FAQs
Is this kit safe for all types of genuine leather?
Yes, the kit is designed for genuine leather, including smooth leather found on bags, shoes, and furniture. Always perform a spot test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility with your specific leather finish.
How often should I use the leather care kit?
For routine maintenance, we recommend cleaning and conditioning your leather items every 3-6 months, depending on their use and exposure to the elements. More frequent use may require more frequent care.
Can I use this on my suede or nubuck shoes?
No, this kit is formulated for smooth, genuine leather. It is not suitable for suede, nubuck, or other textured leathers. Specialized products are required for those materials.
Will this kit remove deep stains?
The Restoring Leather Cleanser is effective for general dirt and light stains. For deep or stubborn stains, professional cleaning might be necessary, or you may need to consult a leather care specialist.
What is the origin of the Act Of Caring leather care products?
The Act Of Caring leather care products are crafted and blended with care in Sweden.
Does the balm protect against water damage?
The Protecting Leather Balm helps to condition the leather and provides a degree of protection against dryness and minor environmental elements. For significant water resistance, a dedicated leather waterproofing spray might be needed in addition to regular conditioning.
Are the ingredients in the kit environmentally friendly?
Yes, the kit includes eco-certified cleansers and natural balm ingredients, indicating a commitment to environmentally conscious formulation.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull after application.
Ensure the leather was properly buffed after the balm absorbed. You may need to buff with a clean, dry cloth until the desired sheen is achieved.
Cleanser leaves a residue.
You may have used too much cleanser. Ensure you are using a small amount on a cloth and wiping gently. Wipe away any excess residue with a slightly damp cloth and allow to dry completely.
Balm does not seem to absorb.
This can happen if the leather is already saturated with oils or if the product is applied too thickly. Ensure an even, thin layer is applied and allow more time for absorption. For very dry leather, a second thin application might be beneficial after the first has absorbed.
Product was accidentally applied to non-leather material.
Immediately wipe off the excess product from the non-leather surface with a clean cloth. For synthetic materials, gently clean with a mild soap and water solution. Test any cleaning method on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This kit is designed for genuine leather products. Always test the cleanser and balm on an inconspicuous area of the leather first to ensure colorfastness and compatibility. It is not intended for use on suede, nubuck, or synthetic leather materials.
Setup & Use:
- Cleaning: Apply a small amount of Act of Caring's Restoring Leather Cleanser to a soft cloth. Gently wipe the leather surface to remove dirt and stains. Allow the leather to dry completely.
- Balming: Once dry, apply a small amount of Act of Caring's Protecting Leather Balm to a clean cloth. Massage the balm into the leather in a circular motion, ensuring even coverage. Allow the balm to absorb for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight.
- Buffing: Gently buff the leather with a clean, dry cloth to achieve a subtle sheen.
Care: Store the cleanser and balm in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lids are tightly closed after each use to preserve the product's integrity. Regularly inspect your leather items for dirt accumulation and reapply the balm as needed, typically every 3-6 months depending on usage and environmental conditions.
