Leather

One of the best parts about owning a product made of full grain leather is that it will age beautifully and develop its own unique patina. Because it’s the highest grade of leather, full grain leather doesn’t require much maintenance. But as leather may be susceptible to dirt, scratches, and smudges, you might want to restore it to the pristine condition it was in when you first bought it. If so, please follow these few steps:

CLEANING YOUR LEATHER

The key to cleaning full grain leather is a light touch and a mild cleaning product. Stay away from leather cleaners and saddle soap. You might think these products are fine for cleaning your full grain leather product, but they're better suited for products meant to withstand a lot of wear and tear, like sofas or boots. The harsh chemicals often found in these cleaners could affect the color, strength, and texture of your leather.
Instead, when cleaning your full grain leather products, you’ll want to use a soft microfiber cloth, warm water, and a mild hand soap. Dip the cloth in the soapy water and wring it out so it’s only damp, not saturated. Gently rub it on the leather—be sure not to scrub! This should be sufficient to remove any dirt or oil stains. When you’re done with this step, wipe off the leather gently with a dry cloth to avoid warping the leather. Let the leather completely dry in the shape you want your product to remain in (for example, if you’re cleaning a wallet, let it dry in the folded position). Let it dry naturally and don’t use any heaters, hairdryers, or direct sunlight. Any of these can fade and warp the leather, so it’s very important that you let your product dry at room temperature.
Once the leather is dry, you’ll want to use a leather cream or conditioner to keep the leather supple and waterproof. Take a soft cloth, sponge, or cotton towel, dip it in the cream, and rub it evenly and gently into the leather.

MAINTAINING YOUR LEATHER

The best way to avoid staining your leather good is to wipe everything away right when it gets on the leather. This includes simple water spills—full grain leather is water resistant but not waterproof. Letting water remain on your product for a prolonged time will leave a stain.. If you want to be extra sure to keep your leather looking pristine, it’s a good idea to wipe it down with a slightly damp cloth every so often and clean it with soap and water as per above once every few months. This will also reduce any marks that come with the natural oils from your hands, although many users find these marks to be a desirable trait instead of something to be avoided – the so-called patina.

RESTORING YOUR LEATHER

Every scratch and smudge tells the story of where your leather has been: one scratch may show how you dropped it in a café, a water stain may be from when you were caught in a storm in a rainy vacation destination. Because leather is unique in that these imperfections add to rather than take away from its rich appearance, many people find these marks to be a positive aspect of owning a leather product. However, if you want to restore your leather to the way it looked when you first got it, please follow the guideline mentioned in the “Cleaning your leather” section.

Vegan Leather

Vegan leather is in fact a plastic-based material and should be treated as such. As all plastics reacts to sunlight and UV rays and will degrade over time, please avoid leaving it in the sun or on hot surfaces.
The best way to clean your recycled plastic-based product is to use a soft microfiber cloth, warm water, and a mild hand soap for cleaning.
Dip the cloth in the soapy water and wring it out so it’s only damp, not saturated. Gently rub off any dirt —be sure not to scrub as you can scratch the surface and by that opening it up and making it more prone to dirt. This cleaning method should be sufficient to remove any dirt or oil stains. When you’re done with this step, wipe off any moist on the product with a dry cloth and continue enjoying your product.
