    Default Vintage Hermes Canvas Cleanup

    This is a vintage Hermes Bareina and toile canvas that has some stain issues. Is there a way I can safely clean this without worrying about bleeding from the leather?

    Looks like there are stains on both the fabric and the leather.

    Are you cleaning both?

    Do you know the fabric material?

    The fabric is a 'toile canvas'. The leather is 'Bareina'. Yes, I would like to clean both but wondering if the leather would stain/bleed into the canvas.

    For the canvas:
    Prep 7.7- Cleaner- Rinse

    For the leather:
    Acidifer (to control any bleeding)- Cleaner- Rinse

    Not sure what I should follow with next...

    The leather trim is to be clean first with:

    1- VachettaPro-1.2 (pH value 1.2)
    http://www.leatherdoctor.com/vachettapro-1-2/ and follows with

    2- Acidifier-2.0 (pH value 2.0)
    http://www.leatherdoctor.com/acidifier-2-0/


    When dry have an inspection and optional lightening the seasoning effect is perform with:

    3- Vachetta-2.8 (pH value 2.8)
    http://www.leatherdoctor.com/vachetta-2-8/


    When dry have another inspection and protection is perform with:
    4- Protector-D
    http://www.leatherdoctor.com/protector-d/


    >>> For the canvas: Prep 7.7- Cleaner- Rinse

    The canvass trim is clean next, by now you would know if there are any dye run from the leather. Canvass from jute is also pH sensitive and may be subject to cellulose browning when pH solution is too high and Prep-7.7 with a pH value of 7.7 is not recommended. You will need a low pH value of 1.5 with:

    1- CleanPro-1.5 (pH value 1.5)
    http://www.leatherdoctor.com/cleanpro-1-5-2/ and follow with:

    2- Acidifier-2.0
    http://www.leatherdoctor.com/acidifier-2-0/


    The above are the cautious approach to cleaning without side effect and any further persist problem may be safely treated accordingly.

    Thank you. Is 'Hydrator' and 'Fatliquor' also recommended?

    Yes! It is important to have this Hydrator-3.3 > Fatliquor-5.0 system in place to control further cracking to existing condition.

    This Kit-V3+ is for general care of some of the common problem associated with Vachetta leathers. Most products mentioned are found in this kit and the rest may be added as individual items.
