| BOOTS/LEATHER CARE - TIPS & TECHNIQUES
|
-
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. Avoid extreme heat or humidity that may damage the skin's natural oils. Excessive dryness can cause cracking; excessive moisture can cause mildew.
-
Should mildew occur, sponge over with one part clear vinegar and two parts water, the vinegar helps to kill the mildew.
-
Leather can be treated with a leather conditioner yearly to restore flexibility and proper moisture levels.
-
After drying - Suede and Nubuck can be brushed with a terry towel to restore its look.
-
In winter, promptly remove salt deposits from products by sponging with clear water, then follow with the above treatment for wet or damp leather.
