Avoid Machine Cleaning: Machine cleaning can be too harsh on real leather and may cause damage. Stick to manual cleaning methods.

No Soaking in Water: Leather is sensitive to water and can get damaged if soaked. Instead, use a damp, soapy sponge for cleaning.

Check Care Label: Always check the care label or instructions that come with the leather item. Different types of leather may have specific cleaning requirements.

Remove Dirt and Debris: Start by washing off dirt, dust, and debris using a mixture of soapy water. Use soft, clean sponges for this purpose.

Extra Care for Collars and Cuffs: Pay special attention to collars and cuffs, as these areas may accumulate more dirt. Be gentle when cleaning these parts.

Circular Motion: When cleaning, use a circular motion to rub gently. This helps avoid causing damage to the leather surface.

Avoid Long Soaking: Do not let the leather soak for long periods to prevent damage. Once the dirt is removed, promptly remove any water with a clean, dry cloth.

Buffing for Dull Leather: If the leather appears dull, you can use a soft cloth to buff it. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or upholstery wax to restore shine.

Remember that different types of leather may have specific cleaning and care requirements. Always follow any specific instructions provided by the manufacturer or refer to the care label. Additionally, it’s a good practice to test any cleaning or conditioning product on a small, inconspicuous area of the leather first to ensure compatibility and avoid any potential damage.
