Leather Care and Cleaning
Here
are a few tips on caring for your leather garments:
- Always
hang leather garments on wide or padded hangers to maintain their shape.
- Never
store leather goods in plastic or other non-breathable covers. This
will cause leather to become dry.
- Allow
wet or damp leather to air-dry naturally away from any heat source.
- In
winter, promptly remove salt deposits from garments by having the
garment professionally cleaned.
- Avoid
storing in very humid and dry environments as well as direct sunlight.
- Do
not use waxes, silicone products or other leather preparations that
impair a garment's ability to breathe.
- Avoid
spraying perfumes or hair sprays while wearing your garment and do not
apply pins, adhesive badges or tape. Wearing a scarf at the neckline
will help keep hair and body oil away from the collar.
- Hems
may be fixed with a tiny amount of rubber cement by a leather care
professional.
- All
products used at home should be tested on an inconspicuous part of the
garment.
What
you should know about leather cleaning:
The
Leather Apparel Association recommends professional leather cleaning
for all leathers, and fabric garments trimmed with leather or suede.
The LAA also advises consumers to clean matching garments at the same
time, since a slight variation in color or texture may occur as a
natural result of the cleaning process.
