At Blue&Blues, we craft leather goods that are designed to last a lifetime. But even the finest leather needs a little care to stay beautiful and functional. With these simple tips, you can keep your leather products looking their best and ensure they age gracefully. Let’s dive in!
1. CLEAN
Dust and dirt can dull your leather’s shine. Keep it looking fresh with these steps:
- Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust.
- For stains that require a deeper clean, dampen a cloth with mild soap or a leather cleaner. Always test on a small area first.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the leather to prevent damage.
2. CONDITION
Leather can dry out over time, leading to cracks. Conditioning helps maintain its natural flexibility:
- Apply a quality leather conditioner every few months.
- Use a soft cloth to massage it into the leather in small circles.
- Don’t over-condition—too much can make leather feel greasy.
3. PROTECT
Leather isn’t naturally waterproof, so take steps to shield it:
- Use a water-repellent spray made for leather to guard against moisture and stains.
- If your leather gets wet, blot it with a dry cloth and let it air dry. Never use direct heat.
- Dab spills immediately to minimize staining.
4. STORE
Proper storage keeps leather in perfect shape:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and drying.
- Use breathable dust bags or cotton covers instead of plastic, which traps moisture.
- Stuff bags and shoes with acid-free tissue paper to retain their shape.
5. CARE
Everyday habits can extend the life of your leather goods:
- Avoid overloading bags to prevent stretching and distortion.
- Use a shoehorn for your leather footwear to avoid unnecessary creases.
- Keep leather away from sharp objects that can scratch or puncture it.
Scratches are part of leather’s story, but you can minimize them:
- Gently rub minor scuffs with your finger or a soft cloth to blend them.
- For deeper marks, apply a small amount of leather conditioner or color-matching polish.
