Leather Degreaser, Oil & Grease Stain Remover

My daughter had one of those Glade plug in oil scented air freshener explode in a bag she brought home from college. Not knowing this, she set in on the couch and it soaked into the couch. It removed the coloring and soaked into the leather. I first tried several other options trying to remove the oil and then re-dyed the couch, which looked good at first, but spots came back. I finally pulled the trigger on this purchase, because of the price I was initially hesitant. I'm so glad I bought this, and very happy with how effective it is. I did have to go over the area four times, but he the end results made it completely worth it. It was easy to use, and a small amount goes a long way. I applied this product to the affected areas and just waited for it to dry. Then vacuumed up the dried up product.

This does work! For the reviews stating it did not work to remove oil stains on leather, they were just not patient enough. We had a nice leather chair with a severely large oil stains on the headrest from dad’s bald head over time. You must apply this thickly. After an hour, whatever has not turned white there is a dense area of oil and you MUST apply another layer over that spot. If the area is not turning to powder you apply more directly on top of that. Leave it at least 12 hours. When it looks like it is so dry if puffs up and cracks you have maxed what that round can do. Wipe or vaccum off and apply another layer. We had such a dark large area I had no hope but after spending 4 days and about 8 rounds of applying it completely pulled all of the oil away and out of the leather. It’s a marathon and not a sprint. I just need to add some leather balm now Then I applied a leather coloring balm to Match the finish and sealed with “Leather Honey” conditioner. Looks good as new!

Product works. As noted, it strips the leather finish so it requires some patience and close observation. Stain accumulated over 20+ years. Followed instructions - applied product, set a timer to vacuum after 15 mins, used a leather cleaner, dry a bit, then REPEAT. I did 4 rounds on the first day, 3 rounds on the 2nd, then once on the last day. While the stain looked even before treatment, the grease doesnt lift evenly. Some of the rounds involved applying it only on the darker parts of the stain. I didnt want to apply too much and let it stay on too long since I didnt want to excessively strip the leather finish. Pics here show gradual stain removal. Our chair has a natural patina and stripping would make the recoloring balm obvious. I recommend the product. The only improvement i can think of is for the manufacturer to have a video with a more realistic stain project (like the stains in these reviews!) with more precise instructions on handling the stripping. Finally i recommend checking what leather you have - check on tags underneath the cushion. Ours is anilene.

Easy to apply with brush, and dried to white powder, but didn't seem to do anything except leave white residue over leather. It cleaned off readily enough with leather cleaner. Product was previously opened and leaking out of container.

It worked pretty good. It does turn dusty white as it dries. I repeated the process three or 4 times. The leather still feels a bit greasy but definitely not as bad. I’m sure it depends how long you let the leather’s dirt and grease build up. Our couch is three years old.

Worked

Really hoped this would work. Following the instructions on the label, this product may have improved the grease stain on our leather chair a little, but it also caused a ring around the stain. In the end, it didn't take care of our issue to any beneficial degree.

This stuff really works! It saved my purse!

This stuff is pure magic! I never write reviews, but the leather degreaser saved my bag, and I’m so happy it did. An antipasti jar broke next to my bag, and literally all the oil leaked out and seeped into the leather (photo 1). At first, I tried home remedies like corn starch, which did absolutely nothing. I didn’t have high hopes for this product, but it worked incredibly well! The first application dried a dark brown. With each subsequent application, it dried lighter and lighter. I followed the instructions in their video exactly and washed the area with their leather cleaner between each round. I ended up doing around 10 applications over two days, so one application definitely isn’t enough for a serious oil stain. It did dry the leather out a little, and the area looked slightly faded afterwards (photo 2), but that’s to be expected after such heavy treatment. Once the degreasing was done, I used a leather conditioner first and then applied dye. I used Saphir products that I already had for my shoes. Honestly, you wouldn’t notice the damage now or give it a second glance (photo 3). I’m genuinely amazed at how well this worked!

This is the second purchase , it has worked well on my sofa, the packaging could be better as the bottle had leaked and had taken away the instruction for use, luckily I had the bottle from a,previous purchase

Wow, we were very sceptical about this, but it has done a great job, and the sofas look great again, the head sweat/grease stains (Sounds disgusting) have entirely gone. The downside are the instructions, very vague in how you use it, even google'ing didn't help. So this is what we did. After multiple varied attempts, this is what we did that worked. Applied it using an old paintbrush (Give it a good coating), within 10mins some areas will dry white and crumble when touched, other parts will stay wet-looking if it's a heavy stain, leave this for 20-30mins. If still wet looking, apply more of the product to those areas over the top of what's there, and repeat until it dries white and crumbles. If it's not drying white after a 4th coat, move to the cleaning bit and repeat the application the next day or once fully dry. Now the messy bit, using a vacuum, suck it all up very carefully so not to scratch the leather. Any remaining product can be cleaned up using a damp cloth. (The vacuum will also need a clean, including the filter) If needed once fully dry, repeat the application of the product. We didn't use anything in between our applications until between the 3rd and 4th application, where we also left it for 24hrs to give the leather a break. Main because the leather treatment we use acts as a barrier, so didn't want to stop the product from working when applied, plus the leather looked fine and there was no sign of distressing or drying out.

Not tried the product as unsure whether to return it or not Protective seal was not intact & product about 1/4 inch if not more down tub I know some was on the lid as shown in pic but still not as full as expected & sure seal should’ve been attached to tub

Totally rubbish, I fully read instructions, cleaned & applied in accordance, once dry minor improvement, re applied a total of 6 more times, with very little difference, given up now. Waste of time & money.
