Leather bags, as a relatively expensive item, are always carefully chosen in purchasing by people, but the problem is many buyers dont know or know little about how to maintain leather bags. As a result, their previous efforts often go down the drain. Then how to make your leather bags as intact and polished as new? Just check out the leather care tips as I mentioned following. I hope they will be helpful to you.
First, as to a newly-bought leather bag, one could rub its leather surface with palms which will help eradicate minor creases. And then dust it off before rubbing it with oil doused napkin. But take care that the oil is especially meant to wipe leather bags instead of for other purposes.
Second, there are occasions that we are caught up in a heavy rain and our leather bags are totally drenched. In such circumstances, wipe the water away its leather surface and dry it up in a ventilated space rather than impose it directly to the sunlight.
Third, if a leather bag is kept idle for a long time, youd better put it away in a proper way. It is because the moisture and other substances will oxidize the metal accessories attached on the leather bag. But before putting it away, clean the dust rests on the surface and cram it with paper craps to keep it from being out of shape. And the wardrobe in which the leather bag is put away must be kept ventilated.
Fourth, as we know, the patent leather is usually extremely fragile and is prone to creases and cracks. Therefore, dont rub it with any coarse paper craps or crude napkins. Rather, rub it with clothing as soft and tender as napkins and take care to be gentle.
Fifth, if the leather bag gets bruised in the surface, rub the place where is bruised with leather care cream and polish it with clean and soft napkin. As to speckles occurred to the leather surface, mild alcohol solvent and a piece of sponge will kill it easily.
Sixth, the natural grease in the leather will wear away due to frequent use and the passage of time. Therefore, a leather bag needs to be oil and cared regularly. This is especially true of premium leather bags. So it is suggested that dusting and oiling to be done every time before it is put away in the wardrobe.
