Tack Cleaning & Leather Care

Leather Balm and Leather Soap

There are various types of leather care products that can help you take care of your leather items. A common type of product is leather balm, which is used to moisturize and protect the leather. Leather balm can help prevent cracks and stiffness in the leather while giving it a glossy finish. Another type of product is leather soap, which is used to clean the leather from dirt, dust, and grease. Leather soap is available in both liquid and solid forms and is typically suitable for various types of leather, including synthetic leather. It is important to choose a leather soap that is suitable for the specific type of leather you want to clean, as some products can damage or discolor the leather.

Colored Shoe Cream and Leather Polish

A third type of leather care product is colored shoe cream and leather polish. Colored products are used to restore the color of the leather after it has faded or been damaged. These come in different colors and shades, so you can choose the one that best matches the leather you want to enhance. It is important to choose a leather color that is suitable for the specific type of leather you want to paint, as some products can damage the leather or not hold the color properly. To properly care for leather, it is important to follow the recommendations on the packaging for the various leather care products. It is also good to follow some general advice when it comes to leather care.

General Advice

Firstly, it is important to keep the leather dry. Leather tends to mold if it gets wet, so make sure to wipe the leather thoroughly if it gets wet. It may also be beneficial to use a leather conditioner to protect the leather from water and moisture.

Secondly, it is important to clean the leather regularly. Dirt, dust, and grease can damage the leather in the long run, so be sure to clean the leather with suitable leather soap regularly. Make sure to wipe the leather thoroughly after cleaning to avoid it getting wet.

Thirdly, it is important to moisturize the leather. Leather tends to become dry and brittle if it doesn't receive enough moisture. Use a leather balm to moisturize the leather and prevent cracks and stiffness. Again, be sure to wipe the leather thoroughly after using the balm to avoid it getting wet.

Finally, it is important to protect the leather from the sun and heat. Prolonged exposure to sunlight and heat can damage the leather, so make sure to store leather items in a cool and protected place when not in use. For example, the tack room is a perfect place for this.
