While you don’t need to handle it like glass it’s always a good idea to know how to properly care for it. The best way to keep your customised leather product in great condition is to treat it right. Avoid placing your products in an airtight container, keep them out of direct sunlight and away from heat. If you plan on storing your items for long periods of time we recommend wrapping them in a soft cloth such as The Personal Print dust bags.
Waterproofing products are affordable and essential for those living in a wet climate.ĭespite the fact that leather is durable it’s always good to know how to properly store your products whenever you’re not using them. For this reason there are a multitude of waterproofing waxes and sprays available as a preventative measure. Leather absorbs moisture which often prompts the leather to lose its natural oils causing the leather to lose its elasticity. Do not place your genuine leather phone case on any wet surfaces, moisture ages leather at a much faster rate. Leather conditioner is advised however beeswax or mink oil can sometimes produce better results.Īll leather products should be kept away from liquids. Conditioning your genuine leather phone case every three to four months is essential to compel your genuine leather phone case to last as long as possible. If maintained incorrectly, leather can dry out over time which can result in shrinkage or, in extreme circumstances, cracking. Do not apply heat and keep it out of direct sunlight. Allow your leather phone case to air dry naturally or dab it softly with a dry microfiber cloth. This will ensure you’re not stretching the leather. Make sure to apply the mixture onto a microfiber cloth and not directly on the case and gently clean the case in circular motions. Ensure that the soap is watered down to minimise any damage mixing one part soap and eight parts water in a spray bottle.
We recommend that you use a very mild soap or clothes detergent. Soaps should be avoided as they can leave harmful residue, however they may be used in moderation if something stronger than water is necessary to remove any stains. Every few weeks, or whenever you notice stains appear you should give your phone case a wipe down with a barely-damp, clean cloth. Regularly handled leather will build up dirt, dust, grease and grime over time, luckily cleaning your phone case is a quick and easy process.
However, some simple upkeep of your leather case will keep it looking brand new. Damage to the texture and colour of the leather can also be caused with frequent exposure to hand lotions and sanitizers. Often we are unaware of the dirt and humidity transferring to our phone cases from our hands, the pockets of our trousers, jackets or bags as well as the random collection of hard surfaces we place our phones on. We are constantly using our phones inevitably causing harm to the edges and corners when accidentally dropping it. Whilst leather is an extremely durable and resistant material it is also susceptible to intense wear and tear and will age faster than any other small leather goods. At The Personal Print we strive to provide our patrons with the best quality leather goods available and if you’re the proud owner of a genuine leather products, we want to help you make it last as long as possible.
