Apart from high heels, girls’ favorite item is undoubtedly a bag. In order to reward their years of hard work, many girls will spend a lot of money to buy high-end leather bags, but if these leather bags are not cleaned and maintained, and stored improperly, they can easily become wrinkled and moldy. In fact, cleaning and maintenance of genuine leather bags is not difficult at all. As long as you are diligent and use the right method, your beloved high-end brand bag can be beautiful and unchanged. Now the editor will teach you some simple cleaning and maintenance methods for genuine leather bags.
1. When the storage and non-squeeze
is not used, it is best to store it in a cotton bag. If there is no suitable cloth bag, the old pillowcase is actually very suitable. Never put it in a plastic bag, because the air in the plastic bag does not circulate, which will cause the leather to be too dry and damage. It is also best to stuff some fabric, small pillows or white paper into the bag to maintain the shape of the bag.
Here are a few points to note: First, do not stack the bags; second, the cabinet used to store leather products must be kept ventilated, but desiccant can be placed in the cabinet; third, the leather bags that are not used must be fixed for a period of time to take them out and oil and maintain and air-dry them, so as to extend the service life.
2. Clean the leather regularly every week. It has strong absorption capacity, and some even see the pores. It is best to clean and maintain it every week to prevent stains from occurring. Use soft fabric and wrinkle it dry. Wipe the leather bag repeatedly, then wipe it with a dry cloth, and place it in a ventilated place to dry. It is worth noting that genuine leather bags are most likely to be exposed to water. If they carry them out on rainy days, if they are exposed to rain or are accidentally sprinkled with water, remember to dry them with a dry cloth immediately and do not blow with a hair dryer.
In addition, you can also use a clean soft cloth to dip it in a little Vaseline (or leather-specific maintenance oil) every month to wipe the surface of the bag to maintain a good "skin texture" on the surface to avoid cracking, and at the same time it can have a basic waterproof effect. Remember to let it sit for about 30 minutes after the wipe is finished. It should be noted that you should not apply too much Vaseline or maintenance oil to avoid blocking the pores of the leather and making it impermeable.
3. If the stain appears, remove immediately if the leather bag is accidentally stained, you can use a cotton pad to dip some makeup remover and gently wipe the dirt to avoid excessive force and leaving traces. As for the metal accessories on the bag, if there is a slight oxidation, you can wipe it with a silver or copper oil cloth.
If you find that the leather products are moldy, if the situation is not serious, you can first wipe off the mold on the surface with a dry cloth, then spray 75% medicinal alcohol on another clean soft cloth, wipe the entire leather, and after ventilation and drying, apply a thin layer of Vaseline or maintenance oil to prevent the mold from growing again. If mold spots still exist after wiping the surface with a dry cloth, it means that the mold mycelium has been deeply planted into the leather. It is recommended that the leather products be sent to a professional leather maintenance store for treatment.
4. When scratches occur, you can use the fingertips to push and wipe them slowly and gently until the scratches fade along the oil on the leather. If the scratches are still obvious, it is recommended to send the leather products to a professional leather maintenance store for treatment. In case it fades due to scratches, you can first wipe the faded block with a dry cloth, then dip the sponge with an appropriate amount of leather repair paste, apply evenly to a flawed place, let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes, and finally wipe the block repeatedly with a clean cotton cloth.
5. Control humidity
If the budget is sufficient, use an electronic moisture-proof box to store genuine leather products, the effect will be better than that of ordinary cabinets. Controlling the humidity of the electronic moisture-proof box to a relative humidity of about 50% can keep the leather products in a dry environment without being too dry. If there is no moisture-proof box at home, you can use a dehumidifier to dehumidify to avoid excessive humidity at home.
6. Avoid contact with rough and sharp objects. The leather bag should be kept soft and comfortable, and do not overload the object, and avoid friction with rough and sharp objects and damage. In addition, it is also avoided to burn out under the scorching sun, roast or squeeze in fire, do not approach flammable products, do not get damp or close to acidic items, etc. Use and maintenance of genuine leather bags: 1. Keep them dry and store them in a ventilated and cool place.
2. Do not expose, roast, wash in water, impact sharp objects or contact chemical solvents.
3. The handbag is wet with any waterproofing procedure. Please wipe it dry with a soft cloth to prevent stains or watermarks from leaving wrinkles on the surface. If used on rainy days, special attention should be paid.
4. It is not advisable to use shoe polish casually.
5. Do not wet water when grinding sand skin. It should be cleaned with raw glue and special supplies, and shoe polish should not be used.
6. Care should be taken to protect all metal accessories, as moisture and high salt environments will cause oxidation. The best way to preserve genuine leather bags
7. When the genuine leather bag is not in use, it is best to store it in a cotton cloth instead of put it in a plastic bag, because the air in the plastic bag does not circulate, which will cause the leather to be too dry and damage. It is best to stuff some soft toilet paper into the bag to keep the shape of the bag. If there is no suitable cloth bag, old pillowcases are also suitable for use.
8. A leather bag is another type of active substance, just like shoes. Using the same leather bag every day can easily cause elasticity and fatigue of the leather, so it should be used interactively like shoes. If the leather bag is accidentally wet, you can first use a dry towel to absorb the moisture, and then stuff some newspapers, magazines and other things into it. Never expose it directly to the sun, as it will fade and deform your beloved bag.
