Description

Royal Cobalt Blue Leather Cream 112 – Leather Care and Colour for Furniture 200ml – care and colour for blue leather furniture

A blue leather sofa is a proper statement piece, and it takes a proper beating. Daylight through the window slowly bleaches the arms, the seat cushions rub pale where everyone sits, and the headrest picks up marks from the back of your hair. Leather is a natural material, and like anything natural it needs feeding rather than simply wiping.

Royal Leather Care and Colour does two jobs in one bottle. It nourishes the hide so it stays supple, and it puts pigment back into the areas that have gone thin and pale. Shade 112 is cobalt blue, a clear, strong blue for furniture in that family. It comes in a 200ml bottle and the range runs to twenty-five shades in total.

Why choose the Royal Cobalt Blue Leather Cream?

• Two jobs, one bottle. It cares for the leather and colours it at the same time, so you are not choosing between a conditioner that leaves the fading visible and a dye that leaves the hide dry.
• Supple leather cracks less. Leather that stays supple creases far less than leather that has dried out, and it also copes better with water and dirt marks, which is the whole point of maintaining it.
• Made for worn and faded areas. It is designed for leather that is already slightly damaged or discoloured, which is exactly the situation most people are in by the time they go looking for a product like this.
• A generous 200ml. Furniture takes far more product than footwear does. Two hundred millilitres is enough to work over a full three-seater in thin, even applications rather than running out halfway along the second arm.
• Twenty-five shades in the range. Cobalt blue is one of twenty-five colours, so if you have a second piece in a different shade there is a good chance of matching it from the same range.
• Sensible on new furniture too. Treating a new piece early, starting with the colourless version and moving to a shade later, protects the leather from day one rather than after the damage is done.

How to use the Royal Cobalt Blue Leather Cream

1. Clean the piece first with a damp, well-wrung cloth and let it dry completely. Any dust left on the surface will be dragged around by the cream.
2. Shake the bottle well before you start, and shake it again halfway through a large piece so the pigment stays evenly suspended.
3. Test on a hidden area, such as the back of the sofa or underneath a seat cushion, and let it dry so you can judge the shade properly.
4. Put a little cream onto a clean, lint-free cloth and work it over the leather in rotating movements, one panel at a time.
5. Let it soak in for a short while, then buff the panel thoroughly with a second clean, dry cloth.
6. Repeat on the worn areas if the colour is still uneven, and let the whole piece dry fully before anyone sits on it.

My tip from behind the counter

Do not try to do a whole sofa in one go. Work panel by panel, finishing each one completely before you move on, and you will avoid the tide lines that appear where a half-dry area meets a fresh one. My other bit of advice is to treat the piece two or three times a year rather than waiting until it looks bad. Regular light maintenance is far easier than rescuing a hide that has already gone dry.

Frequently asked questions

Will it cover a scratch in my sofa?

It will disguise light surface scuffing and even out faded patches very well. A deep scratch that has cut through the finish into the hide needs a repair product first, and then this cream over the top to blend the colour.

How often should I treat leather furniture?

Two or three times a year suits most sitting rooms. Pieces in strong sunlight or in daily heavy use benefit from a little more attention, particularly on the arms and the seat cushions.

Can I use it on a car seat?

On smooth, finished automotive leather it generally works well, and the method is the same. Test on a hidden section under the seat first, and keep the application thin so nothing transfers onto clothing.
