Do you want to maintain the beauty and extend the life of your leather accessory?

As we have already pointed out, leather is a noble material and of animal origin, and may have different characteristics between each skin, both in texture, color, thickness or imperfections. Because it is a natural material, we can say that leather has no defects, but its own characteristics.

And because these are pieces that add value and bring a high standard concept, every consumer of the product wants it to remain with its outstanding qualities and characteristics as long as possible. The good news is that it is perfectly possible to extend the useful life of leather goods!

 

Some precautions are basic and already known, such as keeping the product in an airy, dry and protected from light. We will point out other extremely useful and easy-to-follow tips.

 

  1. 1. HYGIENIZATION

First check the product label for washing care. They may vary according to the type of leather and accessories. You can choose the safety of professional washing, which should guarantee the correct use of products and processes adapted for that accessory, without the fear of staining or damaging.

But if you want to do the procedure at home, using a damp cloth can be an effective way out. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to clean small areas, always gently and in a circular motion.

It is important to note that household cleaning products are prohibited! So forget about alcohol, bleach and detergents. After this basic cleaning, let the piece dry in the shade. The incidence of sunlight on damp leather can deform the stain on the piece.

Lightly “comb” the moist area with a very soft bristle brush. This will prevent the leather dye from accumulating in the wet part and staining the piece.

 

  1. SAFELY PROPERLY

Try to store the part in protected and ventilated places to avoid damage, away from dust, without excess moisture. Store it in bags or covers, protecting it from light and heat, which can stain and dry out. But remember: leather is a skin and needs to breathe. So, opt for TNT or cotton covers and bags.

Use padded or thicker hangers on the sides to prevent the garment from stretching or creasing in the folds. The wooden hangers are sturdy and very suitable.

 

  1. AVOID LINES

And speaking of creases, there is also another way to avoid them. You can iron the iron at about 40 ° C, with a thin cloth or parchment paper between the piece and the iron. This will remove clear creases. For stronger creases, it is recommended to take the laundry to a professional laundry to remove.

 

  1. KEEPING THE FORMAT

It is frustrating to notice that a piece of leather ends up “withering” or becomes uncharacterized from its original form according to use. But calm down! There is a solution: leather items, especially bags with a squarer shape, must not be folded or crushed inside cabinets.

Avoid placing weight on the parts, as it can deform and mark. Try to accommodate the pieces standing, in niches or shelves. A clothes rack can also be effective in maintaining and conserving the part used in everyday life. Ah! And be aware of the weight you are carrying in the bag, so that it does not overload the handles.

 

  1. USE MOISTURIZER

And finally, in addition to basic washing and storage care, an “extra stimulus” can give a significant gain in the product’s life. In this case, we recommend the use of specific moisturizers to be applied to the leather. They are effective items to keep the piece alive and revitalized, with a new and shiny look. Therefore, do not put aside the hydration of the leather because it makes a lot of difference and preserves its parts for much longer.

As the material is a skin, there is the possibility of drying out. This can cause cracks, damaging the part. Apply a little moisturizer using a soft cloth on the surface, in light, circular movements. Then let the leather dry naturally. Do the procedure at least twice a year.
