How to maintain a genuine leather bag

Women have no resistance to nice looking bags, especially leather bags. Genuine leather bags not only look high-end, but also feel very different to the touch, more comfortable and more appealing, which is why many women like to collect a large number of beautiful genuine leather bags. But genuine leather bags generally require maintenance. So, how to maintain a leather bag?

1. Cherish

The most important way to maintain a cowhide bag is to "use it with care". When using the handbag, pay attention to avoid scratches, rain, and stains. These are the most basic common sense in maintaining leather goods. Otherwise, if you wait until a problem occurs before dealing with it, the effect will be poor.

2. Collection

If you want to store a leather bag after the season, clean its leather surface before storing it, and put clean shredded paper or a cotton shirt inside the bag to maintain its shape. Then put the bag into a soft cotton bag. Bags stored in a cabinet should be protected from improper squeezing and deformation. Cabinets for storing leather products must be kept ventilated. For example, cabinets with louvered doors are better. At the same time, it is best not to put too many items in the cabinet. The natural oil content of leather will gradually decrease over time or with excessive use, so even high-end leather goods require regular maintenance. It is recommended that you dust and clean your leather products before storing them.

3. Nursing

Generally, leather products are best applied with leather care oil first. The method is to apply the oil on a clean cotton cloth and then wipe the surface evenly. Avoid applying the oil directly on the leather to avoid damaging the leather.

4. Anti-fouling

Leather has strong absorption capacity and should be prevented from staining, especially for brushed leather. If there are stains on the leather, wipe it with a clean damp sponge dipped in mild detergent, and then let it dry naturally. Try it out in an inconspicuous corner before using it.

5. Waterproof and grease-resistant

If you spill a drink on the leather, immediately absorb it with a clean cloth or sponge, wipe it with a damp cloth, and let it dry naturally. Never blow it dry with a hair dryer. It can be wiped clean with a dry cloth, and the remainder can be dissipated naturally or cleaned with detergent. Do not scrub with water. If leather items are accidentally exposed to rain, wipe off the water drops and place them in a ventilated and cool place to air dry. Do not dry with fire or expose to the sun.

6. Do not expose to the sun

Do not expose leather furniture to direct sunlight as this will cause the leather to dry out and fade.
