Leather is known for its durability, elegance, and classic charm. However, maintaining its quality requires proper leather care.

At Kulitluka, we prioritize the longevity of leather goods and offer expert advice to help you maintain them for years to come. In this detailed guide, we share key insights and techniques for preserving your leather products.

The Basics of Leather

To care for leather effectively, it’s essential to understand its origins. Leather is crafted from animal hides, a by-product of the meat industry, ensuring no animals are harmed solely for leather production.

Types of Leather

• Full-Grain Leather: Premium quality with natural imperfections, offering durability and authenticity.
• Corrected Grain Leather: Sanded to remove flaws, slightly less natural but still durable and cost-effective.
• Split Leather: From the fibrous layer, offering affordability and used in budget-friendly goods.

Types of Finishes

• Aniline: Uncoated for a natural, soft texture; ideal for luxury furniture and accessories.
• Semi-Aniline: Lightly coated for stain resistance with a natural appearance.
• Pigmented: Coated for durability and uniform color, commonly used in high-traffic applications.
• Embossed: Stamped for decorative patterns, blending style with resilience.

Daily Leather Care

• Clean and Dry: Regularly dust with a soft cloth and blot moisture promptly to avoid damage.
• Avoid Heat and Sunlight: Prevent fading and cracking by storing leather in cool, shaded areas.

Deep Cleaning Leather Care Steps

1. Test cleaners on a small, hidden area.
2. Use leather-specific cleaning products.
3. Wipe off residues with a damp cloth.
4. Air-dry naturally, away from heat or sunlight.
5. Recondition to retain suppleness.

Long-Term Leather Care Maintenance

• Clean regularly with suitable products.
• Condition every 6-12 months to avoid drying and cracking.
• Store in breathable covers, avoiding plastic to prevent mold.
• Use your leather items frequently to maintain their flexibility.
