Leather has a certain toughness and elasticity, and when it becomes less tough, it will collapse. Just like real leather shoes, new shoes are more comfortable to wear. Maintenance of ordinary leather
No matter what kind of leather products, the most common maintenance is to prevent mildew. Mold is the main cause of leather mildew, and humidity is the root of mold propagation. Therefore, leather products should be kept ventilated and dry during storage to avoid direct sunlight, and leather should be dried in time when it is damp.
When leather products are stained with sweat or rain, they should be immediately absorbed with dry soft cloth or soft paper, then wiped with wet soft cloth, and then hung to dry. If you get oil, scrub the dirty place with a cotton cloth dipped in a mixed solution of ammonia, alcohol and water, and then hang it in the air to dry.
There is a knack for the maintenance and storage of leather clothes.
The weather will turn cold again on weekends, and leather products such as leather clothes have become the first choice for people to keep warm and beautify their lives. The price of high-quality leather products is far from that of ordinary products, so people will naturally take care of them. Colleague Miss Zhang found out last year's fur coat and put it on again. She was surprised to find shiny green fluff on the back of the whole leather. Miss Zhang said that it was moldy because no measures were taken at all during storage. In fact, the maintenance and storage of leather clothes requires some skills.
Pay attention to maintenance when wearing.
Wu Zhonghua, Secretary-General of Shenzhen Leather Industry Association, told reporters that cowhide, sheepskin and pigskin are all susceptible to damp, mildew and insects because their main ingredients are protein. Therefore, when wearing leather, avoid contact with oily, acidic and alkaline substances. Leather clothes are easy to accumulate a lot of dirt, mold and various germs, both on the surface and inside. It should be sent to a professional leather goods maintenance shop regularly for thorough cleaning and disinfection, where professional equipment and technology are used for cleaning, and special fungicides are added, so that all kinds of germs and molds can be completely eliminated and moldy phenomena can be fundamentally avoided. Never use irritating detergent, water solvent, turpentine or detergent if the leather coat is accidentally stained with oil. Professional leather care products must be emulsion formula, because aqueous solution will deform and age the leather, which is a taboo for leather care. Do not wipe with water or gasoline. It is best to use clean cotton cloth to absorb oil as soon as possible, and then wash it with special leather care products. Don't use shoe polish. The thickness of leather coat is only 1/3 of that of cowhide upper. Gasoline in shoe polish will penetrate into leather, resulting in dull color, loose color, sticky, and even hardening and cracking. It is best to wear leather clothes often and wipe them with a fine flannel.
Leather clothes are well preserved.
As a highly seasonal fashion, leather clothes are stored for a longer time than other clothes. Therefore, proper maintenance and storage are particularly important. Secretary-General Wu Zhonghua said that leather clothes should be dried before collection and preservation, not exposed to the sun. Just hang them in a cool and dry place for ventilation, or turn the lining out to dry. In order to keep the leather coat beautiful for a long time, a layer of milk or glycerin can be coated on the surface of the leather coat before collection, so that it can be stored for a long time without discoloration. In addition, it's best to hang up the leather coat and don't fold it. Due to the limited living room area and storage space, many people pile heavy winter clothes at the bottom of the wardrobe, and the leather clothes under heavy pressure are prone to wrinkle, mildew and deformation. Therefore, leather clothes should be hung up with hangers as far as possible when stored, so as to maintain the good shape of leather clothes and prolong the service life of leather clothes.
In addition, leather clothing should be moisture-proof, otherwise it will lose its luster and affect the fastness once it is damp and moldy. Mold is the main cause of mildew in leather clothes, and humidity is the root of mold propagation. Rain, sweat and oil pollution are the three main ways to produce moisture. If the leather coat is stained with sweat or rain, there will be a layer of enzyme or even mildew on the surface. Wipe the sweat or rain with a damp soft cloth in time, then wipe the leather surface with professional leather care products, and then hang it in the shade to dry. Don't expose it to the sun or blow dry it with a hair dryer. If it is suede leather, after wiping and drying, lightly brush it with a slightly hard brush to make it fluffy.
Finally, don't put moth balls, sanitary balls and other insect repellents in the wardrobe. Such an insect repellent will make leather clothes have a strong smell, which is difficult to eliminate. The correct way is to take off the leather and send it to a professional leather maintenance shop for comprehensive cleaning, disinfection, fatliquoring, retanning, repainting, ironing and setting. The maintained leather should be put in a special leather maintenance bag (not an ordinary suit storage bag) and hung in a dry and ventilated wardrobe.
