Leather Armor Maintenance Guide
Maintenance:
Natural leather products are highly durable, but they require regular care with leather maintenance products to remain flexible and extend their lifespan. Ensure your leather items are kept dry during storage. If the leather becomes wet, allow it to dry naturally before applying any treatments. For leather that frequently gets wet and dry, increase the frequency of maintenance to prevent damage.
Cleaning:
Remove Dirt: Use a hard brush to remove any dirt or debris from the leather surface.
Apply Leather Soap: With a clean, damp cloth, gently rub leather soap onto the leather until it appears clean.
Remove Soap Residue: Use a separate damp cloth to wipe away any soap residue.
Dry the Leather: Finally, use a dry cloth to wipe away any remaining water from the leather.
Conditioning:
Condition After Cleaning: Always condition the leather after cleaning, as soap can strip away some of the leather's natural oils.
Apply Oil or Polish: Use a clean cloth to apply a small amount of mink oil, olive oil, or beeswax polish. Gently rub the oil or polish into the leather in circular motions.
Soak and Wipe: Allow the leather to soak in the oil. Once absorbed, use a final clean cloth to wipe away any excess residue.
By following these maintenance, cleaning, and conditioning steps, you can ensure your leather armor remains in excellent condition, providing both protection and style for years to come.
