How to Clean a Leather Jacket? Care Guide
A genuine leather jacket is one of the most special pieces in any wardrobe. However, proper cleaning and care are crucial for long-lasting use. Here's a step-by-step leather jacket care guide:
1. General Cleaning
Regularly wipe your jacket with a slightly damp, soft cloth or Vaseline. Never wash it!
This will prevent dust and dirt from settling into the leather.
2. Leather Cleaners
Use cleaning sprays or lotions specifically designed for genuine leather (We recommend Vaseline).
Absolutely avoid harsh chemicals like alcohol-based or bleach.
3. Stain Treatment
If a water stain appears, wipe it immediately with a dry cloth; if you forget to do so, if you observe roughness and white areas on the leather, a simple treatment with Vaseline is sufficient.
If external stains occur during use or storage, we recommend contacting the manufacturer before proceeding.
4. Moisture and Drying
Do not dry a leather jacket with a heater, stove, or hair dryer when it gets wet. Let it air dry at room temperature.
5. Storage Tips
Do not squeeze into tight spaces; store on wide-shouldered hangers.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Storing in a breathable case is ideal.
6. Professional Care
Taking a professional leather jacket for care once a year will extend the life of the jacket.
Genuine leather jackets can last for decades with proper care. Every piece we produce at Alin Leather offers both quality and longevity. With the right care methods, you too can keep your leather jacket looking like new.
