It has taken me some time to write a review for the Lexol 3-in-1 Leather Care Spray, because I wanted to be sure and put it through its paces and give the product a good real-life evaluation before doing so. For years, I have used a competitive product with which I was always generally satisfied. I compared the Lexol side-by-side with the other product I've used previously, not so much to pit one against the other (though that is inevitible), but to compare Lexol to what was my baseline expectation for a leather cleaner/conditioner.The first thing that one might notice with Lexol is the odor of the product. I would be less than forthcoming if I didn't say it is borderline offensive. Though the smell did put me off, I persisted using the product both on automotive leather and household leather. My observations are listed below, but my overall opinion after some good evaluation is very favorable. I may just switch and buy Lexol from now on.CLEANING -  The first important thing we need this product to do is to CLEAN the leather, right? While I will often pre-clean badly soiled leather with a mild soap and water and dry before using a leather care product, I tested the Lexol without any pre-clean to see what it has to offer. I was pleasantly surprised at the general effectiveness of cleaning ground-in dirty leather. I found that for heavily soiled areas, if you spray the Lexol on and let it soak in for a minute or so, then agitate gently with a microfiber cloth, it does a very good job of lifting the dirt out of the grain. I have ivory colored leather furniture that I allow my German Shepherd to lie on, and believe me - it gets dirty! It cleans as well as any spray-on product I have used.ODOR -  As mentioned above, this really bothered me at first. It does not have what I consider a pleasant smell. Okay... I think it stinks (there, I said it). This is subjective, and others may mind it more or less than I do - but I would prefer a nicer smell.CONDITIONING -  The conditioning properties seem to be good. Lexol leaves the leather soft and suple and it retains that quality for quite some time. One thing I like a lot about Lexol compared to some other brands, is that it leaves the leather with "grippy" natural feel - not slippery like many others do. Particularly when it comes to the leather seats in my cars, I don't want to slide around on them. I want them to grip me like leather is supposed to - and Lexol provides this feel very well. During evaluation, I used the Lexol on one leather sofa cushion and another spray-on leather cleaner/conditioner on the adjacent cushion. The results of the way the surface is left was remarkable. The "other product side" was quite slippery, while the Lexol side was nice and "grippy" (but not tacky).
