Royal Leather Care & Colour Eggshell 051 – Pigmented Cream for Leather Furniture

Description

Royal Leather Care & Colour Eggshell 051 – a pigmented care cream for pale leather furniture

Cream-coloured leather furniture looks wonderful for about three years. Then the seat cushions go grey where people sit, the arms pick up the shine of a hundred sleeves, and the whole sofa quietly loses its freshness. This eggshell leather cream is made for that job: a caring, pigmented cream in a soft off-white eggshell shade that feeds the leather and puts the colour back at the same time.

Royal produce this cream in 34 shades so you can match an existing suite rather than settle for the nearest tin of generic conditioner. It suits leather, aniline and semi-aniline furniture, and it works equally well on a leather chair, a car seat, a large bag or a pair of pale leather shoes.

It will not perform miracles on leather that has cracked through, but on a sofa that is dry, dull and patchy it makes a striking difference — and it is far cheaper than reupholstery. If the damage is deeper, a pigmented leather repair paint is the next step up.

Why choose this eggshell leather cream?

• Care and colour in one product. Most furniture products either feed the leather or colour it. This one does both, which is why a tired sofa looks noticeably better after a single treatment.
• A proper eggshell shade. Colour 051 Eggshell is a warm off-white — softer than pure white, cleaner than beige — which is the shade most pale leather suites actually are.
• Suitable for aniline and semi-aniline leather. These softer, more absorbent leathers are easily ruined by the wrong product. This cream is formulated to be safe on them.
• Evens out worn patches. The pigment settles into the grey, rubbed areas on seats and armrests and blends them back into the surrounding colour.
• Not just for furniture. The same cream works on car seats, bags, belts and smooth leather shoes, so a single tin covers a lot of ground around the house.

How to use the care and colour cream

1. Vacuum the seams and wipe the leather down with a dedicated leather cleaner. Anything left on the surface will stop the cream from bonding evenly.
2. Let the leather dry completely, then shake or stir the cream so the pigment is fully mixed.
3. Test on a hidden area — the back of the sofa or under a cushion — and let it dry so you can judge the shade properly.
4. Apply a thin layer with a clean, soft cloth or a soft sponge, working panel by panel in small circular movements.
5. Rub the cream in evenly and wipe away any excess before it dries, paying particular attention to the seams and piping.
6. Let the leather dry, then buff gently with a dry cloth. Add a second thin coat on the worn seat and arm areas if they still look pale.

Frequently asked questions

Will it cover cracks in my sofa?

It fills and disguises fine surface crazing and evens out worn patches, but it cannot rebuild leather that has split through. For that you need a filler and a pigmented leather repair paint.

How much do I need for a three-seater?

As a rough guide, one tin treats a large sofa once, with a little left over for the matching armchair. Thin layers go much further than thick ones, and they look better.

Can I use it on my car seats?

Yes, on smooth leather seats. Test on the side panel of a seat first, then work in thin layers and buff well so nothing transfers onto clothing.
