About maintenance
We would greatly appreciate it if you could take a moment to read this.
Fish leather, being a natural material, gains character over time, just like traditional leather. However, with prolonged use, leather can accumulate slight damage. Regular maintenance ensures that you can enjoy your fish leather products comfortably for an extended period.
[What You'll Need]
- Soft cloth is recommended.
- Leather oil or cream.
[Maintenance Timing]
The recommended frequency for maintenance is approximately twice a year.
[Maintenance Steps]
-
Remove Surface Dirt Use a soft cloth to remove dust and any surface dirt. If you apply oil with surface dirt still present, it may become ingrained into the leather.
-
Test Apply a Small Amount of Oil Just as human skin can exhibit allergic reactions to certain medications, leather can react to oils differently. There's a compatibility factor between leather and oils, and mismatched oils can cause discoloration, color fading, or changes in texture. To avoid this, apply a small amount of oil to an inconspicuous area and monitor it for a day.
-
Apply Oil Across the Entire Surface If the test application in an inconspicuous area yields no issues, apply a thin layer of oil evenly across the entire surface.
-
Allow to Dry and Wipe Excess Oil Allow it to air dry in the shade for approximately 1-2 hours, then use a dry, soft cloth to wipe off any excess oil. Please be cautious, as oils may potentially stain clothing, etc.
[Storage Instructions]
During storage, keep the items in a place with good ventilation, away from direct sunlight, and with low humidity.
