Leather Mould Remover
Kills mould and spores on leather and other surfaces. Spray on, wipe off. Inhibiting action controls future outbreaks.
Mould Remover (No.21)
Banish mould from your leather with this effective mould remover and inhibitor.
- Removes mould and mould spores and inhibits future outbreaks
- Free of bleach, chlorine, triclosan and peroxide
- Non-caustic and kills 99.9% of germs, including staphylococcus, e-coli and pseudomonas
- Water-based
- Pleasant smelling
- Easy to use
- Suitable for most leathers, fabrics and other surfaces
Easy to use
Simply spray onto the leather or pour generously onto a cloth and wipe over the surface. Allow it to penetrate then wipe to remove the mould. A brush can be used to agitate into the grain if needed. Repeat with a fresh cloth to 'rinse'. Be sure to have plenty of fresh cloths to help avoid cross-contamination.
Ideal mould conditions
Mould spores are in the air and ready to colonise surfaces such as leather, fabric and carpet when conditions are ideal. Mould flourishes with:
- Warmth
- Humidity or moisture
- An organic food source (such as grime from soiling, spills and skin transferred through normal handling)
- A porous substrate
After mould treatment
To reduce the chance of mould returning, take the following steps:
- Clean with a suitable leather cleaner to remove the mould food source
- Nourish with a suitable conditioner to maintain softness and suppleness
- Ensure leather goods are dry before storing
- Reduce humidity in the storage area if possible
Mould stains
In rare cases, mould can leave stains or eat into leather coatings leaving a frosty appearance. Whilst the mould can be removed with Mould Remover (No.21), recolouring may be needed to cover the damage.
Suitable for use on most types of leather, vinyl and fabric. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.

1) Spray onto the leather surface or pour generously onto a damp cloth
2) Wipe over one area at a time until all areas have been treated. A scrubbing brush can be used if needed. On large jobs, change cloths throughout to help avoid spread mould spores.
4) With fresh cloths, wipe over the entire surface again to 'rinse' and allow further penetration of the product into the leather. No need to wipe or wash off
Launder cloths seperately or discard.
Ideal for: Leather, vinyl and fabric that is affected by mould and mildew
Use with: a leather cleaner and conditioner 24 hours after treatment
Application schedule: As needed
Application method: Can be applied by spray or by pouring a generous amount onto a damp cloth
Best accessories: A soft bristle scrubbing brush, lots of white microfibre cloths
Instructions: On the labels, Directions for Use tab, Tips and under the How To tab in main menu
Drying time: depends on environmental conditions and the amount of product used. Typically 30 mins to a few hours.
Time before use: wait a few hours
Available in kits: No
Tips:
A damp cloth can be used to wipe off mould before treating with Mould Remover
Have lots of fresh cloths on hand
Dispose of cloths afterwards or launder carefully
A brush can be used if it seems to help
Allow apparel to dry before storing
After mould treatment, clean any soiling (organic material, grime from skin, spills, food etc) from the leather. This soiling is a 'food source' for mould. Use a leather cleaner and scrubbing brush (if needed) followed by a leather conditioner
Troubleshooting: If, after removing the mould, there are stains or frosty/white marks on the leather/vinyl, the mould may have caused permanent damage to the leather coatings/surface. To resolve this, recolouring may be needed.
If mould returns, try to improve the environment by resolving water leaks and dampness. Clean the leather very thoroughly. Dry the leather thoroughly using room heaters, gentle sunshine, de-humidifers, or a hair dryer.
Test before use: Always test products in an inconspicuous area first. There are many makers of leather and leather coatings and whilst most are to standard, there may be some that are not
Storage: Lid on tight and away from direct UV light and heat (in a cool dark cupboard). Avoid contaminating the contents with baterial sources including skin

