Om Tarrago
Tarrago Brands International ble grunnlagt i 1940 og oppsto i den spanske tekstilindustriens vugge under navnet "Tarrago Products". Tarrago Brands startet med en visjon om å tilby de beste tekstilfargene, både til industriell og privat bruk. Tarrago Brands ble raskt referansen innen farger på tekstilmarkedet.
På 60-tallet, da tekstilindustrien var i krise, viste Tarrago Brands sin evne til å tilpasse seg markedets nye behov og prioritere innovasjon da de utviklet den første vannbaserte lærfargen. Denne teknologiske revolusjonen ble applaudert av skobransjen, og gjorde det mulig å endre skinnfargen fra svart til hvitt med uslåelig resultat og holdbarhet.
Siden den gang har Tarrago utviklet seg til å bli et av verdens ledende merker innen skopleie og skotilbehør. I motsetning til de fleste andre skopleiemerker har Tarrago sin egen fabrikk nord for Barcelona, og utvikler og produserer produktene sine selv. Dette gir dem mye bedre kontroll over kvaliteten på produktene, arbeidsmiljøet og alle miljøaspekter. Det gjør dem også svært fleksible, og nye produkter eller forbedringer av eksisterende produkter kan raskt tilpasses behovene til kunder over hele verden. Tarrago er et søsterselskap til Saphir.

How can you glue leather?
Leather is a special material, which is usually flexible and moving, which means that an adhesive for leather needs to have different properties than many other adhesives. Most fast-drying adhesives, or super glues as they are called, become rock hard when they dry, and if you glue leather with these, the glue usually breaks when the leather product is used. Atomlim yellow is different, it still has very high adhesion but stays flexible so it can follow the movement of the leather.Â

How to use
Saphir Medaille d'Or Cleanser gently dissolves dirt and stains, while not removing shoe cream and wax polish to any larger extent. It's' good to use to easily clean off dirt before your regular shoe care routine, or on dirty leather products.
Take the cleanser on a cotton cloth and rub with soft pressure over the area that is dirty, or if needed over the entire shoe/leather product, part by part. If you rub harder and more, you will dissolve some of the cream and waxes, but if gentle it's only the dirt that is removed. You'll notice once the leather gets clean, it looks a bit matte.
For shoes, though not necessary, it is recommended to apply shoe cream after cleaning. The cleanser evaporates quickly so the leather doesn't get wet, yet it's good to let the shoes rest a bit so it's completely dry before you apply a thin layer of Saphir Medaille d'Or Crème Pommadier shoe cream, and if you wish also Saphir Pate de Lux wax polish.
For leather products, it's recommended to apply Saphir Medaille d'Or Leather Lotion or another nourishing and caring product after cleaning.
