PRODUCT CARE - LEATHER
Leather is a natural product and needs some care to maintain. All leather items can be washed in a warm. A mild liquid soap can also be used in this process. All items should then be dried with a towel and left to air dry. Do not dry leather in the sun or on an artificial heat source as it will dry out and become brittle.
Items such as collars and harnesses should not be submerged in water but should be wiped only with a wet cloth and mild soap solution.
Stronger stains such as urine, blood or oils should be cleaned immediately. Larger items can be washed in a solution of warm water and a mild soap solution such as baby soap/shampoo. All items are best dried with an absorbent towel. Any hardware has to be dried well to avoid rusting or tarnishing. It is important to note that whip tassels become stiffer after washing and sparse conditioning can be used for softening. Too much conditioner however, can make the leather heavier and increase the whipping effect.
All leather (other than black) should be wiped with a wet cloth.
Fleeces can also be cleaned in a soap solution.
All leather products should be nourished with a leather conditioner from time to time. The interval will depend how often the product is used and washed. Conditioning should be done every 3-4 weeks for heavy use, every 2-3 months for medium use and 4-6 months for light use.
Suede can be treated with water and a stain protector available from a shoe store.
All hardware (studs, rivets, chains and other metal parts) exposed to the environments has to be cleaned and polished from time to time to protect from tarnishing and oxidation. They can be cleaned using a domestic metal cleaner. Please note, that if metal polish comes into contact with leather it can dull the surface. To avoid this polish must be removed immediately from the leather and the contact area polished.
If press studs become hard to operate they can be lubricated with a general-purpose oil or sewing machine oil.
All leather products should be stored in a dry ventilated place.
