How to maintain a leather bracelet

1. Clean the dirty surface

Whether it is genuine leather shoes or leather clothing, as long as you wear it, it will be contaminated with dirt and dust, so it must be cleaned after daily use. Unfortunately, it can also prevent some dirt from staying on the leather for a long time, making the leather more challenging to clean.

When cleaning the surface, you can use white vinegar mixed with water and apply a cloth to the leather to wipe off dirt and dust. If the ground is severe and there is no suitable cleaning agent around, please send it to a professional store for cleaning immediately.

 

2. Pick the right leather oil

If it is leather material, you can choose natural animal oil, such as mink oil or salmon nourishing oil, this type of oil is mainly to help leather maintenance. However, different brands of animal oil have additional absorption and ductility. For example, although mink oil is cheap and easy to use, it is difficult to spread evenly, and the absorption effect is relatively slow unless the leather is already in a ravenous state. In addition, if you are in maintenance, choosing leather oil containing wax ingredients is not recommended. Although the application will be very shiny, too much wax will affect the breathability and reduce the life of the leather.

 

3. Small worn leather can be repaired naturally

If there are some minor scratches on the leather, at this time, you can gently and slowly wipe with your fingertips, palms, or cotton cloth. Use your hands or a little leather oil to wipe along with the scratches. Slowly remove minor scratches.

 

4. Collection should be appropriate

After careful maintenance, the collection should also be appropriate. Avoid placing leather goods in places that are too humid or hot, and also avoid direct sunlight. Too much humidity will quickly make the leather moldy, and long-term exposure will cause the leather dry and crack. So try to put it in a ventilated and relaxed place.

 

Remember: When cleaning leather goods, use a soft cotton cloth and leather wax to clean them so that the leather surface will not be damaged, and all leather goods should not be washed directly in water.

 

Precautions:

1. Avoid the following points during use: rainwater immersion, long-term sunlight exposure, high temperature above 70°C, do not directly rub against rough objects and avoid contact with corrosive substances such as acid and alkali.

 

2. When the leather is torn and damaged, it should be repaired in time. If there are small cracks, you can apply egg white to the trials, and the shots can be glued.

 

3. If the leather is only slightly moldy, you can directly wipe it with a dry cloth, wipe it with 75% alcohol, and finally, maintain it with maintenance oil once and wait for the leather oil to absorb. Do not rub with water and gasoline; water can harden the leather, and petrol can volatilize the fat of the leather and dry it.

 

When the leather has been used for some time, there will inevitably be scratches or signs of wear. The first thing we need to do is observe the leather's condition, whether there is severe damage or just lack of maintenance, and then determine the proper cleaning, maintenance, and repair actions. Otherwise, random maintenance will damage the leather.
