Four Misunderstandings in Leather Care

Four Misunderstandings in Leather Care

1. Prohibit the use of anti-fungal agents

Many people worry that if leather products are not used for a long time, mildew will occur, so some people will put some anti-mold agent in the bag. However, the anti-mold agent contains volatile components, and long-term use will damage the leather. Normally, you only need to pay attention to the well-ventilated cabinets and low temperature when storing leather goods; and to store leather goods, they must be wrapped in a cotton dust-proof bag, and some waste newspapers should be stuffed into the bag.

2. Cleanliness

Leather products will inevitably appear dust or stains after being used for a long time, but too frequent daily cleaning will damage the leather. Therefore, a leather garment should be maintained once a year. If the bag is not worn, it does not need to be maintained as long as it is cleaned; for stains, a special leather cleaner is required to remove the stains, and remember not to wash or expose it to the sun.

3. Avoid using shoe polish

Shoe polish should not be used in daily care leather products. Shoe polish contains volatile ingredients, so it is not suitable for soft leather products such as purses and wallets; if the volatile content in shoe polish penetrates into the leather, it will destroy the leather's own grease, thereby reducing the gloss of the leather and causing cracks. , Decolorization and other phenomena.

4. Choose professional care products

Daily care leather products must use good care products. Good care products should have the characteristics of non-volatile, neutral pH, good permeability, and oil content. Good care products can effectively protect the leather and keep the leather's luster and feel forever.
