Five elements for the maintenance of high-grade leather products

Leather clothing (leather jackets, fur coats, leather vests, leather pants, leather skirts, etc.) has reached the collection season. Because skins contain protein components, special attention must be paid to avoid moisture, mildew, and insects. In the collection, Xiao Bian reminded everyone that there are five things that must be done:

First, when high-grade leather clothing is worn, it may be stained with oil or dirt. Clean the surface with a clean cotton cloth, and gently wipe off the dust with a clean cloth. Then wipe gently with a velvet cloth on a neutral detergent or egg white. After the dirt is wiped off, wipe it off with clean water and hang it in a ventilated place. Avoid using a fire or placing it in the sun.

Second, if leather garments are found to have tears, stitches fall off, missing buttons, missing zippers, damaged clips, etc., they should be promptly repaired or exchanged.

Third, the leather wrinkles can be ironed with an electric iron, the temperature is generally between 60-70 degrees Celsius, with a thin cotton cloth as lining, constantly moving the iron. If the leather surface has lost its luster, you can polish it with a "leather polish", but do not rub it with shoe polish. It is not difficult to polish the leather. Just use a cloth to apply the liquid and gently apply it to the clothing one or two times. In general, polishing once every two or three years can keep leather garments shiny and extend the life of leather garments.

Fourth, it is best to use a hanger to hang in the wardrobe when collecting, but do not hang it together with other wool, chemical fiber clothing, and can be separated with cotton cloth. Can also be placed in the box, should be flat, should not be folded. Because of the long folding time, wrinkle marks are difficult to recede. Avoid chemicals such as mothballs or insect repellents in the box so as not to cause pan-color reaction on the leather surface.

Fifth, after the rainy season, you must remove the leather clothing to check for mildew. If moldy spots are present, mold must be promptly picked up and placed in the morning sun for an hour before collecting.
