Avel White Furniture Cream 21 – 250ml Leather Furniture Cream with Mink Oil

Description

Avel Crème Rénovateur White 21 – a pigmented leather cream that keeps white sofas and chairs looking new

White leather furniture is wonderful for about two years, and then the arms and the seat cushions start to look grey and tired. Cleaning alone will not fix that, because what has actually happened is that the finish has thinned and the colour has gone with it. A pigmented cream puts both back.

This white furniture cream is Avel Crème Rénovateur colour 21, and it arrives in a generous 250ml tin. Avel is a French house that has been making leather care since the 1930s, and this cream is built for the job: roughly 57% wax and almost 9% mink oil, which is a very rich formula by any standard.

It is not only for sofas. Chairs, armchairs, headboards, car interiors, bags and jackets all take it, and because the cream carries real pigment it evens out the faded and rubbed patches rather than just conditioning around them. Once it has dried the leather is noticeably more water and dirt repellent too.

One tin goes a very long way. A three-seat sofa plus two armchairs can be treated several times from a single 250ml tin, which makes the cost per treatment small compared with what a professional visit would cost you.

Why choose Avel White Furniture Cream 21?

• Restores white leather rather than just cleaning it. Pigment in the cream fills in the thin, greyed areas on arms and seat cushions so the whole piece reads as white again.
• 57% wax and nearly 9% mink oil. A rich, nourishing formula. The mink oil keeps the leather supple while the wax builds the protective surface.
• Makes leather water and dirt repellent. Once dry, spills and grubby hands have far less chance to sink in. For a light-coloured sofa that is the whole battle.
• A 250ml tin that covers a suite. Enough for a three-seat sofa and two armchairs several times over, so one tin covers years of maintenance.
• Works on bags and jackets too. Any smooth, hard-wearing white leather item takes the same cream, so nothing goes to waste.
• French leather care since the 1930s. Avel has been making this style of pigmented renovating cream for decades, and it shows in how easily it spreads.

How to use Avel White Furniture Cream 21

1. Vacuum and wipe the piece down first so no grit or dust is left in the seams and piping.
2. If the leather has gone a long time without care, use a cleansing and nourishing lotion before you start.
3. Apply the Avel cream thinly with a soft cloth or a polyether sponge, working in small circular movements.
4. Treat one section at a time, a single cushion or one arm, rather than trying to do a whole sofa in one go.
5. Let the cream dry and absorb for a few minutes.
6. Rub it out with a clean, dry cloth until nothing transfers, then move on to the next section.

Frequently asked questions

Will white cream come off onto my clothes?

Not if you buff it out properly. Work in thin layers and rub each section down with a dry cloth until nothing lifts. Skipping the buffing stage is the only way this goes wrong.

How often should I treat a white leather sofa?

Two or three times a year is about right for a sofa in daily use. If you spot the arms starting to grey, that is the signal to do it sooner rather than waiting for the finish to wear through.
