I purchased some sides of leather from Springfield leather company to reupholster some pleather chairs that have disintegrated.
These will be at the kitchen island and will have copious food smeared on them.
What would be the best to treat the leather with?
Honestly in the kitchen I’d go for a waterproofing spray.
Condition the leather with whatever you want to use (anything from coconut oil, beeswax, to a purchased conditioner) and then when it’s all soaked in, wipe it down with a cloth and then use a spray waterproofer.
That’ll eventually wear off, so when/if you see parts drying out/scuffing, re-condition and then re-spray.
I have plenty of coconut oil from soap making. Do you recommend a specific waterproofer?
Thank you so much!
Saddle soap is a good recommendation. It keeps the leather supple and water proofs it as well.
Resolene is my favorite for light leather protecting. I would avoid coconut and other food plant based oils.
I’d go with whatever you can get your hands on easily. Scotch Guard, Resolene, Kiwi - brand doesn’t really matter. I generally use Leather Honey, but that doesn’t come in a spray, instead it’s a repellent mixed in with the conditioner.
