革の天敵「水」対策

Measures against the natural enemy "water" of leather

Leather products have a supple image.

This is because water and oil are well-balanced, and even if either is lacking,

This can cause the leather to harden and crack .

Have you ever had the experience of drying your leather in a hurry when it got wet in the rain, causing the quality of the leather to deteriorate?

In the unlikely event that leather products get wet, the most unavoidable thing is to"dry quickly" . Using a hair dryer, leaving it in front of a stove, putting it under an air conditioner...all these are NG actions.

This is because the oil in the leather is lost when it gets wet, and the leather weakens when heated.

So what is the correct way to deal with getting wet?

It is best to wipe dry with a dry towel . However, what is more important than that is “pre-care” . Leather products can be covered with cream soon after purchase to create a thin"protective film". With this, the protective film protects even if it gets a little wet.

Furthermore, if you spray a waterproof spray after applying the cream, a coating will be applied and the antifouling effect will be enhanced.

Even if it doesn't get wet, you can use leather products for a long time if you take care of them beforehand.
