• Cleaning: Shammy leather is widely used for cleaning and drying cars, windows, lenses, and various household surfaces. Its absorbency makes it effective in removing dirt, dust, and liquid stains.
• Polishing: Due to its softness, shammy leather is commonly employed in polishing and buffing applications, such as shining shoes, jewelry, and professional musical instruments, like brass or woodwind.
