1. Storing Bags
Do not store your leather purse in plastic covers. Plastic encourages growth and mildew because of its non absorbing property. Thus use dust bags or pillow cases in storing your leather bags.
2. Cleaning
Never use alcohol or any strong household cleaner when cleaning your leather. They can cause dryness and discoloration. Instead use damp cloth when you are cleaning stains. Some uses petroleum jelly while rubbing it with soft cloth.
3. Maintenance
Apply leather conditioner twice or thrice a year. You may use any leather conditioner in the market. Apply liberal amount into your bag, especially before you store your bag in your closet.
4. No waxes
Avoid using waxes in cleaning soft leather. They will clog the leather pores making it hard to apply the leather conditioner.
