Why Leather Care Matters
Leather is one of the most durable, luxurious materials in the world. But without proper care, even the highest quality leather can lose its luster. At BOHO Leather, we believe your leather piece should look and feel as amazing in ten years as it did the day you bought it—and that’s where proper care comes in.
Step 1: Cleaning Your Leather
Dirt, dust, and everyday grime can slowly damage leather fibers if left unchecked.
How to clean:
- Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dust after every use.
- For deeper cleaning, use a damp (not wet) cloth—never soak leather.
- Avoid harsh detergents or alcohol-based cleaners; they strip natural oils.
- For stains, use a leather-safe cleaner and follow instructions carefully.
Pro Tip: Test any cleaner on a small hidden area first.
Step 2: Conditioning for Longevity
Leather is like skin—it needs moisture to stay soft and flexible. Without conditioning, it can dry out, crack, or lose its color richness.
How to condition:
- Apply a leather conditioner every 3–6 months, depending on climate and usage.
- Use a small amount and work it in with a clean, soft cloth.
- Let the conditioner absorb naturally—never use heat to speed up the process.
Why it matters: Conditioning not only maintains softness but also enhances leather’s natural patina over time.
Step 3: Proper Storage
Improper storage can warp, fade, or damage leather.
How to store:
- Keep leather in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Use breathable dust bags or covers—never plastic, as it traps moisture.
- For jackets, use wide, padded hangers to maintain shape.
- For bags and wallets, stuff them lightly with acid-free paper to retain form.
Bonus Care Tips
- Rotate usage: Don’t wear or use the same piece daily; give it rest days.
- Avoid water exposure: If leather gets wet, blot gently and let it air dry naturally.
- Handle with clean hands: Oils and dirt from skin can stain leather over time.
