1. Dust and Brush:
* Regularly: Use a soft, dry brush or a microfiber cloth to remove dust and debris. This prevents dirt from settling into the pebbled texture.
* For stubborn dirt: Use a slightly damp cloth, but avoid soaking the leather.
2. Spot Cleaning:
* Mild soap and water: For minor stains, mix a mild soap (like saddle soap or baby shampoo) with lukewarm water. Apply the solution to a soft cloth and gently rub the stain.
* Leather cleaner: You can also use a specialized leather cleaner designed for full-grain leather. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first.
3. Conditioning:
* Regularly: After cleaning, apply a leather conditioner to moisturize and protect the leather.
* Choose a conditioner suitable for full-grain leather: Avoid using products with harsh chemicals or silicone, which can damage Togo leather's natural oils.
4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals:
* No alcohol or solvents: These can damage the leather's finish and cause discoloration.
* No bleach: Bleach can permanently damage the leather's color.
5. Protect from Moisture and Heat:
* Water damage: Togo leather can be water-resistant, but prolonged exposure to moisture can cause damage.
* Heat damage: Avoid exposing Togo leather to direct sunlight or excessive heat, as this can cause cracking and drying.
6. Professional Cleaning:
* Deep cleaning: For deep cleaning or stubborn stains, consider taking the Togo leather item to a professional leather cleaner.
Remember: Always test any cleaning products on a hidden area before applying them to the entire surface.
By following these tips, you can keep your Togo leather looking its best for years to come.
