1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe your leather goods with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. For more stubborn stains, use a mild leather cleaner following the product instructions.
2. Conditioning: Keep your leather goods supple and hydrated by applying a leather conditioner or cream. This helps prevent the leather from drying out and maintains its natural luster. Apply the conditioner with a soft cloth in circular motions.
3. Avoid Water Exposure: Leather and water don’t mix well. If your goods get wet, pat them dry with a clean cloth and allow them to air-dry naturally. Avoid using heat sources like hairdryers, as they can damage the leather.
4. Storage: When not in use, store your leather goods in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Use dust bags or pillowcases to protect them from dust and scratches.
5. Protect from Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade and damage leather. Avoid leaving your Oeil Violette leather items in the sun for extended periods.
6. Handle with Clean Hands: Touch your leather goods with clean hands to prevent the transfer of oils and dirt. If your hands are dirty, wash and dry them before handling the leather.
7. Dealing with Scratches: Minor scratches can be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, consider seeking professional leather repair services to ensure proper restoration.
8. Testing New Products: Before using any new cleaning or conditioning products, test them on a small, inconspicuous area of your leather goods to ensure compatibility and prevent any unwanted reactions.
By following these care guidelines, you can preserve the quality and appearance of your OEIL VIOLETTE or any other genuine leather goods for years to come.
