crema alpina on leather furniture

Crema Nubiana (was Crema Alpina) advertises itself as good for fine furniture. We have some fine leather furniture that could use some conditioner. Anyone use Crema Nubiana to conditioner their comfy chairs? What about Saphir Renovateur? Any reason not to slather this on the sofa? I know the sofa wants it.

Don't have any experience with either of those, but Leathermaster is something some furniture people swear by.

Also, be sure to check what your particular manufacturer specified in terms of care. In some cases using a product other than that which they specify will void any manufacturer guarantees and more importantly may not be compatible with the specific finish and dyes on your leather, which could speed up rather than slow down any corrosion.

I've also had good results with Pecard on shoes, jackets, and bags -- I'm sure they have something for furniture..

I've actually put Crema Alpina on my DWR couch. It didn't hurt it and I think it helped.

The Crema Nubiana/Alpina promotes itself as good for leather furniture, leather car seats, etc., so I can't imagine it would hurt. I am curious about unexpected consequences. One of these days I will probably do the experiment. What's the worst that can happen, right. The Renovateur is incredible on shoes and boots. Not at all sure it should go on the furniture though. P.S. Good online retailer for the Leathermaster?

I've used Obenauf's on my leather furniture and some leather car seats. Works wonders.

Hey Dewey,

Crema Alpina may be just the thing for you -- I just thought I'd put out a few other names to look at as well. The thing I always do when using protectors, etc is to do a spot check on a hard-to-see place. That way you can be sure it won't change the appearance of the thing you're trying to condition.

Not sure about Leathermaster retailers on-line, but I think you can buy it direct from the manufacturer (uniters.com). I've only read about it by doing research for my upcoming leather furniture purchase.

Any advice if the leather is looking rather tired. I haven't been applying conditioning regularly and I've got small kids who are rather rough on the couch. Previously I had put that Crema Alpina, but at this point I'd probably have to put on a whole bottle if I was I was serious. Is that the way to go?

Relative to the size, (1/3 of a beer bottle) Crema Alpina costs a fortune. I'd only use that if I had a closet full of Edward Greens and John Lobbs.

I initially bought this for my RMWs but then applied it to all of my leather products with excellent results. Initially the leather will appear dark but it's only temporary as the leather gradually absorbs it.
