Care methods to practice during the rainy season
The rainy season is a time of continuous rain and high humidity.
Rain and humidity are the enemies of leather products.
In order to enjoy using BONAVENTURA products for a long time, we would like to introduce how to care for them and how to deal with them during the rainy season.
If it gets wet in the rain...
Try the cleaning steps below.
1. If it gets wet, immediately wipe it gently with a dry, soft cloth.
2. Adjust the shape and dry slowly in a well-ventilated shade.
(If it's a bag, etc., put an anchor in it to shape it)
When your precious leather item gets wet, you tend to get nervous.
However,hurrying and drying it all at once is counterproductive to the leather.
Rapid drying using a hairdryer or desiccant may cause the leather to shrink or harden, causing it to lose its shape and crack.
Please wait patiently for the leather to dry naturally.
・The color has smudged on wet denim ・・・
1. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
Please wipe gently to avoid damaging the leather.
2. Apply a small amount of leather-specific cleaner to a soft cloth and gently rub the area.
(Be sure to test on an inconspicuous area before use)
If the above does not come off, the pigment may have soaked in and settled, and you may not be able to remove it.
Please contact Customer Support as soon as possible to see if we can help.
*The dyed color will fade easily if it contains moisture.
Please be especially careful on rainy or humid days.
・When I tried to use it for the first time in a while, it turned out to be moldy...
1. The conditions for mold to grow are said to be a humidity of 70 to 80% or higher. If you leave it in a humid place for a long time, mold will easily grow.
The ideal storage location is a shaded area with good ventilation.
However, humidity tends to increase in closets and closets, so it is necessary to take measures to prevent high humidity by
opening the door frequently to ventilate the room, installing a dehumidifier specially designed for closets (closets), and creating an appropriate space toimprove ventilation.
2． Temperature
The temperature at which mold grows is between 20℃ and 30℃.
If the temperature in the storage area remains at this temperature for a long time, mold will continue to grow.
3． Nutrient source
Dust, dirt from hands, food scraps, leftovers from leather cream, etc. feed mold and cause it to grow.
Be sure to clean before storing.
In case mold forms
If mold has just started to form, you can remove it by wiping it with a damp cloth.
After wiping with water, wipe off the water with a dry cloth and dry the leather in a shaded area with good ventilation.
If mold is severe, please contact customer support.
