Care For Leather

Before using your leather item, we recommend that you use a leather protector to preserve it, but this is not a necessary step. These items can be purchased on Amazon, at a drug store, or at a cobbler location.

If general wear and tear has affected the products’ appearance, we suggest visiting a leather care professional for refurbishment. Studio Findings is not responsible for damage caused by normal wear and tear, such as scratching or staining on light-colored leather.

Please test any products you are applying to the leather in an inconspicuous spot first to make sure you are okay with the final result before applying it to the whole piece.

As wonderful and durable as leather is, it still requires adequate care in order for it to sustain years of good use. In order to keep your leather items looking fresh, clean the leather regularly. Leather is a natural material and can be delicate. Vegetable-tanned leathers will naturally patina with time and use. The best method is regular cleaning followed by thorough conditioning.

How to clean

• To lift dirt from surface, buildup and other surface contaminants, gently wipe with a soft, dry lint-free cloth.
• We recommend cleaning leather with products made specifically for leather.
• Clean stains the sooner the better, quickly cleaning the stains will always get you best results. Leather is absorbent, letting a stain linger increases the odds that it will be difficult to remove.
• Clean the leather thoroughly but don’t scrub, be gentle. Scrubbing can remove the dye in the leather or damage the leather finish.
• After cleaning leather, let it dry fully before conditioning. Condition after every few cleanings to protect your leather. This will help preserve the leather and help prevent future stains.

Scratching and damage can occur while using any leather product, so please be sure to use your items with care.
