Ultimate Guide For Taking Care of Leather Goods

Leather fades, peels, and cracks with time, especially if not properly cared for. This is quite upsetting for all your leather purses, handbags, shoes, wallets, jeans, and coats. Fortunately, understanding how to care for your leather accessories and clothing is not difficult.

This comprehensive leather care guide includes both basic leather maintenance and expert cleaning. Keep your prized possessions looking fresh every time you wear them. Since there are numerous varieties of leather, all of them need different ways of care, thus there is no one-size-fits-all answer. But, before we get into how to care for various types of leather, here are some basic guidelines and nitty-gritty that you can do to conserve any leather products and extend its longevity.

Here are some of the facts to consider for specific leather goods:

For Shoes:

Keep cedar wood shoe trees in your leather shoes (especially dress shoes) while you aren't wearing them. This preserves the form, minimizes wrinkles, and absorbs excess moisture/odors naturally. Dress shoes should be cleaned and polished on a more frequent basis. Daily wear boots don't require as much care, but they should be cleaned bi-weekly and conditioned every six months, based on the climate of the place.

For Bags or Purses:

The key thing to remember here is to prevent overfilling leather bags and wallets. Leather will not return to its former shape after it has been deformed. Bags often require less care

than shoes since they do not take the same battering as footwear. However, clean them down on a regular basis and condition them bi-yearly.

 For Jackets:

Wipe them down after a few uses, and condition them every 6 months or so if they are used frequently. It all comes down to how the thing seems; if it feels dry and minor cracks form, pay attention to it. When it comes to leather jackets, you typically want that soft and supple feel, therefore opt for lanolin-based solutions.

To summarize, make sure you have a proper routine to keep your leather products fresh and squeaky clean. And it is a must to buy products after reading all the specifications as different leathers have different properties and you need proper care for that.
