Leather Care
General Info:
1) Do not store leather goods in plastic bags
or other nonporous covers which will prevent them from
breathing and can cause mildew.
2) Allow wet or damp leather to air-dry
naturally, far from any source of heat.
3)
Promptly remove any salt deposits (which can form especially
in winter) by wiping with a moistened cloth or sponge.
Once the item is dry you may apply a little conditioner
or saddle soap.
4) To prevent mildew, protect leather
from excessive humidity.
5) In a dry environment use from time
to time a leather conditioner or saddle soap (in very
small quantities) to prevent leather from drying and
cracking.
6) Do not use waxes, silicone or other
leather preparations that will impair the ability of
the leather to breathe.
7) Never use caustic household chemicals
to clean leather.
8) Avoid leather preparations that
contain alcohol.
9) Aviod turpentine and mineral spirits
which can cause colours to fade or bleed.
10) Use of oils or other animal fats
will darken leather. These can also turn rancid causing
the leather to rot.
