To use: Apply in small circular motion using a clean cloth. Allow to absorb and then remove the excess with the same motion. Do not apply over dirt as it will merely embed it further. This is inherently greasy protect text blocks and endpapers thoroughly

Made with Neatsfoot oil and lanolin (60/40) it contains no wax. This formula was developed by the New York Public Library and was tested by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Lexol-pH is the best leather cleaner you can buy. Strong for tough jobs but gentle enough for the finest leather. Cleans normal surface dirt quickly and rinses easily. Lexol-pH Balanced Leather Cleaner is a non-alkaline, low pH formula which deep cleans, untraps and foams away embedded dirt without harshness. Doesn’t stain and leaves no dulling film or residue on leather. pH value = 7-8

Meltonian Shoe Cream

Used by a LOT of bookish folk as a scratch cover this shoe ‘cream’ not polish is quite useful. Comes in a variety of colors of which half are browns. I find it works best after the leather has been treated with a cleaned like Lexol-ph or moisturized with leather dressing. pH value = 7-8

from “Bringing New Life to Tired Tomes” by Robert
Colver (O.P. World magazine March 1998)
“Not shoe polish generically, but Meltonian by name. It already has a devout following among booksellers and an equally devout, if more clandestine, following among book repairers. Its advantages are many: It’s readily available at most good shoe-repair shops. It comes in an absolute palette of colors .There are a dozen or so variations on brown) which can even be mixed and blended like acrylic paints. It’s cheap and easy to use. It masks scuffs and evens out color without hiding old marbling pattens or grain patterns. It’s not a wax and leaves no sticky surface. From a conservation standpoint, it’s basically chemically benign. Not only is it not acidic, it’s slightly basic, which means it is actually buffering the leather.”
