Many men wash their clothes and trousers regularly, but there are probably many men who do not care for their trouser belts. Men who wear suits tend to take good care of their small items, but they tend not to worry about dirty trouser belts.

However, if you don't take care of your trouser belt regularly, the color will fade and stain it, making it look dirty. Also, even if you want to do maintenance, some people are not used to doing it, so they continue to use shoe cream on their trouser belts and cause the color to fade.

This time, we will introduce how often and how to care for the belt (men's version), and whether shoe cream is bad because it will fade.

I will introduce how to care for the belt (men's version) and how the shoe polish will fade. Complementary color cream for shoes is basically sold exclusively for shoes, so it is not suitable for cleaning trouser belts.

It's fine to use just a little amount on the trouser belt, but if you use too much, it will cause the color to fade. And the same is true for shoe creams that maintain shoes.

Originally, it is a shoe care cream, so it is not very suitable for cleaning trouser belts. Therefore, if possible, it is better not to use shoe cream in the maintenance method of the belt (men's version).

However, by using a leather concealer and complementary color cream for shoes, especially in the case of leather trouser belts, the leather will be preserved with complementary color + oil content, so it may look beautiful.

If you apply shoe cream to your trouser belt, it may get wet in sweat or rain later, or the color may transfer due to friction with other objects, so it is better not to use it on your trouser belt as much as possible.

We will introduce how to easily care for the belt (men's version). In order to prolong the life of the trouser belt as much as possible, it is important to have 2 or 3 trouser belts instead of using only one at a time, and use them alternately.

If you continue to use only one trouser belt, it will crack and get dirty more often, shortening its life. And I don't think there are many men who have the habit of cleaning their trouser belts, but if possible, try to maintain them once every few months.

There are three specific points for easy care of the belt (men's version).

[Easy care method for trouser belt]

o Remove dirt

Lightly brush off dust and dirt on the surface of the trouser belt with a soft cloth or brush. If brushing is neglected, dust and other moisture will be absorbed, causing mold to grow on the trouser belt and damage to the product.

This doesn't apply to all types of trouser belts, but especially leather ones, use a soft cloth to gently rub the leather cream into it to keep it moist. By doing so, it has the effect of preventing the belt from cracking.

Be careful not to apply too much leather cream as it will cause stains.

Wipe the trouser belt with a dry cloth or towel to remove dirt and debris. Even if you apply cream to moisturize, be sure to wipe dry carefully so that the cream does not remain on the trouser belt.

In addition, if the belt is made of leather, it is recommended to use a waterproof spray to prevent water and dirt from adhering to the belt.

We will show you how to care for your belt (men's version) if its color has faded. I think that there are people who regularly maintain their trouser belts, or who use shoe polish and lose their color.

If you apply too much shoe cream to your trouser belt, it may cause discoloration, so we do not recommend using it directly. Even if you keep 2 or 3 trouser belts in stock, it won't take up too much storage space, so we recommend disposing of the discolored ones and using another belt.

The best way is to use another belt, but if you have a black leather belt, you can restore the color fading to some extent by using shoe cream + M. Mowbray Rich Delicate Cream.

・Mix with M. Mowbray Rich Delicate Cream

・Spread the entire trouser belt with a cloth with cream

・Use a horsehair brush to rub the leather into the leather.

・Finally polish with a soft cloth

・Finally polish with a soft cloth

We will introduce how to care for the belt (men's version) and whether it can be washed with water. Among trouser belts, genuine leather belts in particular are not made with the assumption that they will be washed, so we do not recommend washing them with water.

Other belts can be washed with water without any problem. However, the buckle and metal parts are also washed with water, and if the drying method is insufficient, the trouser belt may rust.

Therefore, if the belt has removable buckles or metal parts, we recommend that you remove them and wash them with water. If you don't want to wash your trouser belt by hand, you can wash it in the washing machine as long as it doesn't have buckles or metal parts.

However, if you do regular maintenance such as removing dirt, wiping, and moisturizing, you don't need to bother washing with water. When washing with water, if you fail to dry it properly, there is a risk that it will rust or grow mold, making the trouser belt even dirtier than before.

Introducing the maintenance frequency of the belt (men's version).

The useful life of a trouser belt depends on how often it is used, but it is said that if it is used every day without any maintenance, it can be kept in good condition for about 6 months. So, if you take care of it several times while using it for 6 months, you can continue to use it without significantly shortening its life, so you can rest assured.

If you continue to use the belt for a long period of time, cracks, dirt, and surface materials often become dry. In order to avoid this situation as much as possible, pay attention to the maintenance frequency of the belt (men's version), stock up on 2 or 3 spare trouser belts, and use them alternately. recommend.

Also, as a guideline for replacing the belt, I think it is good to replace the belt with a new one when you replace the shoes.

As for the maintenance method of the belt (men's version), basically it is better not to use shoe cream. Using the wrong amount of cream will cause the trouser belt to fade.

If possible, we recommend that you keep 2 or 3 belts in stock and continue to use them alternately with other belts while maintaining them several times over the course of 6 months.
