In addition to high heels, girls' favorite items are undoubtedly bags. To pay for their long years of hard work, many girls will spend a lot of money to buy high-end leather bags, but these leather bags are not easy to wrinkle and mold if they are not cleaned and maintained, improperly stored. The cleaning and maintenance of the leather bag is not difficult at all. As long as you are diligent, you can use the same method, the beloved high-end brand-name bag can be beautiful. I will teach you some simple leather bag cleaning and maintenance methods.
1. Storage does not squeeze
When the leather bag is not in use, it is best to store it in a cotton bag. If there is no suitable bag, the old pillowcase is also very suitable. Don't put it in a plastic bag. Because the air inside the plastic bag is not circulating, the leather will be dried. Damaged. It is also best to put some cloth, small pillows or white paper in the bag to keep the shape of the bag.
There are a few points to note here: one is that the bags should not be stacked; the other is the cabinet used to store the leather products, which must be kept ventilated, but the desiccant can be placed in the cabinet; the third is that the unused leather bags should be fixed for a period of time. Take out oil maintenance and air drying to extend the service life.
2. Regular cleaning every week
The absorption of leather is strong, and some even see capillary pores. It is best to develop weekly cleaning and maintenance to prevent the formation of stains. Use a soft cloth, wring it out with water, and then wipe the leather bag repeatedly, then wipe it with a dry cloth and put it in a dry place. It is worth noting that the leather bag should not touch the water most. If it rains on the back, if it gets into the rain, or if it is accidentally spilled by water, remember to dry it with a dry cloth immediately. Do not blow it with a hairdryer.
In addition, you can also use a clean soft cloth dampened with Vaseline (or leather-specific maintenance oil) every month to wipe the surface of the bag, so that the surface of the cortex maintains a good "skin quality" to avoid cracking, and also Can have a basic waterproof effect, remember to let stand for about 30 minutes after wiping. It should be noted that Vaseline or maintenance oil should not be applied too much, so as not to block the pores of the leather, resulting in airtightness.
3. Dirty appears to be cleared immediately
If the leather bag is accidentally stained, you can use a cotton pad to remove the oil and gently wipe the dirt to avoid too much force and leave marks. As for the metal fittings on the bag, if there is a slight oxidation, you can wipe it with a silver cloth or a copper tarpaulin.
If you find that the leather products are moldy, if the situation is not serious, you can use a dry cloth to wipe off the mold on the surface, then spray 75% medicinal alcohol on another clean soft cloth, wipe the whole leather, and after the ventilation is dry. Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly or maintenance oil to prevent mold from breeding again. If the mold is wiped with a dry cloth, there are still mold spots, which means that the mold has been deeply planted in the leather. It is recommended that the leather products be sent to a professional leather care store for treatment.
4. Scratch can be used to push the swab
When the bag is scratched, it can be slowly and gently swabbed with the fingertips until the scratches fade along with the oil on the leather. If the scratch is still very obvious, it is recommended to send the leather products to a professional leather care store. In case of discoloration due to scratching, you can first wipe the colored block with a dry cloth, then apply a proper amount of leather repair cream with a sponge, evenly spread it in a sloppy place, let it stand for 10 to 15 minutes, and finally use it clean. The cotton cloth can wipe the block repeatedly.
5. Control humidity
If the budget is sufficient, use an electronic moisture-proof box to store leather products, the effect will be better than the average cabinet. Controlling the humidity of the electronic moisture barrier to a relative humidity of about 50% allows the leather product to be stored in a dry, not too dry environment. If there is no moisture-proof box in the house, you can use a dehumidifier to dehumidify and avoid excessive moisture in your home.
6. Avoid contact with rough and sharp objects
To keep the leather bag soft and comfortable, do not overload the object and avoid damage caused by friction with rough and sharp objects. Also, avoid boiling in the hot sun, roast or squeeze, do not approach flammable products, accessories do not get wet, do not approach acid.

7. When the leather bag is not in use, it is best to store it in the cotton cloth. Do not put it in a plastic bag. Because the air inside the plastic bag does not circulate, the leather will be too dry and damaged. It is best to put some soft toilet paper inside the bag to keep the shape of the bag. If there is no suitable bag, the old pillowcase is also very suitable.
8. Leather bags, like shoes, are another type of active substance. The same leather bag is used every day. It is easy to cause the elasticity of the leather to be tired. Therefore, it should be used as a shoe, and it can be used interchangeably. If the bag is accidentally wet, You can use a dry towel to dry the water first, and then stuff some newspapers, magazines and the like in the shade, do not expose it directly under the sun, which will make your beloved bag fade and deform.
