Taking care of leather in general is rather simple and
straightforward. These suggestions may apply to most
kinds of leather. Exceptions are suede and nubuck. Want

Dirt
Dirt can usually be removed by wiping it off by using a
clean cloth. The cloth can be barely moist. Saddle soaps
and other cleaning detergents are not to be used. These
remove the natural oils of the leather and instead of
protecting leather may cause permanent damage. If you
own gloves and similar leather accessories you may use
leather cream but use sparingly. This will help enrich the
leather material. Want to buy Top Designer Leather

Storage
In keeping your leather accessories, it is best to avoid
having the leather items come into contact with each other.
The finishing may cause the leather items to stick
together. Plastic bags are not the best wrap for all
accessories, tissue paper is recommended. Plastic is the
cause of excessive drying of the leather. Avoid extreme
temperatures, whether hot or cold and humidity. This is
especially a constant problem in south-east Asia. Avoid
extreme dryness, too. Your leather should not be exposed
to direct sunlight or heat for long periods of time. It will
cause your leather to dry. Want to buy Top Designer

For leather coats or jackets, store them on a wide
wooden, plastic or padded hanger. This will help maintain
the shape. Store your leather products in a well-ventilated,
cool and dry place. Use cloth like cotton sheets or any
cloth that is breathable to cover your leather. If your leather
clothing acquires wrinkles or creases, let them hang out.
Ironing is not necessary. If you think you should iron it,
place heavy brown paper over the leather and use
medium to cool temperature of the iron. By all means, do
not overheat the leather. This will result in an unnecessary
permanent shine. Want to buy Top Designer Leather

as key chains. This will cause the leather to sag and
stretch.
Suede & nubuck
Suede leather is a special kind of leather made from
calfskin. The leather is buffed on the flesh side. It is very
soft and resembles fabric. Nubuck is similar that it is
buffed to have the fabric-like quality. These kinds of
leather are not fit for everyday use and cleaning them
needs special cleaning kits.
Wet
When your leather becomes wet do not put it into the
dryer. Let it dry at normal room temperature. Empty the
leather item first and stuff it up with tissue paper and let it
stand to dry. Like dry cleaning, putting your leather product
into the clothes dryer may cause permanent damage. If
your leather has fur, use a hair blower and set it to the
lowest temperature. Let it blow on the fur and shake the fur
during the drying process. Want to buy Top Designer

Special tips for exotic leathers
The key in caring for exotic leathers here is using the
minimum or mild. Use a mild cleaner and conditioner for
skins derived from reptiles or snakeskins. The cleaner and
conditioner mentioned here are products designed to
clean leather. As mentioned, they should be mild. Leather
care products are not the same. Products that are used for
smooth leather may leave a residue. Do not use such
products. This may build up later on around the base of the
scales and cause the scales to crack of fall off. Want to

Additional tips
Do not send your leather clothing to the dry cleaners. Dry
cleaning will remove the natural oils of the leather resulting
in cracking, fading and shrinking. If the stains seem to be
stubborn, you may need to send it to a leather specialist.
Even then, there may be some slight discolouration or
changes in size. If your leather comes in sets or pairs such
as gloves and matching garments, these should be sent
together. The specialist will be able to make the colours
match. Want to buy Top Designer Leather Jackets?
If you are unsure of special leather cleaning kits or leather
care kits, test it first on a part of the leather item that is not
visible when worn or used. An example is the inside part
of a leather jacket. You will be able to see results and
evaluate if it is indeed useful in protecting and caring for
your leather. Want to buy Top Designer Leather Jackets?
When dressing up, do not apply hair sprays or perfumes
while wearing leather. This may cause stains or
discolouration. Do not attach pins or adhesive tags or
badges to the leather. Pins will puncture the leather and
later on the holes may stretch or tear the leather. Adhesive
tags or badges may create permanent stains. Want to buy
