Chamberlains Leather Milk

Post by Adventure Dog »

I did a search, didn't find anything so I thought I'd post about a cleaner and conditioner called Chamberlains Leather Milk!

I have never used this, but I think I'd like to give it a try. The key difference between them and other leather conditioners is that Leather Milk restores natural oils back to leather, compared to synthetic oils of other conditioners. I haven't done much research into this, compared to Pecards or other brands, but I like using products made from natural ingredients so this is a winner for me (if it works like they say it does).

They have five different kinds of treatment: An all purpose cleaner and conditioner, a straight cleaner, a water protector, an auto freshener, and a furniture treatment. The last two haven't been released yet, so hold onto your leather interiors and sofas a little bit longer.

For those that are looking to darken their leather, this apparently darkens most leather pieces, although I am unsure of how safe it is to use on a leather jacket even though it is a water-proofer.

If anyone gets any, post the result pictures!

I have used the Chamberlain's Leather Milk on my Saddleback briefcase, a Renaissance Art leather book cover and an old leather belt. While none of these are jackets, none seem worse for wear after the treatment. The briefcase leather is breaking in nicely (starting to soften, but, it is far from floppy), the book cover is going strong, and the belt is still in use.

I thought about using it on my Todd's Standard, but, haven't gotten around to it yet.

Any chance of getting a list of the ingredients used in the product?
