Description
Saphir Renomat Leather Cleaner 100ml – a fresh start for tired smooth leather.
Every so often, smooth leather shoes need more than a quick wipe. Layer upon layer of polish, wax, silicone and grime builds up over the years, dulling the leather and stopping your care products from soaking in properly. Saphir Renomat is the leather cleaner I turn to for exactly this job. It is the strongest cleaner in the celebrated Saphir range, designed to strip away everything sitting on top of the leather and take it right back to its natural base.
Where an everyday cleaner stops, Renomat keeps going – lifting off old polish, resins and stubborn marks so the leather can breathe and absorb nourishment again. It is the perfect first step before recolouring, before switching to a new care routine, or simply as a deep clean every few months. A little goes a long way, so this 100ml bottle lasts a very long time. Because it is powerful, it is meant for occasional deep cleaning rather than everyday use.
I think of Renomat as the reset button for smooth leather. Over time, even careful polishing leaves behind a build-up that dulls the shine and stops fresh cream from doing its job. Once that layer is gently stripped away, you would be amazed how much brighter and more receptive the leather becomes – colours look richer, creams absorb properly and a fresh polish really sings. It is especially useful if you have picked up a second-hand pair, want to change the shade of your shoes, or simply feel your current routine is no longer giving the results it once did. Used occasionally and with care, it is one of the most satisfying products in the whole of shoe care.
Why choose Saphir Renomat?
- Strips built-up layers: removes old polish, wax, silicone and grime that ordinary cleaners leave behind.
- Restores the base: returns smooth leather to its natural state so it can absorb care products again.
- Perfect prep: the ideal first step before recolouring or starting a new polishing routine.
- Highly economical: a small amount does a lot, so one bottle goes a remarkably long way.
- Premium Saphir quality: part of the respected French Saphir line trusted by shoe lovers worldwide.
How to use Saphir Renomat
- Always test first on a small, hidden area to check the leather reacts well.
- Apply a little to a soft cloth or cotton pad – you will not need much.
- Wipe over the leather in gentle circles; you will see old polish and dirt lift onto the cloth.
- Let the leather dry, then follow with a nourishing cream or renovator to feed and protect it.
Haico’s tip: Renomat is powerful, so use it sparingly and no more than every few months. On shoes with a delicate hand-patina finish, test very carefully first – it can lift that special colouring along with the polish.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use it every time I polish? No – it is a strong, occasional deep cleaner. Using it every few months, or before a big recolour, is ideal; everyday polishing needs only a normal cleaner.
Do I need to condition afterwards? Yes. Because Renomat strips the leather back, always follow up with a nourishing cream or renovator to feed and protect it.

Dylan van Gerven (verified owner) –
Removes old layers of polish well. A bit pricey though for a stripper that, as far as I’m concerned, is very much like acetone (in smell, at least).

Works fine for removing old shoe polish. Less effective on dark, grimy worn patches. But that’s what you’ve got white spirit for, execrable! 😉
