Leather-friendly properties of liquid Marseille soap
Natural benefits of Marseille soap on leather
The secret of shiny, supple leather often lies in the choice of the right care product. Our liquid Marseille soap, made with traditional know-how by the "Le Sérail" soap factory, is the perfect ally for this delicate care. Traditional cooking in a cauldron preserves the moisturizing properties of vegetable oils, essential for deeply nourishing leather fibers. Delicately scented with green tea, this soap doesn't just offer a soothing fragrance; it brings leather sofas, armchairs and car interiors back to life, restoring their former glory. And at $18.65, it's a small revolution for your leather goods, always at hand.
Comparison with other leather care products
In the face of the many solutions on the market, our liquid soap stands out for its no-frills formulation: water, sea salt, soda and vegetable oils are the only components that caress your leather without ever attacking it. This pure composition contrasts with competing products, which are often loaded with chemical agents that can alter the texture and appearance of leather over the long term. While some opt for modern, large-scale production methods, sacrificing quality for quantity, we preserve the excellence of an ancestral method that respects both your skin and your most precious possessions.
How to use liquid Marseille soap for leather care
Routine leather cleaning
To preserve the splendor and longevity of your leather sofas, regular cleaning with liquid Marseille soap is recommended. Start by meticulously dusting with a slightly dampened chamois to capture fine particles without scratching the delicate leather surface. After removing the dust, apply a small amount of our liquid soap to a soft cloth, then use gentle circular movements to clean the leather without damaging it.
This gentle method not only removes surface impurities, but also nourishes the leather thanks to the vegetable oils contained in the soap. Be careful not to over-wet the cloth, as this could cause water to seep into the pores of the leather, resulting in further damage or staining.
Special care and stain removal
When faced with a stubborn stain on your leather sofa, opt for a targeted approach using our stain-removing soap enriched with Terre de Sommières. This natural clay is renowned for its exceptional absorbent properties, which attract and trap grease and dirt without compromising the integrity of the leather.
To use this specialized product, first create an emulsion with a few drops of lukewarm water before gently applying to the affected area. Leave for a few moments, then dab with a clean microfiber cloth until the stain has completely disappeared. In the event of persistent residue, repeat the operation patiently and gently, as excessive rubbing could damage or discolor your precious leather furniture.
Don't forget to moisturize your sofa with a suitable cream after each cleaning to maintain its suppleness and satin finish. This ritual not only maintains the beauty but also the durability of your leather furniture.
Precautions and advice for using liquid Marseille soap on leather
Soap test on a small area
Before embarking on a complete cleaning of your leather sofa with our liquid Marseille soap, it's essential to carry out a preliminary test. Choose a hidden or less visible part of the furniture and apply a small quantity of diluted soap. Leave for a few moments, then wipe gently with a dry cloth. Observe the reaction of the leather: if there are no undesirable changes, you can proceed to full cleaning with complete peace of mind. This test avoids unpleasant surprises, as each leather has its own characteristics and reacts differently according to its treatment and finish.
Frequency of use and recommended quantities
Regular care is the key to maintaining the natural beauty and resilience of leather. However, too much can be counterproductive. We therefore recommend using our liquid Marseille soap sparingly: once or twice a month should suffice for routine maintenance. As for quantities, a little goes a long way: a hazelnut of pure product is enough to create an effective emulsion when mixed with lukewarm water. For daily dusting, use a dry or slightly damp cloth without adding soap, to avoid any risk of saturating the leather's pores.
Beyond the moisturizing and cleansing benefits, pay attention to the signs your sofa may show after cleaning with our green tea-scented liquid soap: if the leather seems drier or loses its shine, it's time to space out cleaning sessions or reduce the amount used.
