LEATHERCARE

The following are just a few simple suggestions for the basic care and cleaning of your leather items.

1. Instructions - Follow carefully any care instructions that might come with your product.
2. Test - Always test your chosen form of cleaning on your product in a small-unseen area.
3. Unfinished Leather - Please note that unfinished leathers are more prone to staining and will darken with water, and are more difficult to clean and keep clean.
4. General Clean - A damp cloth with a little moisturising soap lathered up well, will shine and generally clean your product up nicely. However do not rinse with water, use a soft non-abrasive dry cloth to buff the leather.
5. Water - If leather becomes soaked with water never try to dry the item quickly. Let it dry slowly and naturally. Water stains will generally need professional treatment.
6. Grease - If leather has a grease stain, try sprinkling the stain with cornstarch or talcum powder and leave for a few hours and this will absorb the grease. Finally just gently wipe or brush off the residue.
7. Salt - Salt stains on leather can usually be treated with a vinegar and water solution, which should be applied by dabbing on gently with a damp cloth.
8. Ink - Ink stains which are very tricky to remove, should be treated as soon as possible. One suggestion is to use a white eraser and if this does not work then professional cleaning is recommended.
9. Gum - To remove chewing gum from your product, you would first need to insert ice cubes into a plastic bag and rub the bag of cubes over the area containing the gum. When the gum has hardened then peel off the gum.
10. Consult - Finally, if you have any doubts on how to clean or maintain your leather product always consult a professional.
