Leather Milk Conditioner and Cleaner for Furniture, Cars, Purses and Handbags. All-Natural, Non-Toxic Conditioner Made in the USA. Leather Care Liniment No. 1. 2 Sizes. Includes Premium Applicator Pad

Let me start by saying my grandfather was a shoemaker from the old country - which has led to me being a 3rd generation obsessive of leather, especially boots, bags, and shoes. I've been taking good care of all things leather since I was a teenager so I'm very picky and like to rely on the tried and true..... I've used saddle soap and mink oil for years on all kinds of boots, shoes and bags so when I bought a vintage coach purse that needed some help, I knew I was going to start with Saddle soap. Of course saddle soap works great but the leather was still very dull in color and somewhat dried out looking. While I usually follow up with mink oil on this type of smooth leather I decided to try the "leather milk" here. It really does have a lovely almond smell and it's liquid- so very easy to work with- leather will soak it up immediately. What's amazing is how quickly it brings out the natural color of the leather and leaves it looking bright and supple again- I was really amazed. I could have left the bag alone at this point, but I still wanted to recondition the leather with the heft of mink oil. After letting the bag dry for a day it was still soft and beautiful looking. The mink oil went on without issue and overall I feel like this bag looks like it's been professionally reconditioned.I also tried this on some Ugg boots I wear a lot in the winter. They are black nubuck so technically I don't think this is the right product to use overall for nubuck- however these are well worn black boots and I didn't mind them getting a little darker. The liniment went on easily and the boots soaked up all the good stuff easily. The nubuck looks brand new again. I have a new laptop bag of very fine smooth leather which will eventually need conditioning. While it might darken the leather, I'm sure this product will keep it beautiful for a lifetime.I'm so happy with this stuff I'm going to check out their other products- like water proofing treatment. It looks like they started as a saddle bag company and developed their own treatment with good ingredients that are healthy for humans and the environment.I have to appreciate the humor of the last note on the instructions on the back of the bottle- " to help stimulate our ailing economy, buy and use more than you need". You can't use too much of this, your leather will love it, and I'd be happy to buy more from this independent company.- Update: I just used this product on my partner's gnarly Chippewa boots. If you're not familiar with these boots they are monster slip on work boots with steel toes. He put them on without treating them with anything and proceeded to chew up the front toes and drop all kinds of oil, dirt and junk on them. They were so dirty that I had to saddle soap them first but then after letting them dry the liniment product went on easily and the leather just soaked it up like a sponge. Again- the leather became darker but with all the little oil stains already on the boots, the product evened out the tone of the leather and left it looking beautiful. Not much can be done about the frayed leather on the steel toes, but this treatment will preserve the leather better than anything I've found. I'll put a coat of mink oil on these and water proof them, but the leather milk really brought the life and health back to this leather ! Still a big fan :-)

