This piece will prove to be a comprehensive guide for you by explaining how to should take care of leather products. We are going to talk about the different treatments you can opt for. Hence, without further delay, let's get started.

Polish

As mentioned earlier, leather can dry out. To avoid this, it is important to polish it frequently. We suggest you thoroughly go through the polishing product you purchase and even browse through some user reviews online. The goal is to get a product that comes with moisturizing elements.

On the other hand, the frequency of polish depends upon your taste and preference. So, to each their own!

Conditioner

Yes, you read that, right! Apart from your hair, even your leather products require a fine conditioner to appear shiny and smooth. It not only enhances the appearance but also provides a protective film so that it does not dry or get cracks. Make sure to buy a conditioner that has a water repellent component for maximum protection.

Since the conditioner comes in the form of lotion, and leather is delicate, it is recommended to rub it gently to avoid any scratches.

You can condition your leather every six to twelve months. However, people living in a dryer climate can consider conditioning their leather products every three months.

Waterproofing

Waterproofing comes in two forms, namely, sprays and waxes.

Sprays are easy to do but give a very low-quality result. Also, one spray does not do any good, and you might need to reapply it several times.

In comparison to sprays, waxes have a longer-lasting effect. Waxes, unlike sprays, provide much more precision and coverage in terms of application.

Wrapping up

When it comes to suede, make sure you do not apply any of the techniques discussed above. All it requires to wipe away the dust, dirt, and grime is a suede brush. Avoid using water when you are taking care of suede.

When using leather bags or wallets, avoid filling them fully as it can distort its shape. And we are sure you don't want that!
