Do leather products need maintenance? Explains the care procedure and how to deal with each case
Leather products such as wallets and bags can be used for a long time and their color and luster will be more beautiful if they are properly cared for.
In addition, if they get wet or dirty, you can avoid leaving stains or marks and minimize the damage by taking appropriate measures quickly.
This article explains the general steps for caring for leather products and how to deal with different types of problems.
Why is it necessary to care for leather?
Leather is made from the tanned hide of real animals, so it needs to be moisturized and cared for just like human skin and hair.
Leaving leather without maintenance for a long period of time will not only reduce its durability and lose its texture, but it will also become more susceptible to cracking due to drying.
Once leather cracks, it is difficult to restore it to its original condition. It is important to take proper care of it so that you can continue to use it in beautiful condition for a long time.
The basic rule is to use cream for maintenance when you notice dryness.
Although it depends on the frequency of use and storage conditions, it is recommended to maintain your leather once or twice a month after you have been using it for about three months.

How to care for leather products
Here are some ways to care for leather products.
1. Remove dirt and dust with a brush
First, use a brush for leather products to remove fine dirt and dust from the surface.
Brushing removes dust and dirt and also has the effect of smoothing the leather texture. Brush gently, without rubbing too hard.
In addition, dust tends to accumulate in the seams and in the gaps between the grain, so brush them thoroughly.
If dirt is noticeable, wipe it off with a leather cleaner.
2. Apply cream
After removing dirt and dust with a brush or cleaner, next apply a small amount of cream to a maintenance cloth.
Depending on the size of the leather item, a pearl-sized amount is sufficient. For small items such as wallets and business card holders, limit the amount to about half that.
If you apply too much cream from the beginning, it may leave a stain, so it is important to check it in an inconspicuous place first.
If your hands feel sticky when you touch it, there is too much oil, so wipe it off with a dry, soft cloth.
3. Use a brush to blend the cream
Once you have applied the cream to the entire surface, brush it in and wipe off any excess cream with a dry cloth.
How to deal with leather product cases
What we have introduced so far is how to regularly care for leather products.
When using leather products, you may encounter problems such as "getting wet," "getting dirty or scratched," "discoloration or color transfer," and "mold growing."
Here, we will introduce how to deal with different leather product cases.
What to do if it gets wet
If your leather product gets wet due to rain or other reasons, it is important to deal with the problem before the water soaks in.
Wipe off any moisture with a dry cloth and let it dry naturally in a well-ventilated place.
In this case, avoid drying at high temperatures with a hair dryer or other device, as this can cause cracks and damage. Also, rubbing wet leather with too much force can cause uneven coloring and deformation.
When leather is wet, it loses oil, so after drying it thoroughly, apply cream to moisturize it.
In addition, BONAVENTURA recommends spraying your leather products with nano glass coating spray every 3 to 4 months.
A special water-repellent treatment using cutting-edge nano technology prevents the absorption of water and dirt, making it easier to prevent damage when it gets wet.

What to do if the color fades or transfers
Leather products may fade or transfer color.
If the color fades or stains become permanent, it will be difficult to repair, so please contact our customer support immediately.
What to do if mold grows
Leather products can develop mold depending on how they are stored.
The main causes of mold are storing the product in a humid place, leaving dirt on the product for a long time, and applying too much protective cream.
Once mold has grown, it is difficult to completely remove it.
If you find mold on your leather product, immediately wipe it off with a cloth that has been wrung out tightly after soaking it in water. After that, dry it in a well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight.
Once it is sufficiently dry, perform regular maintenance to finish.
