and luxurious, the leathers are referred to as 'unfinished'. That's because they typically have no or minimal protective coatings or 'finish' on the surface. This can make them particularly vulnerable to indelible marks. When spills happen, fast and correct cleaning can greatly reduce the chance of ugly stains. Minimise oil stains from skin and hair with regular cleaning and conditioning. Once stains have 'set-in' they are usually permanent, although, with regular care, marks can soften and become less eye-catching.
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)
Light and regular care is best
Apply by spray or pour onto a just damp white microfibre cloth. Wipe over the leather using moderate pressure. A soft bristle brush can be helpful to agitate the cleaner into the grain. Wipe away any soiling and follow up with Nubuck, Suede & Aniline Nourish (No.11) to nourish, maintain suppleness and leave your leather feeling beautiful.
Suitable for use on nubuck, suede and aniline leathers.

Coverage estimatesare 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.

My husband spilt sambuca on his Blundstones and I was convinced it wouldn’t come out. I bought this cleaner with the hopes that maybe I could lighten the stain a little. To my surprise the stain is completely GONE! I was shocked, I wish I had taken before and after photos! Very impressive and I am recommending the product to everyone!
I have a BMW leather jacket and pants.. Unusually they're a nubuck leather. The leather hero cleaner and conditioner is perfect. Leaves the suit feeling clean and soft. Highly, highly recommended.
I was very worried about cleaning our Nubuck leather couch, it just looks like such an incredibly delicate and absorbent surface, and for this reason it needed cleaning and protecting and nourishing. I've now used all 3 of Leather Hero's products, and can confidently say that they compare very favourably with the expensive US imports I've bought previously, and are an Australian supplier, so that is better for both the planet and my wallet!
I used this product on a badly stained handbag as a last resort before it was going to be thrown out. It worked and my bag is back in use. Very happy!
I restored a faded stained Timothy Oulton Shabby lounge, it’s spent 7 years in a high traffic house with lots of sunlight. It’s came out looking like new and it was easy to do.
Immaculate indeed! Congratulations, Bec on a beautiful job. Your lounge looks very much refreshed. Well done to you and thank you for sharing your amazing Before & After pics.
I had a small sample of Cow hide (uggs outside material sample) and it is like water proof against water on my brown chestnut uggs (just make sure you add a few layers (2-3) of this spray!
Thank you for sharing your feedback!
To be honest, It didn’t really clean my leather chair that well? Perhaps Iv done something wrong when applying it, not 100% sure.
Hi Trent, we're sorry the kit didn't meet your expectations, and we hope this clarifies aniline leather care for our community. There is an important difference between surface 'soiling' (dust, grime, fresh spills), which our Nubuck, Suede & Aniline Cleanse (No.11) is formulated to lift, and 'stains,' which are permanent. Because aniline leather is highly porous, spills quickly penetrate the fibres and oxidize, chemically bonding deep inside the leather where they can no longer be reached by cleaners. Once a stain sets, it cannot be washed out; your best strategy is proactive 3-month servicing (clean, condition, protect) to limit future spills from setting, and using our colour restoration products to conceal or minimise any permanent blemishes.
Unfortunately it didn’t address my issues on my leather couch
We’re sorry to hear the product didn’t meet your expectations, and we appreciate you sharing your feedback.
Because aniline leathers lack a protective top coating, they are highly absorbent. This means body oils can penetrate deeply into the fibrous structure of the leather, often becoming permanent. The Nubuck, Suede & Aniline Care Kit is specifically formulated for regular maintenance and gentle cleaning. While it can help soften the appearance of surface marks, embedded oils are generally not removable with maintenance cleaning products.
If you’d like to explore colour-based restoration options, please reach out to us directly at info@leatherhero.com.au. We’re here to support you.
I bought a CM bag and found out it is a full aniline leather so I got it to take care of the bag. It is so easy to apply them cause they are water based.
Hi Debbie, we're so glad to hear that our care kit made caring for your bag easy! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Enjoy your beautiful leather!
I have been using leather hero for my nubuck leather boots, which are a cool mini platform pair and very goth.
I wear them absolutely everywhere and I'm notoriously rough on my gear.
They're walking with me into every shopping trip, work shift and adventure I ever have.
As a result, my boots are often in need of a good clean and condition.
Leather hero has been absolutely incredible at keeping my boots looking their best. Which is very important as a fashion forward girly and security officer.
I love that I can go out into the world with confidence knowing that my boots will look as fresh as they were when they were new, no matter what I do in them, with a quick clean and condition from these products.
I recently moved house and lost my leather hero bottles in the chaos of boxes, and I decided to buy more leather hero today because I simply can't go without it.
I have used a few of the Leather Hero products now and highly recommend them. The Nubuck,Suede and Aniline leather cleaner works the best of any cleaner I have used to clean up suede and nubuck, even working well on oils and grease marks. The leather softener is also brilliant for vintage leathers that have dried out a bit.
I brought this product for a single application.
My 35+ year old nubuck jacket, that was in need of some love.
Results: all the softness and pliability of the fabric returned.
Great result.
Many Thanks
Hi Warren, we're very happy to hear your nubuck jacket looks and feels fantastic again! Thanks for sharing your experience. Glad we could help bring new life to your beloved piece!
This is a really good product and works well!
That's awesome! Thank you for letting us know how you found our aniline leather conditioner.
I love this conditioner for my open pore leather saddles, heavier conditionrs damage thebleather but this is wonderful. keeps my saddle grippy as well
That's brilliant. We are glad to help keep your saddles looking amazing and lasting longer.
I am having good results using Nubuck, Suede & Aniline Leather Conditioner
Great! Thank you, Josh.
Nubuck, Suede & Aniline Leather Conditioner
Thank you!
Products very good thank you as I'm not familiar with cleaning my suede boots but this products made it seem easy but I may have ruined one of my suede pair of boots with the conditioner when it dried lol. But I'll definitely order from leather hero again
Thank you for your feedback! After servicing nubuck and suede, give the leather a good, vigorous brushing to restore the fluffiness of the nap.
Absolutely awesome product. Will definitely recommend it to family and friends
Thank you, Craig. Glad it did the trick.
I wanted to let you know your Suede, Nubuck Conditioner softened and raised the nap on my 60yr old suede jacket - a very pleasing result. Unfortunately the jacket was put through the washing machine🙁 by a well meaning grandmother 50yrs ago, so it's still very stiff, but the surface looks terrific now. A magic result, so many thanks to you! Great to receive your email and advice Leanne. I'll follow those instructions. Your shop and guidance are so valuable as there's very little leather knowledge out there - thank you!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that our Suede, Nubuck Conditioner worked its magic on your 60-year-old suede jacket. We are always here to offer guidance and advice:)

