Effectiveness is dependent on a number of variables including the leather type (finish), the porosity of the finish, the type of dye that created the stain, and how long the stain has been present. All of these factors determine whether the stain has 'set-in' or not. Set-in stains are usually premanent and cannot be removed. Recolouring over the stain may be a suitable remedy.
Manage dye transfer
If you have white or light coloured furnishings or car seats, Transferred Dye Remover (No.15) can be a lifesaver, helping to manage those annoying blue-black shadowy tinge that come from navy and black clothing, scatter cushions and throw rugs.
Easy to use
Spray onto the leather or pour onto a just damp microfibre cloth or spray onto the surface. Use a brush to agitate into the grain. Wipe with a clean dry cloth and repeat if needed. Avoid vigorous rubbing as this action can cause damage to the coatings.
Keep this cleaner on hand
Some leather coatings absorb stains faster than others. When it comes to transferred dyes, time is of the essence. The sooner the problem is treated, the better; that is, before the stain has set in. Keep Dye Remover (No.15) on hand so that you can manage these types of stains as they happen.
Indelible stains
When stains have set in, clean with Transferred Dye Remover (No.15) 2-3 times over 1 week. Any staining that is on the surface will be removed. Any staining that remains, has penetrated the coatings. Refinishing with new colour can help to conceal and refresh the look of the leather.
This product is ideal for use on pigmented (painted/coated) leathers and may be used on other types.
1) Treat one area at a time. Spray onto the leather. Agitate with a scrubbing brush then wipe with a white microfibre cloth to remove residue. Allow drying
2) Repeat as needed
125ml: 3 or more handbags, or several pairs of shoes, or 1-3 seat cushions
250ml: 3 - 5 seat cushions and backrests

Coverage estimates are broad as individual users have leather
that is in different condition, use products on different care schedules and use different amounts of product per treatment.
Porous topcoats absorb stains more readily than less porous topcoats. A less prorous topcoat will require less product per use.
Ideal for: Cleaning new or freshly transferred dye from the surface of pigmented (painted/coated) leathers. May be suitable for use on other types of leather. Test first.
Use with: A suitable leather cleaner, conditioner and protector.
Application schedule: Use when stains occur.
Application method: Apply by spray, gently agitate into the grain using a scrubbing brush then wipe. Repeat as needed.
Best accessories: A white microfibre cloth and scrubbing brush
Instructions: On the labels, Directions for Use tab, Tips and under the How To tab in main menu
Drying time: 30 mins or less.
Time before use: Wait until the leather feels dry; typically a few minutes. The amount of cleaning product used impacts drying time
Available in kits: No
Tips:
Prompt cleaning produces best results. If the stain has set in, it may be permanent and therefore, unremovable.
Use a white microfibre cloth so that you can see any removed dye residue
Leather protector, Protect (No.3) can help minimise transferred dye tinge
Never rub vigorously as this action can remove coatings (no matter what product (even water) you are using)
Note: leather finishes vary; some are more porous and absorbent than others. If the transferred dye has penetrated into the leather coatings, recolouring with leather paint (see Repair & Recolour Kit) can be helpful. In some instances, the dye may resurface or stain the new coatings in time. Where coatings are less porous and absorbent, prompt treatment with Dye Remover (No.15) can completely remove the unwanted dye
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. Do not use if coatings disturbance occurs. If you intend to recolour the leather, continue with use.
Storage: Lid on tight and away from direct UV light and heat (in a cool dark cupboard).

After stain treatment and every 3 months:
1) Cleanse (No.1) to remove soiling, body oil and perspiration
2) Nourish (No.2) to moisturise and maintain suppleness
3) Protect (No.3) to protect from soiling, dye transfer, make cleaning easier and minimise UV damage
Available separately or in kits.

My husband has a leather laptop bag and from everyday use, his Jean’s colour rubbed off on the bag. After some years it started to look tacky. I cleaned it with the leather cleaner and so much dye came off. Naturally it’s impossible for the leather look brand new after years, but the result was amazing! The bag was restored to a beautiful patina. Would definitely recommend this product.
Worked very well on a white leather jacket that had gotten wet and colour transfer occurred. I used it twice on same spot. Black marks are almost completely gone and unnoticeable. Amazing product!
I purchased a Coach bag and it got stained by the fabric of my shirt and the dye remover lifted the stain!
Excellent product Works really well
