Leather Care: 8 Steps to Extend the Life of Your Accessories
How to care for our leather products?
Leather products are known for their durability and elegance, but to maintain their appearance and quality over time, proper care is essential. Leather, being a natural material, requires certain maintenance steps that will not only preserve its beauty but also extend its lifespan. Below are some practical tips for caring for your leather goods:
Tips for caring for leather:
1. Regular cleaning :
Use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and surface dirt. For deeper cleanings, apply specific products for leather, avoiding excessive water. We highly recommend our antimicrobial gel.
2. Hydration : Leather needs to stay hydrated to prevent it from drying out and cracking. Use special leather conditioners or creams to nourish it and maintain its flexibility. You can use our wax for bags, jackets, and wallets.
3. Avoid sun exposure : Direct sunlight can fade the color of leather and make it more fragile. Store your products in cool, dry places away from strong sunlight.
4. Protection from moisture : Leather does not react well to water. If it gets wet, dry it immediately with a clean cloth and never expose it directly to heat sources, as this may cause it to warp.
5. Store it properly : Store your leather goods in breathable fabric bags, like Mantoro's reusable bags, away from moisture. Avoid plastic bags, as they can trap moisture and damage the material.
6. Avoid contact with chemicals : Perfumes, creams, or harsh cleaning products can damage leather. Keep your products away from these chemicals to prevent staining or deterioration.
7. Metal hardware: If your leather product has metal hardware, we suggest applying some type of oil, a few drops on a cloth or swab, to prevent corrosion due to moisture.
8. Adjustments and Repairs : If the leather shows any damage, such as tears or loose stitching, it's best to take it to a professional for repairs. This will ensure it stays in good condition longer, or you can opt for our warranty and repair services.
This approach ensures optimal care for your leather products, helping them look like new for years.