We’re really glad you gave us a chance — and even happier to hear your couch is looking revived!
I was really worried about treating my Nubuck couch, especially after harming it with trying to clean with a toothbrush, and I'd spent a lot on expensive US imported products to treat it, but decided to try this product after reading a recommendation on Reddit.
My couch is looking hydrated again and the colour is better again, there was even an improvement in the damaged section. I'm so pleased to have found an Australian product which is so good, that I've bought the cleaning and protective packages as well. So glad to have found Leather Hero.
Thank you for trusting us to help care for your nubuck couch!
I have a BMW leather jacket and pants.. Unusually they're a nubuck leather. The leather hero cleaner and conditioner is perfect. Leaves the suit feeling clean and soft. Highly, highly recommended.
Thank you for sharing your experience with our Nubuck, Suede & Aniline Care Kit. It's great to know you got a nice result.
This product has given my Timberland Boots a much needed revitalise. I got a 125ml bottle and I've used the whole lot on my 6 pairs of nubuck boots. They've never looked better. Thankyou.
Excellent! We are stoked that your 6 pairs of nubuck boots are back to looking their best.
Great product. Couch is soft again
So glad your couch is feeling soft and refreshed — exactly what we aim for! Thank you.

Woohoo! Happy to have helped save your husbands boots. Thank you for spreading the word.

It's great to know that Leatehr Hero helped to save another bag! Thank you for sharing your feedback.
I bought this for s pair of old Liberty Black boots that I got secondhand. I cleaned them, let them dry then used the nourish and let that dry then lightly buffed them over. They look like new. I would highly recommend this product.
Nice! So glad our Nubuck, Suede & Aniline Care Kit gave you such a great result on your boots.
I have not used it yet.
Thank you for your review!
The conditioner works well and improved the appearance of my suede shoes.
Great to hear! Thank you for your review, Mark.
It went in, but perhaps I need a re-colourer or something as well. I'm not an expert so I'm not sure.
