General Leather Care Tips

  1. •Leathers should be hung in an area with good ventilation avoiding direct sunlight and excessively dry or humid conditions


  1. •Hang your leathers on wide or padded hangers to avoid permanent marks or stretching


  1. •Do not store leathers in plastic or non-breathable containers or covers


  1. •Clean and Condition your leathers properly to keep them soft and supple



  1. •Avoid waxes and silicone. These products clog pores in the leather making it impossible for conditioners to penetrate between the fibers



  1. •Conditioner should be applied at least twice a year or when the leather feels dry or stiff



  1. •Leathers will repel water better if they have been conditioned regularly



  1. •Leather should be cleaned sparingly by professionals who specialize in leather cleaning



  1. •If necessary, a very small amount of saddle soap can be used with very little water to clean spots



  1. • Do not confuse conditioning with cleaning. Conditioners penetrate the leather while a cleaner should remove the dirt without causing it to penetrate into the fibers
