How to Wash Leather At Home? Leather is an animal fur fabric that has been tanned and is mostly used to make winter clothes. It is divided into two categories. One is leather (leather that has been dehaired). The second is fur (treated leather with hair).

How to Wash Leather: Avoid Hand Washing
After the leather jacket is put in the water, the loose fibers of the leather will bond with each other, making the leather jacket hard and deformed. In addition, some miscellaneous materials in the leather will penetrate into the surface of the leather, discoloring the leather, or forming mottling. After washing, the leather is difficult to dry, and it is easy to mold the leather. Therefore, the leather cannot be washed after it is dirty. For general dirt, wash it with leather cleaner or neutral detergent.
How to Wash Leather: Clean Thoroughly
The surface of leather clothing is often sticky with oily substances. If it cannot be cleaned, the leather clothing will easily fall off after oiling, and the film may even be peeled off.
How to Wash Leather: Avoid Exposure
After washing the leather clothing, it should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry. Do not expose it to the sun or baking, otherwise the leather clothing will harden or shrink.
Storage:
1. Since leather is composed of protein, the preservation of leather jackets must first consider moth-proof and moisture-proof. In order to prevent moths, be sure to clean them before storing and dry them thoroughly.
2. It is not necessary to put insect repellent on leather clothes that are clean and fully dried. But it is not advisable to use plastic bags for storage, especially in relatively long places. You can use a clean old single garment or cloth cover to save. In this way, the leather can absorb and release moisture normally under different environmental conditions.
3. Leather clothes must be hung when they are stored; they can not be folded or pressed under other clothes.
