3 amazing ways to properly care of leather laptop bags

A leather laptop bag is not just a style item, it is a luxurious item too. A quality leather bag is the product of centuries, so treat it right. You don't have to ruin your day by taking care of the bag. All you need to do is follow these 3 steps on how to clean, condition, and store leather bags. Here are a few tips you can check out. 

 

 

How to clean your leather bag 

 

Be sure, you are cleaning your leather bag with clean hands. Leather bags are susceptible to absorbing grease and oil. Do a quick cleaning every other day, briskly sweeping your leather laptop bag with soft, dry, or slightly damp clothes. Don't use water on leather, as leathers take time to dry.  

Once or twice a year, do a more thorough cleaning to remove dirt buildup. Wipe down your leather bag with a cleaner made specifically for leather. Apply in a circular motion and wipe off with a slightly damp cloth to avoid clogging the pores of the leather. 

 

How to condition your leather bag 

 

Leather bags need proper condition. Leather conditioner is like a moisturizer for your leather bag. Without it, the leather will dry out over time.

 

To prevent flaking and wrinkling, apply a leather conditioner to a soft cloth and gently rub over the entire bag.

Depending on the dryness or humidity in your climate, apply conditioner at least twice a year, up to once a month or so, to keep your leather bag soft and supple. 

 

Storing your leather bag 

 

Stuff your leather laptop bag with bubble wrap or parchment paper, but not newspaper, as it will smear to restore and hold its shape. Place your stuffed leather bag in its original dust bag, and then store it in its original box, along with silica gel packs to avoid dampness. Air your leather bag once every two weeks to prevent mold growth. 

 

Leather laptop bags need proper care, as long as your cleaner and conditioner are formulated for real leather, you are all set. You don’t need to babysit your leather bags, but be aware that heavy exposure to elements will age the leather dramatically. Adjust your leather care and cleaning habits accordingly.
