If the leather product has been used only once, it will not show as much dirt.
As you continue to use it for many years, it often becomes dark due to dirt from your hands and sweat.
As the dirt accumulates over time, it becomes more noticeable.
If you continue to use genuine leather products that are dirty, the cleanliness will be lost, and the beauty of the leather items will be halved, and the appeal of the users will be lost.
Dirt can be removed with proper care.
Leather products are often expensive and high-brand products, so some people may be worried that they will fall apart if they do the maintenance themselves if they do not hire a cleaning company if they get dirty.
As long as you have the necessary tools, you can easily perform maintenance on your own.
You can prevent your hands from getting rough by wearing disposable gloves when cleaning, and you can also prevent sebum and oil from adhering to the leather during maintenance.
Small amounts of leather care tools are not harmful to the human body, but be careful not to apply a large amount of stain remover or cream to your skin.
It is also important to apply it directly to the skin and not to apply it to leather products.
Be sure to use a cloth to apply the dirt remover cleaner or cream.

In order to use leather products for a long time, regular maintenance is essential.
Along with that, it is necessary to prepare a special tool for removing dirt.
Genuine leather, which is vulnerable to water, should never be washed with water and wiped dry.
If you do such maintenance, you will shorten the life of the leather product by yourself.
In order to use it as long as possible, it is necessary to prepare the following tools for removing stains from leather.
If the dirt has accumulated in a short period of time, it can be removed by simply wiping it with a dry cloth.
However, stains on leather products become noticeable due to long-term adhesion of dirt and sweat from hands.
By the time the dirt becomes noticeable, it is almost always attached as a stubborn blackhead.
Dirt that cannot be removed with simple maintenance can be removed by using a "dirt remover cleaner".
It is important to protect the genuine leather by applying cream after using the stain remover, as the oil from the leather may come off along with the dirt.
You can prevent darkening by applying "cream" to the leather product while it is still not very noticeable and creating an oil film.
Be careful how much cream you apply to the leather, as too much cream can leave white stains.
If you already have stubborn dark spots on the leather product, use a stain remover instead of applying the cream straight away, or use it after wiping it off.
When applying the cream, instead of applying it directly to your hands, you can prevent dirt and sweat from sticking to the genuine leather by applying an appropriate amount to a cloth and maintaining the genuine leather.
When the dirt on the leather product is not yet noticeable, you can prevent darkening by simply wiping it with a dry cloth once a month.
Wiping off dust and dirt on genuine leather products with a cloth is the basics of maintenance.
If the leather product becomes dark, it will be difficult to remove the dirt, so wipe it with a cloth frequently.
An "eraser" that you have at home can be used as a tool to remove stains from leather products.
Some people may be concerned that rubbing the leather surface with an eraser may cause the leather to come off.
It is true that strong rubbing damages the leather material, so adjusting the amount of force is important.
The eraser you use can remove dirt by gently rubbing it in a clean state.

Practicing how to remove stains from leather products every 2 to 3 months will make it easier to keep them clean for a long time.
However, the degree of dirt varies from person to person, so if it gets dark quickly during use, do maintenance as soon as possible, or wipe the cloth once a month. .
I will tell you how to remove the stains on the leather introduced above.
If you have an eraser, gently and carefully rub the surface of the genuine leather to remove dirt.
Next, take an appropriate amount of dirt remover cleaner on a cloth and apply it to the leather product to remove fine dirt.
After applying the cleaner, wipe off the cleaner with an unused cloth before it becomes a stain.
Then, take an appropriate amount of the cream on another new cloth and apply it evenly over the entire leather product.
After that, instead of wiping it off, you can leave it to dry as it is to bring out the luster and texture.
If you don't have stubborn blackheads, you don't need to force yourself to use a dirt remover.
It is also possible to cleanly remove dust and dirt just by removing dirt with an eraser, so please use it case by case.

Once stubborn dark stains are attached to leather products, it is difficult to remove the stains.
Regular maintenance will help extend the life of your leather.
As time passes, it becomes more difficult to remove stains, so instead of using cleaners, once a month, for example, rub the genuine leather product with an eraser and wipe it off with a cloth.
For leather materials that are vulnerable to water, spraying a waterproof spray will make the leather stronger and more resistant to moisture and stains.
After spraying the waterproof spray, do not wipe it dry with a cloth.
It is important to store it in a dark place and dry it immediately.
In this way, you can easily practice the care of leather products by yourself by preparing the tools necessary for maintenance.
The longer you continue to use it, the more you can enjoy the aging effect, and the more attractive it will be to the users who use it, so let's use it carefully.
If you let it last for a long time, you will be able to notice the charm of genuine leather that is different from when you bought it.
