Leather Care
In order to maximize the life of your leather
products, we recommend that the leather is kept dry at all times and
that an occasional application of wax polish is made. Keep away from
direct heat and also best kept out of direct sunlight.
Care tips
Body oils, dirt and perspiration in high wear areas can
migrate through the top coat and cause the treatment coats underneath to
separate from the leather surface. The proper care and attention to
leather can increase its life. Tips to increase the longevity of your leather
are as follows:
-
Keep the leather pores free
from dust particles. Wipe the leather weekly or monthly depending on
how often it is used. Use a cloth dampened with distilled or purified
water to avoid leaving lime scale residue, and dry with a soft cloth.
(Not recommended for Nubuck leather)
-
Don’t place leather near a
source of heat or in direct sunlight. It may dry out or fade over
time.
-
Don’t use saddle soaps, oils,
abrasive cleaners, soaps, furniture polish, varnish, solvents and
silicones or ammonia water on your leather. These vary widely in
strength and in compatibility with leather finishes, and may cause
cracking or other damage to the leather surface.
-
Never put adhesive stickers
like name tags on leather or suede clothing as glue will permanently
mark its surface.
-
Avoid spraying hairspray or
perfumes while wearing leather garment and never apply pins or
adhesive materials to the garment as this will damage the hide's
finish.
