This spring, we bought a new family car to fit our growing needs. Now that the girls are getting older, they are both wanting to bring a friend on all of our weekend adventures. Crazy that teens don't want to hang with just their parents these days, right!? Toting around 6 people in a car all weekend long can sure put some wear and tear on the interior, which means I have my work cut out for me if I want to keep my car looking new as long as possible. 

Of course, my love of the beach is no secret. We are there every weekend, and go some week nights too, usually staying until sundown.

You can imagine how nasty the car gets at the end of the day with 6 people dragging in sand. Then it gets even messier with the snacks they eat on the ride home. Look at this- sand all over the floor and stuck in the seats, and who knows what those white smudges are all over the leather.

I give the car a good scrub down each week, and rely on the best products I can find to keep my leather in top notch condition. I recently came across Leather Honey Leather Cleaner and Leather Honey Leather Conditioner, and since the conditioner is ranked as a #1 seller on Amazon, I really wanted to put it to the test on my messy car.

Leather Honey has been providing premium leather care products since 1968. Use each on all types of leather, excluding suede, to clean, protect, and keep your leather looking newer and lasting longer.

The Leather Honey Leather Cleaner comes in a concentrated 4 ounce bottle. When mixed with water, you get up to 32 ounces of cleaner. Per the instructions, I mixed 1 cup of water with 2 tablespoons of the cleaner into an empty spray bottle. Spray onto leather, let sit for a few seconds, then wipe up in a circular motion with a clean, dry cloth.

The Leather Honey Leather Conditioner is used after the cleaner. It is non-toxic, water repellant, controls mildew and leaves no oily residue. Pour a small amount onto a lint-free cloth, and gently rub into leather. Let sit to absorb for at least 2 hours (preferably over night) then wipe off excess. Now, this conditioner is thick, so you don't want to pour out too much at once. I poured a quarter sized dollop onto my cloth to start with, which covered the entire back of one car seat, then worked my way down from there, adding a little more each time.

How did it perform?

Really well! The cleaner did a great job of pulling the dirt from the leather. It dried quickly and didn't leave any sticky or oily residue behind. At first, the conditioner was a little difficult for me to spread onto the seats with my cloth, but once I got the hang of working with the thickness of the product, it went a lot smoother. After it dried, it left my leather seats feeling so soft and left them with that new car shine from when we first bought it. I was pleased it didn't feel oily or greasy, and didn't leave any scent behind either. Since we have a lot of wet bathing suits and beach towels in the car constantly, I absolutely love that it is water repellent. The long lasting formula means one application can last 6 months or longer, so you really get a lot of bang for your buck!

Use Leather Honey to clean, revitalize, and prolong the life on all of your leather goods- boots, handbags, gloves, apparel, furniture, saddles and tack, sports equipment, and motorcycle seats!

Leather Honey is made in the USA and is carefully hand-packed on their family farm in West Virginia. I love this since I am always compelled to buy products made right here at home. 

Leather Honey Cleaner and Conditioner are both currently available to purchase on Amazon.

Revitalize Your Leather Goods With Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care Liniment No. 1.

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I am a leather girl. From my furniture, my boots, my handbags, and my car upholstery, I insist on leather. Anyone who likes it as much as I do knows that if properly taken care of, leather can last a really long time. Keeping it looking its best can be a real challenge though. As much as I try to keep all of my leather items looking new, wear and tear happens anyway. I have tried many products to clean and buff those items, but I have found that some products leave them feeling tacky or sticky, or I don’t get the desired result I am after. We have tried many leather cleaners over the years, and I haven’t really been fully pleased with the results from any of them. That is, until I tried Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care Liniment No. 1.

Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care Liniment No. 1. is a natural, water based emulsion containing a mix of natural conditioners and gentle cleanser. The oils contained in this product are lighter than traditional oils in other products, so it does not overload your leather goods with oils and conditioners. You can use this product frequently to refresh and cleanse your leathers without worrying about causing them harm. Chamberlain's Leather Milk will feed, strengthen, and beautify your leather goods.

I recently used Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care Liniment No. 1. on several of my leather goods. The bottle was sent with a free leather conditioner applicator.

I used it first on my handbag, which is starting to look a bit drab after months of use. I was a bit worried at first because some of the red dye from my handbag transferred to the white pad, but once it dried, my bag was looking almost as good as new. The color looked more perky, and the scuffs that were in the bag were really smoothed over!

My leather furniture is still fairly new, so there isn’t many signs of wear on it yet. However, I do have some slobbering dogs, who tend to filthy it up. I like to do a good cleaning of my furniture every few weeks, and Chamberlain's Leather Milk was gentle, yet effective at removing the dried on bits. I also noticed that once dry, my furniture was not sticky like it normally is after a cleaning. The leather felt smooth and clean.

Before Chamberlain's Leather Milk

After cleaning with Chamberlain's Leather Milk.

I have a pair of leather boots that have seen 4 years worth of use. They are looking pretty beat up, so I decided that this would be my last year of wearing them. When I received Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care Liniment No. 1., I didn’t hold my breath hoping for results on getting them looking nice again. I was pretty sure these boots were done for. I did one boot with the leather milk and left the other alone for a side by side comparison. I was thrilled with how revitalized Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care Liniment No. 1. made the boot I used it on look after application!

Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care Liniment No. 1. was applied to the boot on the left. The right is how they looked before. You can see that many of the scuffs have buffed right out. The leather that was treated feels amazing now too. It is so soft, it feels like butter! I am sure I will get a few more years worth of use out of my boots now!

I am so pleased with the results I have received from this product. It is by far the best leather conditioner/cleaner that I have ever used! It is also used and recommended by Saddleback Leather Company. An 8 ounce bottle has a MSRP of $24.95, but it is currently selling for $18.95 on Amazon. I was able to clean my handbag, boots, and 3 pieces of furniture and only used about 1/8 of the bottle, so a little really does go a long way. I will definitely continue to use Chamberlain's Leather Milk Leather Care Liniment No. 1. on all of my leather goods now and in the future!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
