5 Tips For Leather Care

Tip 1: If leather gets too met, dry it slowly. Speed drying leather changes its chemical structure and you end up with stiff crinkle cut chaos. So room temperature with gentle air works better than direct heater time and hair dryer. Keep it in the shape you want it to end up.
Tip 2: If leathers gets too dry, rub something moist into it. Pick a leather dressing or cream, preferably recommended by the maker. Leathers can have paints, waxes, oils and all sorts of things applied to their surface, so you probably want to pick something similar to how it came.
Tip 3: If leather gets dirty, just use a damp cloth. You don't want t be putting any soaps or foreign substances in there.
Tip 4: Leather stretches out, but not back. If you start to overfill a wallet, it will never really return to its former taut self. If you stretch a leather bag when wet or very humid, it will move even faster. Just lear to carry the right amount and this takes care of itself.
Tip 5: Don't wrap it in plastic. It needs a tiny bit of air. What you are really trying to stop is any mildew growth, so keep some ventilation going.
