Care Guide for PU Leather Products

Guangzhou Elyn Leather Co., Ltd.

1. Goal

Proper care for our PU leather products—such as women's bags, shoes, and cosmetic cases—extends their lifespan and keeps them looking great. This ensures customer satisfaction and maintains the high reputation of our brand.

2. Step-by-Step Guide

Daily Cleaning: Use a clean, soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the surface to remove dust and daily dirt. For stubborn stains, add a drop of neutral cleaner to the cloth, wipe gently, and then use a clean wet cloth to remove any soap residue.

Avoid Sharp Objects: Be careful not to let the product touch sharp items like keys or knives. When storing, keep them separate from sharp objects.

Storage Environment: Store in a dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight. For long-term storage, fill the item with soft paper or foam to maintain its shape, and wrap it in a dust bag or clean cloth.

Prevent Over-Squeezing: Do not overstuff bags with heavy items. When stacking items for storage, avoid placing heavy objects on top to prevent deformation.

Regular Maintenance: Periodically use a specialized PU leather conditioner. Apply a small amount to a soft cloth, wipe the surface evenly, and then dry with a clean cloth.

3. Key Points for Each Step

Daily Cleaning:

Ensure the cloth is soft to avoid scratches.

Use very little cleaner to avoid residue.

Be gentle around decorations or textures.

Example: When cleaning near a handbag zipper, be careful not to get cleaner inside the zipper, as it may affect smoothness.

Avoid Sharp Objects: Sharp items easily scratch or tear PU leather, which is hard to fix.

Example: Keys stored loosely in a bag can accidentally scratch the lining or exterior.

Storage Environment:

Humidity causes mold; sunlight causes fading and aging.

Do not overstuff with paper when storing, or you might stretch the material.

Example: In humid regions, ensure the storage area is dry. For shaped shoes, use filler to keep the original form.

Prevent Over-Squeezing: Excessive pressure causes permanent creases and deformation.

Example: Overstuffing a cosmetic bag can cause the body of the bag to lose its shape.

Regular Maintenance: Choose a high-quality conditioner; poor quality ones may damage the material. Apply evenly for full coverage.

4. Common Issues & Precautions

Common Issues:

Issue: Surface discoloration or hardening due to wrong cleaners.

Solution: Rinse immediately with plenty of water and apply specialized conditioner to help recover it.

Issue: Cracking after long-term storage.

Solution: Clean and condition before storing. Maintain proper humidity in the storage room (a humidifier can help).

Precautions:

Store different colored items separately to prevent color transfer (staining).

Avoid using or storing in high-temperature environments, as heat accelerates aging.
