MAVI STEP Mineralis Natural Dry Stain Remover Powder for Suede & Leather

Description

MAVI STEP Mineralis is a master-grade, 100% natural dry mineral stain extractor designed to lift stubborn oil, grease, and sebum spots from the finest leathers without compromising their structural integrity, texture, or original patina. Sourced from high-purity natural sepiolite clay ground to an ultra-fine micronized powder, Mineralis harnesses powerful capillary absorption mechanics. It acts as an organic molecular magnet, drawing liquid lipids up and out of deep leather pores and fibrous suede nap without the need for water, harsh detergents, or solvent strippers.

The Connoisseur’s Solution to Accidental Grease & Oil Stains

Applying liquid degreasers, foams, or spot cleaners to premium full-grain leather, untreated calfskin, or fine suede is a notorious gamble. Liquid solvents frequently dissolve factory finishes, darken untreated aniline leathers, and leave permanent drying halos (water rings or auréoles). MAVI STEP Mineralis operates through an entirely waterless physical adsorption process:

• Guaranteed Zero Solvent Rings or Halos: Because no liquid carrier or solvent is used, the mineral powder encapsulates oil strictly within the contact perimeter, drying completely clean with zero discoloration boundaries.
• Patina & Dye Protection: Completely non-abrasive and pH-neutral. It will not strip natural waxes, burnishings, or hand-painted artisanal museum finishes.
• Preserves Suede Nap Architecture: Does not mat, crust, or stiffen delicate suede, velour, or nubuck fibers. Once brushed away, the nap retains its soft, velvety hand-feel.
• 100% Pure, Eco-Conscious Formula: Scent-free, non-toxic, non-flammable, and completely free of VOCs, chlorine, and synthetic propellants. Ideal for studio workshops and luxury home wardrobe care.

Versatile Protection Across Luxury Goods:

• Footwear: Goodyear welted dress shoes, suede loafers, Chelsea boots, and designer luxury sneakers;
• Leather Goods & Handbags: Fine aniline totes, vachetta leather trims, clutches, and briefcases (safe on Hermès, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton style untreated trims);
• Outerwear: Suede bomber jackets, shearling collars, lambskin coats, and leather gloves;
• Automotive & Living: Leather car seats, Alcantara steering wheel wraps, aniline upholstery, and unfinished natural wood or porous marble surfaces.

Target Contaminants:

Culinary cooking oils, butter, salad dressings, sauces, greasy fingerprints, collar sebum, body lotions, face make-up, automotive fluids, and oily shoe polish over-saturation.

Professional Application Protocol:

1. Initial Blotting: If the spill is fresh, immediately dab excess surface oil using a clean, dry micro-cloth or paper towel. Do not rub or scrub across the leather grain.
2. Generous Mound Application: Sprinkle MAVI STEP Mineralis directly over the spot, creating a 1/8-inch (2–4 mm) protective mound that extends slightly beyond the stain boundaries.
3. Uninterrupted Dwell Time: Leave the powder undisturbed to allow full capillary extraction:
   • Fresh superficial spots: 1 to 2 hours.
   • Deep, set-in, or older stains: 6 to 12 hours (ideally overnight).
4. Brush & Finish: Gently sweep the saturated, darkened powder away using a premium horsehair brush (for smooth leather) or a brass/crepe brush (for suede and nubuck). For older or stubborn stains, gently warm the area with a hair dryer on low heat prior to a second application to liquefy set lipids.
