Retaining the look and feel: Tips on how to care for your synthetic leather <\/span><\/p>

To some, caring for leather goods can be a little daunting. And we know just how incredibly durable leather is when given a little attention and care. In a nutshell, proper care for your leather items boils down to two main concepts: keeping them clean and making sure they are kept dry.<\/span><\/p>

NOTE:<\/span>
# Faux leather \u2019s a non-porous surface; therefore, most stains will sit on the top.<\/span><\/p>

# Don\u2019t let it get too dry. The material can crack if it is left over dry, or exposed to hot, humid temperatures.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Synthetic or faux leather can even be longer-lasting compared to real leather. <\/span>Unlike real leather, synthetic leather doesn’t form a patina<\/a> (lustre) over time. As a result, the faux leather surface will start drying up \u2014 end up, cracking and peeling after a few months of purchase. (We would also need to take into account the quality of synthetic leather used for the finished goods.) In addition, synthetic leather is sensitive to staining; hence, requires regular cleaning to keep it squeaky clean.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>
