Leather Soap vs Leather Cream

Although both products are designed to care for finished leather, they have different roles.

Antiquax Leather Soap is the better choice when leather needs cleaning. It removes dirt and grime while also helping to replenish and nourish the leather.

Antiquax Leather Cream is primarily used to nourish, replenish and maintain treated leather. It is particularly useful as a regular maintenance treatment once the leather is clean.

For heavily soiled leather, start with Leather Soap. Once the leather has dried, Antiquax Leather Cream can be used as a further nourishing treatment.

If the leather has become badly deteriorated, Antiquax Leather Cream should be considered as recommended by the product instructions.
