To optimally care for your medieval leather belt pouch, please observe the following tips: - Cleaning: Wipe away surface dirt with a soft, slightly damp cloth. If necessary, use distilled water to prevent limescale buildup, or a mild leather cleaning soap for a more thorough clean.
- Maintaining suppleness: Regularly apply a special leather care product such as a conditioning lotion, leather balm, or Elephant Leather Grease sparingly. This restores the necessary oils and moisture to the leather to prevent cracking.
- Mold protection: Store the pouch in a dry place with sufficient air circulation and a humidity level between 40 and 60 percent. Avoid storing it in plastic bags, as this promotes mold growth.
- Drying: If the leather gets wet, allow it to air dry slowly. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or intense sunlight, as these can cause the leather to become porous and brittle.
- Impregnation: A suitable impregnating spray protects the material from moisture and stains, but should be tested for material compatibility beforehand in an inconspicuous area.
