Leather care wet wipes liquids
1.1 Cleaning Type
- Key Ingredients: Mainly surfactants (e.g., APG, betaine-based), combined with ethanol or other solvents. Surfactant content typically ranges from 8% to 15%.
- Features: Focuses on removing dust, oils, and stains from leather surfaces, suitable for daily stain treatment (e.g., oil stains, sweat stains).
- Application Scenarios: Daily cleaning of leather shoes, bags, sofas, and other frequently used leather products.
1.2 Conditioning & Polishing Type
- Key Ingredients: Contains natural oils (lanolin, jojoba oil) and waxes (carnauba wax, beeswax), with oil/wax content ranging from 5% to 10%.
- Features: Moisturizes leather to prevent drying and cracking, while forming a protective film to enhance shine and water resistance.
- Application Scenarios: Maintenance of luxury leather (e.g., fine cowhide, sheepskin), leather furniture, and automotive leather.
1.3 Waterproof & Protective Type
- Key Ingredients: Includes silicone-based waterproof agents (e.g., polydimethylsiloxane) and film-forming agents (e.g., PVA), with waterproof additives accounting for 1% to 3%.
- Features: Creates a durable water-resistant layer, repels liquid penetration, and resists dust and scratches.
- Application Scenarios: Outdoor leather goods (e.g., boots, jackets), high-traffic leather in households or commercial spaces.
1.4 Antibacterial & Deodorizing Type
- Key Ingredients: Contains antimicrobial agents (e.g., phenoxyethanol, triclosan) and odor-neutralizing compounds (e.g., cyclodextrin), with antibacterial agents at 0.3% to 0.5%.
- Features: Kills bacteria, eliminates odors (e.g., sweat, pet odors), and prolongs leather freshness.
- Application Scenarios: Leather used in humid environments (e.g., sports gear, baby products), public seating, or pet accessories.
2. Classification by Leather Type
2.1 Smooth Leather (e.g., Cowhide, Sheepskin)
- Formula Features: Higher ethanol content (15%–25%) and waxes (5%–8%) for strong cleaning and high gloss.
- Application: Glossy leather shoes, handbags, and furniture.
2.2 Suede & Nubuck Leather
- Formula Features: Low-surfactant (≤8%), high-moisturizer (e.g., glycerin 5%) formulas to avoid damaging the nap.
- Application: 麂皮 boots, suede jackets, and luxury accessories.
2.3 Synthetic Leather (PU/PVC)
- Formula Features: Higher surfactants (10%–15%) and antistatic agents (e.g., quaternary ammonium salts) to prevent dust adhesion.
- Application: Inexpensive leather goods, automotive interiors, and furniture.
2.4 Delicate Leather (e.g., Aniline Leather, Baby Leather)
- Formula Features: Alcohol-free, gentle surfactants (e.g., glucosides), and natural oils (e.g., shea butter).
- Application: High-end leather products, vintage leather, and leather in direct contact with skin.
3. Classification by Formulation Characteristics
3.1 Alcohol-Based
- Features: Contains 10%–25% ethanol for fast-drying, antibacterial properties; suitable for oily leather or summer use.
- Caution: Not recommended for dry or aged leather.
3.2 Alcohol-Free
- Features: Uses water or plant-based solvents, enriched with moisturizers (e.g., propylene glycol); gentle for sensitive leather.
- Application: Aniline leather, suede, and winter care.
3.3 Eco-Friendly & Vegan
- Features: Plant-derived surfactants (e.g., coconut-based), biodegradable solvents, and no animal fats (e.g., synthetic waxes instead of beeswax).
- Application: Environmentally conscious consumers and cruelty-free leather products.
3.4 High-Temperature & Low-Temperature Resistant
- Features: Added stabilizers (e.g., xylitol) to prevent separation in extreme temperatures (e.g., -5°C to 50°C).
- Application: Automotive leather, outdoor gear, and industrial storage.
4. Classification by Usage Scenario
4.1 Daily Maintenance
- Features: Balanced cleaning and conditioning, moderate oil content (3%–5%).
- Application: Regular wipe-down of leather items in households or offices.
4.2 Deep Cleaning (Heavy-Duty)
- Features: High-surfactant (12%–15%) and low-oil formulas for stubborn stains (e.g., ink, grease).
- Caution: Use sparingly to avoid over-degreasing.
4.3 Travel & On-The-Go
- Features: Portable packaging, quick-drying formula (high ethanol content), and compact size.
- Application: Business trips, outdoor activities, and emergency stain removal.
4.4 Professional/Industrial
- Features: Concentrated formulas, high-performance additives (e.g., industrial-grade waxes), and large-batch packaging.
- Application: Leather manufacturing, restoration workshops, and hotel housekeeping.
5. Classification by Special Functions
5.1 Anti-Aging & UV Protection
- Features: Contains antioxidants (e.g., vitamin E, BHT) and UV absorbers (e.g., benzophenone), ideal for outdoor leather exposed to sunlight.
5.2 Static-Proof
- Features: Added antistatic agents (e.g., cationic surfactants) to reduce dust attraction on synthetic leather.
5.3 Infant & Pet Safe
- Features: Fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and non-toxic ingredients (e.g., food-grade preservatives), suitable for baby products or pet beds.
This classification helps users select products based on their leather type, maintenance needs, and environmental preferences. Always test a small area before full application, especially for delicate or vintage leather.
