How To Clean Leather? Different Leathers Have Different Cleaning Techniques

Because leather is made of protein, the preservation of leather clothing must first consider anti-moth and moisture. So how to wash leather clothing? As we all know, leather clothing must not be washed directly with water. Leather clothing should be cleaned and cared for with professional leather cleaners, and the pH value of the cleaner should be between 5-7.5. If the pH value is less than 5 or greater than 7.5, the internal structure of the leather will be destroyed by the cleaner, and the service life of the leather will be shortened. Once stained with sweat or rain, immediately use a dry soft cloth or soft paper to absorb the sweat and rain, then wipe with a damp soft cloth, and then hang it to dry. If your leather is stained with a bit of stubborn stains, different leathers can refer to the following methods:

If the smooth leather product is very dirty, you can wipe it with a soft brush dipped in leather cleaning and care agent or a clean flannel cloth. You can also use a protein solution instead. If there is no professional cleaner, this can not only remove stains, but also make the leather surface shiny. If the stain is more stubborn, it is also effective to apply a layer of vaseline with a soft cloth and wipe it repeatedly. Leather clothing made of suede, suede, cashmere, and fur is washed as a whole, and it is easy to fade and absorb dirt during washing. You can simply spray colorless oil on the top layer, but this may cause cracks. If the coating is too thick, it will change the original style of the leather clothing and lose the leather feel. During the washing process, this type of leather clothing will have varying degrees of whitening, dirt, light color, pattern, oil stains, etc., so it is necessary to carefully maintain it and reduce unnecessary washing. Smooth leather is a special kind of leather, which is very delicate. It has only one layer of machine-pressed film, and there is no coating on the surface. It is not waterproof and even absorbs water. Glossy leather should be dry-cleaned to avoid damaging the surface coating of the leather. In addition, only colorless oil can be applied during the cleaning process, and no color can be applied. Therefore, if the glossy leather itself has stains, there will still be traces after washing, which cannot be covered even after oiling.

When your PU Leather is still relatively new and clean after wearing it for a year, you can wipe it clean with a damp cloth, blow it dry in the wind for one or two hours, avoid exposure to the sun, then collect it and dry it in the shade, gently pat it with duck eggs, spread it on the leather coat for 3 to 4 hours, and then wipe the egg white with a soft cloth. When you take it out to wear it the next year, you can wipe it with a warm, moist and soft cloth, blow it dry with the wind, then apply lanolin, and then use a 300W electric iron to iron it with a white cloth, so that the leather can remain the same. Don't be afraid of mold, because in this case, wipe it dry with warm water. This is mainly because the anti-mildew effect of the leather gradually disappears during the kneading process or when the weather is humid, and it will not have a great impact on the leather.

After three to five years, if the leather jacket begins to wear, or the main parts fade and fluff after friction, it is not too late to decontaminate and polish it. Of course, this refers to leather jackets or good leather jackets. If you buy low-end goods, you may not be able to use this method.
