If you own any leather products, you probably already know how lucky you are. Leather is gorgeous, supple, durable, and so much more. However, if you want to keep your leather belts, jackets, journal leather, and furniture pieces looking their best, proper leather care is essential. In the next few sections, we’ll share some tips and suggestions to help you with leather cleaning, storage, and maintenance to ensure that your treasured pieces retain their lustre and beauty.
DAY-TO-DAY LEATHER MAINTENANCE AND CARE
Leather is a durable material, but that doesn’t mean it is immune to scratching, stretching, or getting dirty. When using leather, it is important to take a few key steps to protect your items and prevent excess wear and tear. Doing so will help ensure that you’re able to enjoy your items for many years to come. Keep in mind that leather is a skin, and just like our skin there are things you should do to protect it. Here are some tips to help you learn how to care for a leather bag, leather jackets, and other leather items on a daily basis:
- Try to keep leather goods away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Bring an umbrella if the forecast calls for heavy rain to avoid getting leather wet.
- Each week, use a soft bristled brush or soft cloth to remove dust or debris from your items.
- Do not overfill leather duffle bag, purses, or wallets. Doing so can cause the material to stretch and appear misshapen.
- Be careful to keep any sharp items, bulky jewellery large buttons, or anything else that may scratch leather away from it.
