Leather Care Guide
Proper care extends the life and beauty of your leather. Follow these guidelines to keep your UM-AREX product looking its best.
Understanding Your Leather
Genuine leather is a natural material that ages beautifully with proper care.
Natural Material
Slight variations in color and texture are normal and add to the character of your product.
Ages with Grace
Quality leather develops a rich patina over time — natural and desirable.
Unique Texture
No two leather pieces are identical. Each UM-AREX product is truly unique.
Built to Last
With proper care, premium leather can last decades.
Daily Care Routine
- Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each use.
- Store properly in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
- Avoid overstuffing — stretching weakens leather and stitching.
- Keep away from moisture — if wet, let it air dry naturally.
- Rotate usage between products when possible.
Cleaning & Conditioning
Dust Off
Use a soft-bristled brush or microfiber cloth to remove surface dust.
Clean Gently
Dampen a cloth with water and wipe. Use pH-neutral leather cleaner for stains.
Condition
Apply leather conditioner in circular motions. Let absorb 15-20 min, then buff.
Protect
Apply leather protector spray every few months for added protection.
Frequency
Clean monthly, condition every 2-3 months. In dry climates, condition more often.
What to Avoid
- Direct sunlight — fades color and dries out leather
- Water immersion — never submerge or machine wash
- Harsh chemicals — avoid bleach, alcohol, acetone
- Heat sources — keep away from radiators and hairdryers
- Perfume & cologne — can cause discoloration
- Plastic wrapping — leather needs to breathe
Storage Tips
Use a Dust Bag
Store in the cotton dust bag or breathable fabric pouch.
Cool & Dry
Keep in a cool, dry environment. Avoid humidity.
Maintain Shape
Stuff with tissue paper to retain shape when not in use.
Don't Stack
Avoid stacking heavy items on leather products.
