Supplies You Need:

 

 

 

How to Clean your Leather Product:

 

- Make sure that your hands are clean while cleaning the leather product you own since leather can absorb the oils.

- You have to wipe off the dirt every now and then using a marginally damp cloth, making sure that cloth is not very wet since leather takes time to dry.

 

 

How to Condition your Leather Product:

 

- Conditioning is done to moisturize the leather. You have to be concerned that your leather product is conditioned before it dries out completely.

- To avoid any wrinkles on the animal skin, you can take a cloth; apply the leather moisturizer to it in circular motions.

- It’s recommended to apply the moisturizer on the leather products, every 15-20 days.

 

How to finish off the Cleaning: 

 

To finish off, apply a good waxed based leather balm to maintain the shine and newness of the product and store it in a safe place, and if possible put the pack of silica gel to avoid the dampness.

It’s also recommended to let your leather piece be in the air every 15-20 days to avoid any molding.

 

Extra Tips & Cautions: 

 

  • 1. Don’t let your leather product dry out completely, as it will not be repairable then.
  • 2. Avoid any cleaning products that have alcohol in it, since it destroys the natural color and aging process.
  • 3. Never let your leather be absorbed in water, if it gets wet, give it it’s time to air dry and not to dry it by any dryer.
  • 4. If you want your leather product to last you forever, make sure to follow a good and recommended care routine.
