As they are cream coloured, they will always show dirt that black leather won't. The staining will either be dirt or dye transfer from your clothes. As far as I know, there isn't a product that will actually prevent dirt from settling on your leather. You'll have to occasionally clean them as you are now. I'll see if I can find something that will seal the leather and make cleaning it a bit easier.

Its not that the product is useless, it, as well as most leather cleaners, are designed to be safe for regular use which means they are strong enough to remove dirt etc, but dye transfer is a whole different situation as the dye has actually permeated the leather and is not just sitting on top. If you have time, you are welcome to come by the shop and we can try a few things for you.
