Many people prefer to wear leather jackets. Leather jackets are very good at keeping warm in winter and are also very breathable. When you are not wearing them, you must pay attention to maintenance and good cleaning to avoid damage to the leather. The maintenance method is also relatively simple. You must avoid contact with oil and some acidic and alkaline substances. Let's learn about the maintenance and cleaning methods of leather jackets.

How to maintain and clean leather clothes

1. When wearing leather clothes in daily life, be careful to avoid contact with oily, acidic or alkaline substances. If you accidentally get greasy stains on your clothes, you should use a neutral detergent (mainly laundry detergent) to wipe it off. It is best to absorb the greasy stains with a clean cotton cloth as soon as possible.

2. When wearing leather jackets, you should pay attention to protecting the leather surface to prevent it from being scratched by hard or sharp objects.

Maintenance during washing and drying

1. After washing and drying, leather clothes should be placed in a ventilated place and must not be exposed to the sun.

2. If the leather jacket is wrinkled, you can iron it with an iron. It is best to cover the ironed area with a wet towel when ironing.

3. And the temperature should be controlled at around 70 degrees. You can also use hanging ironing, 1-2 cm away from the surface of the leather jacket. Remember not to stay in one position for too long.

How to care for leather clothing when storing it

1. Leather jackets tend to lose their luster after long-term wear, so when collecting leather jackets, necessary coloring care should be performed.

Specific glazing steps:

(1) Wash and air the leather garment before storing it.

(2) After cleaning the leather, prepare the coloring materials (the main coloring materials are pigments, resins, and brushes)

(3) Mix the prepared pigment and resin in a certain ratio (usually the ratio of pigment to resin is 1:2-2.5)

(4) Then start coloring. Use a brush or soft sponge prepared in advance to dip the mixed slurry and brush it directly on the surface of the leather (brushing helps the slurry to fully penetrate and absorb into the pores, corners and seams)

(5) After the leather jacket has been colored, it should be hung in the air for a period of time to fix the color.

(6) After the color fixation is completed, if the main part of the back is wrinkled or uneven, it is best to use an iron to iron it to make it smoother and more beautiful. Finally, don't forget to wipe off the color on the buttons and accessories with a damp cloth!

2. You can wipe the leather jacket with banana peel before storing it. This care method can not only clean the stains, but also make your leather jacket look more shiny than before. It is a very practical and simple maintenance method!

3. It is not recommended to put mothballs or other insect repellents in the wardrobe where leather jackets are placed. These things will cause the leather jackets to absorb strong odors that are difficult to remove. Just take out the leather jackets and dry them in the sun every once in a while.

4. When storing leather jackets, avoid folding them. Long-term folding can cause damage to the leather and cracks. It is best to hang them in the closet with a hanger.
