Title: Top find- leather cleaning
Post by: Mike_Roper on May 18, 2011, 10:12:26 pm
Saw a horse shampoo brush at the vets and thought that would be ideal for leather cleaning. Used it today and the clean was quicker and used less cleaner.
Check out www.battles.co.uk and search for lincoln shampoo brush (mine is blue not pink btw). As you can see it has a bottle for the cleaner attached to the brush head .Cleaner is fed into the brush head via a sponge centre. The bristles make light work of ingrained dirt.
Well worth adding one to your kit!
Mike

It's a nice find I have a shop near me that sells the brand (so it says on the website) so am going to get one when passing.

BTW was in Whitby at the weekend near the Marina in those newish town houses.

P.S Mike are you using this with foaming cleaners such as LTT's stuff?  Can't see how you'd create a foam in the same way a foaming dispenser would .....

Shaun, didnt fancy a pint anyway!
Jim, Use it with LTT maxi cleaner,no it doesnt foam as much as the bottle but it doesnt go on as pure liquid as it goes through he sponge then is aggitated with the bristles.
Honestly I was impressed , it saved time and used less product, got to be worth a try especially fpr £5.50

Sorry Mike kids and Wife in tow and they wanted to go round the 'tat' shops and amusements then to Sandsend to play on the beach I didn't get a choice in the matter, anyway I don't drink it'd been a waste of you buying me a pint.

don't mean to be picky but i've always cleaned leather using a soft natural fibre brush to agitate into the grain, i use a furniture brush, i thought most already cleaned that way, it makes the cleaner go further as it's not being soaked into a cloth,
