We Say
Gentle on delicate interiors, effective on stubborn dirt. Natural horsehair bristles make cleaning leather and Alcantara easier without aggressive scrubbing.
Cleaning leather properly is about more than simply wiping it with a damp cloth. Dirt and body oils gradually settle into the grain, seams and textured areas, where a conventional microfibre towel can struggle to reach. A suitable brush makes it much easier to loosen that contamination without relying on excessive pressure.
The Koch-Chemie Leather Brush is designed with exactly that in mind. Its natural horsehair bristles provide gentle but effective agitation, while the ergonomically shaped body makes it comfortable to hold and easy to control when working across seats, bolsters and other interior surfaces.
What we particularly like is its versatility. Although it's called a Leather Brush, Koch-Chemie also recommends it for imitation leather and Alcantara. That makes it a useful tool for modern interiors where several different materials are often used alongside one another.
For the best results, we'd pair it with Koch-Chemie Pol Star. Its gentle cleaning formula works well with light agitation, helping release dirt from the surface before you remove the residue with a clean microfibre towel. Using a foaming dispenser can also help control the amount of moisture applied, which is particularly useful around delicate upholstery.
There is one important consideration. Even a soft horsehair brush can cause damage if used aggressively on fragile, worn or sensitive materials. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first, especially on Alcantara, and avoid vigorous scrubbing or excessive moisture.
After cleaning, simply rinse the brush thoroughly and leave it to dry with the bristles facing downwards. This helps maintain their condition and prolong the useful life of the brush.
For us, the Leather Brush is a practical addition to any interior detailing kit. It's comfortable, versatile and gives you the extra cleaning action needed for textured surfaces while encouraging the sort of controlled, gentle technique that good interior care requires.

How To Use
1) Prepare the surface:
Remove loose dust and debris using a vacuum cleaner or suitable soft microfibre towel. Always test the brush and your chosen cleaning product on an inconspicuous area before proceeding.
2) Apply a suitable cleaner:
Prepare Koch-Chemie Pol Star according to the manufacturer's dilution instructions and apply sparingly. A foaming dispenser is particularly useful for controlling moisture on leather and Alcantara.
3) Agitate gently:
Using light pressure, work the horsehair bristles across the surface to loosen ingrained dirt. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, particularly on Alcantara, worn leather or delicate finishes.
4) Remove the residue:
Carefully wipe or blot away loosened dirt and cleaning residue using a clean, suitable microfibre towel. Avoid saturating the surface.
5) Allow to dry:
Let the cleaned material dry naturally. Apply an appropriate leather care product afterwards if the surface requires conditioning or protection.
6) Clean the brush:
Rinse the brush thoroughly after use and allow it to dry with the bristles facing downwards, as recommended by Koch-Chemie.
