To keep the dark brown leather horn holder supple, it should be treated regularly with leather grease, leather balm, or special care mixtures (such as wax-oil blends). Before greasing, the leather must be thoroughly cleaned of dirt and dust. The leather grease should be applied sparingly and evenly with a soft cloth or sponge using circular motions. After a few hours of absorption, the leather can be buffed with a clean wool cloth. It is important not to apply the grease too thickly to avoid staining and clogging the pores.