Product works great! Pulled an old leather chair out of storage that had some pretty heavy mould growing on it. I followed the simple instructions and I was able to get the chair looking really good with not much effort at all. Very happy with the results.
I have some beautiful leather saddlebags on my Harley Davidson that I purchased whilst living in the United Kingdom, a very damp and Clement environment to say the least. When importing my motorcycle across from the UK it came with a type of mold, spore on the inside of the saddlebags, which would return no matter what treatment was applied until I tried leather hero. One small 250 mil bottle, a little bit of elbow grease, and one of their specialist brushes, and the mold spores have been removed not to be seen again. I honestly cannot recommend this product more highly. I'll be trying the leather conditioner next!!!
I have a Coach bag that was full of mold, I took it to the store 3 times for cleaning because they offer that warranty service and they couldn’t remove the mold even after 3 times. I bought the mold killer product from Leathet Hero and left my bag like NEW!!! Amazing product!! Thank you so much. I will buy the starter kit to mantaine my leather jackets and bags :)
After discovering my collection of leather and suede boots covered in mould after a long period of being stored I was pretty devastated. Leather Hero saved the day for me. It did a fantastic job in both the leather and suede boots … they’re all back to normal … and it was really easy to use … just follow instructions. Absolutely recommend this product
My two leather jackets grew mould over the humid summer months and were disgusting when I got them out. The Leather Hero Mould Remover was so easy to use and mould was gone so fast. After the jackets dried I gave them Leather Hero Nubuck, Suede @ Anoline Nourish and they look brand new and soft again. No chemical smell either. Excellent products.
Leather Hero Mould Remover is an amazing product. I have been using it for a number of years. It cleans mould off bridles and saddles and boot easily and leaves the leather looking great. I have found it also helps prevent new mould growing. Highly recommend Leather Hero 🙌🙌
I ordered the mould remover and it was so good that I used the whole bottle in a couple of days. My only recommendation is to buy the bigger bottle. It’s well worth it trust me. I look forward to trying the other products in the range.
I love Leather Hero and been telling everyone I know how easy and great it is to use…just wish I didnt have to use it… if you know what I mean !!!
Used this on a leather vest that was covered in mould. It cleaned it perfectly and the vest looks good as new!
Followed the instructions, I removed the mould on my jacket & belts & conditioned the leather. They have come up looking new again
I have a much loved yet rarely worn leather jacket that was badly affected by mould when I moved into a new house. I tried a bunch of other methods to try to get rid of the mould but none were effective. This product actually worked. It’s been two weeks since I used it and there have been no signs of the mould returning. I’m really pleased with the results.
Product works great! Pulled an old leather chair out of storage that had some pretty heavy mould growing on it. Gave Leather Hero a go, mainly because they were a small Australian business and a leather specialty company. I followed the simple instructions and I was able to get the chair looking really good with not much effort at all. Very happy with the results and I’ll definitely be using Leather Hero for all my leather products in the future. Cheers!
I used this on a leather bag that was very mouldy and dusty. It now looks fantastic. A highly recommended product.
After storing leather suite for 12 months there was surface mould on it. Used Leather Hero and it came back looking like new. Great product.
My part time cleaner, an elderly woman called Teena, could not believe how easily the mould was removed after two applications. Personally, I thought the product was a little pricey, though the results couldn't be better, all said, a great product, regard Graeme Pont.
The product worked a treat cleaned the mould right off gave it 2 goes and it made the leather look and feel great awesome product
After a perilously wet summer and mould particles being trapped in my house, my Dr Martens collection suffered and this has helped greatly. Removing the mould and knowing it won't come back gives me great satisfaction.
I have cleaned my leather shoes and bags that had mildew due to humidity with mildew cleaner and then leather conditioner. They have come up looking wonderful and I am hopeful that the cleaner keeps the mildew at bay.
I recently purchased the mould remover for my leather coat. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how well this product worked. I had previously followed the instructions from a well known spot and stain remover adviser but this was unsuccessful.
Worked great on my mouldy black and red leather jackets. Recommend 👌
I followed the instructions and it seemed to work! So far no sign of the mould returning.

Seems to have effectively remove mould from surfaces, waiting to see if any returns over the next couple of weeks. Early indication would suggest it will not.
Thanks for sharing your feedback! We're glad to hear the Mould Remover is working well for you.
My Italian leather boots and a couple of nice handbags have been riddled with mould, and I thought they were beyond redemption. I came across this product via online search, and it really works. The mould and just as importantly, the horrible musty smell have been completely removed from all items, and I couldn't be happier. The mould remover is easy to apply, and I would highly recommend it.
Products worked as advertised..removed mould as so far no mould returning
Thank you, Michael. We are glad that things are on track with your leather mould management.
So far so good
Great! Reach out if you have any further leather concerns.
After storing leather suite for 12 months there was surface mould on it. Used Leather Hero and it came back looking like new. Great product.
Excellent news! We are chuffed to hear that Leather Hero rescued your lounge suite. Thank you for letting us know.
Excellent product. Used 3 months ago to remove mould on horse and cow leather items, with no reoccurrence.
Yes! We love to hear about results over time. Thank you for letting us know that Mould Remover has delivered a lasting solution.
My situation was that I received a used pair of shoes, in excellent condition, however they had a very strong mildew odour. Have tried 'everything' to get rid of the smell; unfortunately, even after using Leather Hero the smell, although reduced, remains. I'm sure this product would work on less intrenched mould odours. Very prompt and helpful advice from the support team!
Thank you for sharing your experience with Mould Remover. Odour removal can be tricky, especially on a multi-component item such as shoes. We are glad the product helped minimise the odour.

Didn’t remove the mold from the leather seats in the car
Hi Deb, Please send us an email at info@leatherhero.com.au and include some close up photos of the mould on your leather so that we can guide you towards a better outcome. Note, Leather Hero Mould Remover is bleach-free. Although it kills mould and mould spores, it doesn't bleach any lingering stains or correct any etching caused by the mould. Mould doesn't always cause damage to leather (stains or coatings etching) but in some cases, it does. When this happens, the best course of action is to kill the mould with Mould Remover, then recolour over the legacy stains.
I used this on a leather bag that was very mouldy and dusty. It now looks fantastic. A highly recommended product.
Thank you for the recommendation!
Excellent product
