LEATHER CARE INSTRUCTIONS
SEMI-ANILINE LEATHER
Caring for your soft semi-aniline leather, which is scratch-proof and water-resistant, will help maintain its beauty and longevity. Here are six care instructions to ensure your leather stays in excellent condition:
Regular Dusting: Gently dust your leather with a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a feather duster. This will help prevent dust and dirt from accumulating on the surface, which can lead to abrasions over time.
Spot Cleaning: In case of spills or stains, immediately blot the affected area with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid rubbing the stain, as it may push it further into the leather. If necessary, use a damp, lint-free cloth with mild soap specifically formulated for leather. Test the soap on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn't damage the leather's finish.
Conditioning: Apply a high-quality leather conditioner formulated for semi-aniline leather. Choose a conditioner that is recommended by the manufacturer or a reputable leather care brand. Conditioning helps replenish the natural oils in the leather, preventing it from becoming dry and brittle over time. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application frequency.
UV Protection: Keep your leather furniture or items away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the leather to fade and dry out. If possible, use curtains or blinds to reduce UV exposure in the area where your leather items are placed.
Avoid Sharp Objects: While your leather is scratch-proof to a certain extent, it's best to avoid placing sharp objects directly on its surface. Use coasters, placemats, and protective covers to prevent accidental scratches or cuts from sharp items.
Storage: If you need to store your leather items for an extended period, ensure they are in a cool, dry place with good ventilation. Cover them with breathable fabric or a soft cloth to protect them from dust and potential abrasions. Avoid using plastic covers, as they can trap moisture and lead to mold growth.
Remember that even scratch-proof and water-resistant leather can benefit from proper care and maintenance. By following these instructions, you'll help ensure your soft semi-aniline leather retains its luxurious look and feel for years to come.
VEGETABLE TANNED LEATHER
To ensure that your vegetable tanned leather product remains in excellent condition and retains its attractive appearance for years to come, kindly follow the care instructions provided below:
Avoid Excessive Moisture: While vegetable tanned leather is more resistant to water damage compared to other types of leather, it is still important to keep it away from excessive moisture. If your leather item gets wet, gently pat it dry using a soft, absorbent cloth. Avoid using heat sources such as hairdryers, radiators, or direct sunlight, as they can cause the leather to become stiff or crack.
Keep Away from Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can lead to fading and drying out of vegetable tanned leather. Therefore, it is advisable to store your leather item in a cool place, away from direct sunlight when not in use. If you need to leave it in your car, make sure to place it in the shade or cover it to protect it from the sun's rays.
Use a Leather Conditioner: Applying a leather conditioner periodically can help keep your vegetable tanned leather moisturized and supple. Make sure to choose a conditioner that is specifically designed for vegetable tanned leather. Avoid using waxes, silicone-based or oil-based products, as they can clog the pores and alter the appearance of the leather. Apply the conditioner using a clean, soft cloth and gently rub it into the leather in circular motions. Wipe off any excess conditioner and allow the leather to air dry.
Protect from Scratches and Sharp Objects: While vegetable tanned leather develops a rich patina over time, it is susceptible to scratches and marks. Avoid placing your leather item near sharp objects, and be cautious when wearing jewelry or garments with sharp edges that could potentially scratch the leather's surface.
Regular Cleaning: To remove dust and dirt from your vegetable tanned leather, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or solvents, as they can damage the leather. If your item requires a more thorough cleaning, consider using a mild leather cleaner, following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Storage: When not in use, store your vegetable tanned leather item in a breathable dust bag or a cotton pillowcase. Avoid using plastic bags or containers, as they can trap moisture and cause the leather to mold or get damaged.
