Care Instructions FAQ
How often should I condition my leather?
For regular use items, condition every 3-6 months. For items used daily, condition monthly. For items in storage, condition before storing and when you take them out.
Can I use household cleaners on leather?
No, never use household cleaners, alcohol, or harsh chemicals on leather. These can damage the leather's natural oils and cause cracking or discoloration.
What should I do if my leather gets wet?
If leather gets wet, gently pat it dry with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry naturally. Never use heat sources to speed up drying, as this can cause cracking.

For light stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap. For stubborn stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for your leather type. Always test on a hidden area first.
