LEATHERCARE
The following
are just a few simple suggestions for the basic care and
cleaning of your leather items.
-
Instructions
- Follow carefully any care instructions that
might come with your product.
-
Test
- Always test your chosen form of cleaning on
your product in a small-unseen area.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Consult
- Finally, if you have any doubts on how to clean
or maintain your leather product always consult a
professional.
