sooner rather than later. Treat the spill now, and it won't set. Give it protection now, and it
won't be soaked away by an unexpected storm. This rule isn't just important for your leather.
When you take initiative now, you take control - not merely react.
Treating Leather
Armed with these tenets, you are ready to get started; everything from here on out deals with
the daily know-how of practical leather care. Let's get our hands dirty!
Routine Treatment
Leather is a porous animal, and will greedily absorb anything it can, from dust, water, snow even
to mold. Regularly keeping your leather's surface clean can prevent these contaminants from
taking root. Failing this, unfettered debris will begin to clog up pores going down, and prevent
your leather from breathing - a vital rhythm allowing for the exchange of oils and moisture. If
leather cannot breathe, oil and contaminants on the inside will slowly rot structural fibers away,
or else the lack of moisture and lubrication will dry it to ashes. This process may take a while,
mind, but it's still important to clean and condition every now and then if you want your leather
to go the distance. For routine cleaning, gently brush off any visible contaminants with a lightly
damp cloth until everything looks cleansed.
