The routine
How it works
Three simple steps — clean, condition, protect — to keep the leather you love soft, supple and looking its best for longer.
The three-step routine
Every Totel Protect kit is built around the same straightforward routine. No specialist equipment, no complicated instructions — just a few careful minutes whenever your leather needs attention.
Clean
Foam a small amount of leather cleaner onto a microfibre cloth — not directly onto the leather. Work gently over the surface in light, circular motions to lift everyday marks, dust and surface grime without scrubbing at the finish.
Condition
Once the leather is clean and dry, apply the conditioner with the second cloth. Massage gently so the leather absorbs the nourishment, keeping it soft and helping to guard against drying, fading and cracking over time.
Protect
Buff lightly with a clean, dry section of cloth to an even, natural finish. Allow the leather to dry fully before use, leaving it nourished and ready for everyday life.
Follow the instructions on the product packaging and always patch test on a hidden area first.
First things first
Always patch test
Before using any leather care product for the first time, test it on a small, hidden area — the base of a bag or inside a pocket. Apply a small amount, allow it to dry completely, and check that you are happy with the result before continuing.
If the leather darkens, transfers colour or changes in any way you are not comfortable with, stop and do not proceed with a full application.
Apply a small amount to a hidden area, allow it to dry completely and check the result before continuing.
Suitability
Which leathers is it for?
Totel Protect is specially formulated for high-end, premium finished leathers — the kind used in luxury handbags.
Avoid suede, nubuck and unfinished leathers. Always follow the directions on the product packaging.
Time and frequency
How long does it take, and how often?
The routine itself is deliberately simple — clean, condition, buff, and allow the leather to dry fully before use.
Use when the leather begins to look or feel dry, following the directions on the product packaging.