There isn't more that can be said about this product that other reviewers haven't already said... except that this stuff is MAGIC. Scratches on my leather disappear after application. Even my favorite scratches. Yes, I have favorites. And I'm sure for those of you who love leather, you do too. You know the ones I'm talking about? The ones that you keep inspecting after you get them? Yeah, those. You probably don't call them "favorites," but why then, do you keep checking up on them as if they were a 'favorite' sick friend?When I first started using it, I was somewhat doubtful. I have some very light colored leather products, and I was somewhat anxious about them getting stained a darker shade. Nevertheless, I took a chance, and put copious amounts of this magic liquid all over my light colored leathers (Tobacco Brown from Saddleback if anyone's curious). I figured that if I could get an even coating all around, I'd be 'ok' with it being a little darker. maybe.EDIT: Please do note that your lighter colored leathers may still darken regardless as they age, either from frequency of use (and the oils in your skin), or just being brought out in the sun! This patina is normally sought after!Obviously while wet, the leather did look darker, and makes it a little easier to spot the places that you haven't applied the liniment to. Use the darkness. Let it be your guide. If you are like me, you want to get the stuff into those little folds too. You might spend a little time caressing the bag, smelling this lovely liniment as its being applied to the bag. Sometimes, you might even... place a light kiss or two on the bag. maybe.Anyway, no worries if you get the stuff on your lips, this potion is ALL NATURAL. Drink it mixed in with your whiskey, I did. maybe. By the way, the darkened parts of the leather returned to their original coloring within an hour or so (I sneakily compared it to some spots that I missed... or did I miss them? Is 'sneakily' even a word?). Give it a bit of time to get adjusted. The bag is all confused as to whats going on, the liniment is all like, 'Where am I?" be patient with them. Let them work their magic on each other at their own pace.I also used this on other branded products. One example: My wife loves "Hermes" leather goods. Yeah. One bag is like 800 of my Saddleback bags, and she tells me that I have too many bags. Go figure. Anyway, one day I was messing around with her stuff... maybe. And... oops! Something 'may' have scratched it. I mean, I 'found' a scratch on it. Slightly desperate, I grabbed my Chamberlain's and dabbed it on. 20 minutes later, no marks. Couldn't even find the original scratch (and I tried - there was just too much riding on the line!)! When it dried, it was completely smooth. No splotches, no marks. I didn't even apply a smooth and even layer all around (I was not sure what would happen to the leather, and wanted to 'mitigate damages' as it is sometimes called). Saved my @$$ is what it did. Now, I couldn't say that it would 'heal' deep scratches. But for those minor everyday scratches, you might be surprised! Chamberlain's Leather Milk Liniment No. 1 is basically my 'go to' conditioner whenever I have a leather question. And it tastes great with whiskey! maybe.For those of you who hate it, I'm sorry for you. I hope you can find something you love. I love this liniment merely for the above sited example, and I plan on staying with Chamberlain's Leather Milk for my leather care until my kids inherit my stuff. Then, I'm going to tell them to go with it as well. Yeah, from beyond the grave. My kids are going to go to some fortune telling oracle or something, ask if there is any bit of wisdom that 'dad' wants to tell them, and the oracle is going to say, "He says to use Chamberlain's Leather Milk Liniments on his leather." It will be that creepy.Finally, I trust it. No maybe's about it.For those of you who think I might be affiliated with this company in some way, would I really mention the brand of bags that my wife prefers if I were? Probably not. And I'm pretty sure that Leather Milk representatives would not tell you to drink the stuff either (with your whiskey - though they might tell you to do it with your morning coffee...) maybe.So, thanks for reading my review. Hope it was helpful. Hope that if you ever come across a situation like mine, you'll know where to look!EDIT: By the way, there are great videos on the internet on how to apply the stuff, and what it will look like after. Just search the product name, and I'm sure you'll be able to find your way around! Good luck!

Bought this for my Saddleback Leather backpack. Backpack is around 8 years old and I apply this at least every 6 months or more often if it needs it. This is what was used when new from the factory. No issues, works well and has a pleasant smell. Goes on like a thin lotion. Has no stickiness when dried. Very soft when fully treated. For me it lasts around 6 months which is very durable. For the size of the bottle this is great value for the money spent.

This leather milk worked well on my boots. I was trying to remove stains from tan leather boots leftover from St. Patricks day...green beer and sloppy people was a disastrous combination for my favorite boots. I was devastated when I looked at my boots and saw big green drops all over the feet. I thought they were ruined already and figured it was worth it to try this stuff. Most of the stains were taken out which was a great surprise to me! Unfortunately the leather was discolored in the process, which they do warn you about so be sure to read all the information, and I'm not sure if I will be able to wear the boots again. They are light to medium camel color and after using the leather milk the foot of the boots is much lighter than the leg of the boots. I knew this was a risk when buying though so I am not too upset that the leather color was changed. This weekend I am going to use the milk to make the rest of the boot the same lighter color and see of I can lighten the boots evenly enough to wear again. I'll write an update on how it goes!Bottom line: great product for removing minor stains and conditioning the leather, but for bad stains on light colored leather you may want to look elsewhere.
