Description

I7 Leather Hard Leather Soap is a high-performance cleaner specially formulated to remove deep dirt, embedded sweat, stubborn deposits, and greasy grime found on all types of modern leather.
Its controlled alkaline liquid formula (pH 10.7–10.9) offers powerful stripping ability while respecting materials, ensuring a deep clean before maintenance, repair, or recoloring.
Ideal for heavily used leather, high-traffic vehicles, stained upholstery, and surfaces with advanced grime build-up.

What are the advantages?

Powerful stripping of deep dirt: removes sweat, sebum, compact grime, and embedded shine even on very used areas (steering wheels, bolsters, armrests).
Restores the original texture: brings back a matte and clean look by removing greasy films responsible for unwanted shine.
Controlled degreasing: effectively removes grease, built-up care products, and wax residues without altering the pigmented finish.
Fast and even action: active foam easy to spread, penetrates the pores and lifts dirt to the surface.
Immediate visible results: instant reaction on dirt, even on very dirty or long-neglected leather.
Optimal preparation before work: creates a perfectly clean surface to improve adhesion of dyes, repairs, or protections.
Effective on light leather: removes dark transfers, rubbing marks, and yellowed areas effortlessly.

Hard Leather Soap is a technical cleaner designed to meet the requirements of Detailing, Smart Repair, and upholstery experts dealing with heavily soiled or body contaminant–saturated leather.
Its controlled alkaline formula (pH 10.7–10.9) gives it targeted dissolving power: it removes grease, oxidized sweat, cosmetic residues, compacted dust, and dirt embedded in the leather pores. Thanks to its non-ionic surfactants, the product lifts particles instead of spreading them, ensuring deep cleaning without altering the pigmented layer.

What does the combined action of Hard Leather Soap I7 Leather’s dense foam and cleaning agents allow?

to eliminate areas that have become shiny from saturation,
to remove waxy films left by old care products,
to reopen the surface porosity of the leather, essential before recoloring,
to restore the matte texture, often lost on heavily used leather.

On automotive leather, it excels on side bolsters, polished steering wheels, greasy armrests, dirty light seats, and contact areas.
On furniture leather, it helps recover dulled, thickened, or sticky surfaces after intensive use.
Its ability to act quickly, even on long-embedded dirt, makes it essential for reviving tired leather before applying a nourishing treatment.

After cleaning, the surface regains a dry touch, uniform color, and optimal adhesion for maintenance or repair steps.

Tip for best results

The I7 Leather Hard Leather Soap 100ml comes in a foam dispenser. For the 500ml version, you will need to opt for a foam dispenser. This accessory will transform the leather soap (liquid) into foam, which you can apply directly onto the leather brush or microfiber applicator to carry out your cleaning.

Product usage

Follow these simple steps for a perfect cleaning of the leather surfaces in your vehicle:

Preparation of I7 Leather Leather Cleaner Hard Soap

Ready to use: No mixing or dilution required

Usage tips for Leather Hard Soap I7 Leather for automotive leather

Preparation

Make sure the leather surface is free of loose dust by using a soft cloth or soft brush.
Shake the product slightly before use.
Prefer working on cool, clean leather and in the shade to ensure uniform, controlled cleaning without premature product evaporation.

Application

Apply the Leather Hard Soap directly onto the area to clean or onto your special leather brush type i7 LEATHER.
Work in circular, regular, and controlled motions to allow the active foam to lift embedded dirt, greasy films, oxidized sweat, and all residues accumulated in the grain.
Do not overload the surface: gradual cleaning ensures a more precise result and prevents unnecessary saturation.

Drying / Action

Let it act for a few moments if necessary, the time for the formula to loosen contaminants, then carefully wipe with a clean, slightly damp microfiber.
Repeat the process on particularly dirty areas until obtaining a uniformly clean, matte, and degreased surface.
A drying time of about 5 minutes is sufficient to stabilize the surface. The leather is then perfectly ready for the next steps.

Wipe quickly to maintain a uniform and matte finish.
Ideal for reviving leathers dulled by daily use.

Usage tips for Leather Hard Soap I7 Leather for light-colored leathers

Light-colored leathers retain more fabric transfer: go over with gentle passes rather than an aggressive one.
The Leather Hard Soap immediately exposes dirt: plan several rinses to keep a uniform finish.
Ideal for yellowed or dulled leathers, often very absorbent on the surface.
Brush carefully around perforations and seams where dirt accumulates the most.

Additional technical advice

Adapt mechanical force to the condition of the leather
The Hard Soap has a controlled alkaline pH (10.7–10.9). This alkalinity increases stripping capacity but requires proper control:

hard brush for very dirty areas (steering wheels, bolsters),
soft brush for sensitive leathers,
controlled circular motions.

The right tool = maximum performance without altering the pigment.

Work in restricted areas to avoid degreasing halos
On light or heavily contaminated leathers, the product’s strength degreases very quickly. Cleaning in small sections helps avoid:

irregular halos,
visible transitions,
areas where the leather becomes dull faster than the rest.

Never let the product dry on the leather
Excess working time can:

weaken old finishes,
create an effect of “over‑stripping”,
cause areas that are too matte or slightly whitened.

Always apply → agitate → wipe immediately.

Reopen the superficial porosity before recoloring
Savon Hard removes greasy films, waxes, silicones, and body build‑ups that block the surface. This reopening of the micro‑grain is essential for:

pigment adhesion,
resin bonding,
uniform penetration of repairs.

Without this step, technical products adhere less effectively and their durability decreases.

On light leathers: multiply gentle passes
Light leathers immediately show the difference between cleaned and uncleaned areas.
It is better to work in several light passes rather than one aggressive job, especially on perforated seats or surfaces sensitive to textile transfer.

Neutralize before finishing or conditioning
After a Hard cleaning, the leather becomes more absorbent and feels “drier” to the touch.
It must be:
1. completely dry,
2. stabilized,
3. possibly lightly re‑moistened with a damp cloth before applying a cream or a dye.

Storage advice

Temperature: store in a cool, dry environment, ideally between 10 °C and 25 °C.
Protection: keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve the formula’s effectiveness.
Packaging: keep the product in its original tightly closed bottle or bucket to avoid evaporation or contamination.
Handling: avoid prolonged contact with incompatible materials (reactive metals, highly porous surfaces).
Optimal shelf life: 36 months from the date of manufacture, depending on storage conditions.

Important to know

Always work in the shade, on a cool surface, and do not let the product dry.
Use appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) such as gloves, goggles, earplugs...
