How do I remove blood or water stains from smooth leather footwear?: Removing blood stains from leather can be tricky. To protect the leather from blood stains, please use BALM PROOFER™ WATER & STAIN REPELLENT, or WAXIMUM™ WAXED LEATHER PROTECTOR in advance.

The frequency of daily care is up to you, but if you use your product frequently, we recommend that you perform it regularly.
If you use the product daily, we recommend that you care for the product once a week.

Does the reinforcement process impair breathability?: Reinforcing does not impair the breathability of the leather.

Where is the best place to store care products?: Care products should be stored in a stable environment that is free from extreme temperature changes. Anywhere in the house is fine.

I often see the word "AOX" in care and cleaning products. What is this? Why don't Timberland's care products contain AOX?: AOX (Asorable Organic Halogens) are adsorbable organic halogen compounds used in bleaching and cleaning products.
There is concern that AOX is an indecomposable substance in our environment. Considering that certain molecules can become toxic at high concentrations, Timberland care products do not contain AOX.

If I apply too much wax on my jacket, how do I dry it?: If too much wax is applied, the jacket will become sticky. In this case, we recommend wiping off the excess wax with a soft cloth.

How can I keep my leather footwear soft and supple?: We recommend using WAXIMUM™ WAXED LEATHER PROTECTOR. It will soften the leather and allow the material to breathe.
Please note that this product cannot be used on suede and nubuck leather.

How can I remove and care for the jeans stains on my boots?: It can be removed with RENEWBUCK™ FOAMING CLEANER and DRY CLEANING KIT. The cleaner will give you a soft finish, and from there you can use a cleaner bar to remove the stain.
Of course, the best way to do this is to protect your product by first using BALM PROOFER™ WATER & STAIN REPELLENT. The protector will protect the product from stains, and even if it does get dirty, it can be removed.

How hard can I rub the cleaner bar in the dry cleaning kit?: If you are removing a dark stain, such as ink on suede, you may need to rub the cleaner bar harder.
This may dull or damage the color of the leather.
One way to improve the effectiveness is to moisten the bar with water and rub the dirty area of the shoes. Then brush it with a beveling motion as a final touch.

Can I use a glazing wax on my footwear?: Yes, most glazing waxes can be used on Timberland leather footwear.
