Do You Know How To Maintain Leather To Make It More Beautiful
Leather, like denim, can change color naturally after long-term exposure to the sun and use, thus becoming a unique personal product. This is because of the oxidation of plant tannins in leather, so the original color of leather is light beige or light beige, and slowly turns into yellow-brown or brown-red after precipitation over time. But it is undeniable that leather at any stage has its unique charm.
Many people can't wait to use leather goods right after buying them, but in the long run, it is more appropriate to do pre-maintenance. Just like the commonly used wallets, the original color of the leather is displayed when it is just bought, but after pre-maintenance, it exudes a honey-colored luster. This has two advantages: one is that it is visually, ornamentally, and has a better service life; the other is that in daily use, after the color becomes darker, it is more resistant to stains.
It is recommended to polish the newly bought PU Leather with a clean cloth, and then apply it evenly with mink oil or horn oil. Care cream is also a good choice. After application, place it in a sunny place, but avoid direct sunlight at noon. Choosing gentle sunlight can also make the oil on the surface of the leather absorb better. Another important reason is sun exposure, because the vegetable tannins in vegetable tanned leather will emit at high temperatures, which will directly cause the color of the leather to change, and have a certain ripening effect on the leather. After being exposed to the sun and wiped with a clean cloth, it can be used.
As for the standard for judging whether maintenance is needed, I personally think it is better to touch the leather goods and feel a little dry. Some people buy leather goods and do not maintain them once, and even the best leather will crack. You can check your leather goods. If you find traces of broken edges on the leather, it is because of lack of maintenance.
When maintaining the leather, take out all the items inside, so that every corner of the leather product can be fully cared for and maintained. After that, use a soft brush to remove dust from the leather goods, paying attention to the places where the seams and seams are not easy to brush. Then quickly wipe the entire leather surface with a clean cotton cloth dipped in an appropriate amount of maintenance oil. It should be noted here that if it is contaminated by too much maintenance oil, it is easy to cause spots on the leather surface, so be sure to apply a thinner layer and wipe it quickly. Next, just put the leather goods in a sunny place for about an hour (avoid direct sunlight), and the maintenance oil can penetrate into the leather, and the leather care is basically completed.
Then, I hope everyone can make more beautiful leather goods, because leather goods are alive. Maybe when we are old, they will be our spiritual wealth and a work that can comfort our souls.
