You must take a good care of your leather bags if you are a big fan of them. However, it is still not enough to well preserve your leather bag even if you always keep an eye on it. More importantly, we should also be armed with the tips that help us protect the leather bags in an efficient manner. Today, I am going to share with you some leather care tips.

1. You shall apply a layer of wax to the surface of a new leather bag before you begin to use it. As the bag corners are most easily subject to damages, you should apply a colorless nail polish to prevent the leather bag from being scraped and deformed.

2. Do not carry the same one every single day. Give each bag a break at intervals. When you try to put a leather bag aside for later use, you should stuff it with paper.

3. A leather bag becomes stained or changes its color when it is exposed to sweat or intense sunshine. Hence, you should flap it and apply oil or wax to its surface to prevent it from any damage.

4.You should first clean the surface and apply some adhesive glue to it evenly when you find the black spots coming off the surface.

5.Keep it out of the reach of water and even moisture.

6. Do not keep it in a cotton bag and a plastic bag as there is no airflow inside them. It is best to stuff the leather bag with soft tissues to keep it in its original shape. An old pillow is suitable when you can not find an appropriate cloth bag.

7. You should use cleansing cream to wipe the dirt off the surface when there is excessive amount of it. Thus, you will give your leather bag a brand new look. But you must wipe it with a dry cloth after you clean it.

8. You should use a soft cloth dipped with warm water to clean it when you find your leather bag being exposed to beer, soda or coffee.

9. You should rip the chewing gum off the surface and wipe the surface with a

cloth when it is stuck to the surface.

10. It is best to have your leather bag cleaned thoroughly once a week before wiping it with a soft cotton cloth dipped with water.

11. You should clean the leather bag with a mixture of water and fresh milk and wipe it with a soft cloth. Such method not only efficiently removes the dust but also helps extend the service life of a leather bag.

12. Do not expose the leather bag to the sunshine or any straight light for a long time. Or, its color will come off or begins to change. It is not recommended to put some astringents inside the leather bag.

As I am going to wrap up, I really hope those leather care tips can be useful for you to be with your loved leather bags longer.
