Leather Care and Cleaning Tips
Caring for your fine leather products is not difficult. there are just a few things to remember. First, leather is an organic material. The tanning process, if done correctly and well, can help to preserve your leathers but, given the wrong environment or poor care, leather can mold, mildew and decay.
The general rule of thumb is that, if you are comfortable, your leather products are, too. After exposure to too much cold, heat, moisture, dryness or chemicals, your leather is likely to need a bit of care.
For leather products that will last as long as possible and remain in optimum condition, it should be kept free of excess moisture, heat and chemicals, such as road salt and grime. Our Snow and Weather Proof is an excellent preventative product that helps minimize damage.
If your leather gets wet, place it in a well ventilated area at room temperature. All straps or pieces that can be laid flat should be. Harnesses, leashes, collars and belts can be hung. Never place your leather products in direct sunlight to dry them. Do not place your leather products on or very near a heat vent or radiator. Allow leather to dry thoroughly. A fan can often help dry your leather more quickly.
Once the leather is completely dry, use a good quality leather cleaner such as our Bickmore Leather Cleaner or Glycerin Saddle Soap. Wipe it clean by vigorously rubbing with a soft cloth. Once clean, apply a good quality leather conditioner such as our Bickmore Leather Conditioner. Then begin massaging your leather in your hands and through your fingers. To apply conditioner, do not use a towel or rag as this will soak up more of your conditioner than your leather will. Pour a bit into the palm of your hand and rub your hands together. Then massage it into the leather. Re-apply as necessary. Allow a few minutes to dry.
If your leather gets dirty, wipe it clean with a damp soft cloth and allow to dry. If desired, a mild Glycerin Saddle Soap or Liquid Leather Cleaner can be used. Once the leather is dry, apply a small amount of Conditioner by rubbing it in with your hands.
If you live in a very hot, very dry, very cold or very humid climate, apply small amounts of Conditioner to your clean leather periodically to help keep it soft and supple.
