As a death expert who straddles the two deep pits of handmade leather goods and manuals (applause is needed here), I decided to write a few posts to share with you those things about leather goods manuals.
The first lesson is the daily care of leather handbook.
As we all know, what we usually say about leather refers to animal skin that has been treated by physical and chemical means. Common animal skins are: cattle, horses, sheep (subdivided into sheep and goats) and pigs; Rare, crocodile skin, lizard skin, ostrich skin, pearl fish skin, springbok skin and so on. According to different treatment methods, vegetable tanning and chrome tanning are common. The most commonly used leather in the manual is vegetable tanned cowhide, such as ff and TN. Many styles of ff use embossed plants to tan cowhide, Chameleon is lizard embossed, osterley is crocodile embossed. TN is dyed vegetable tanned leather, and many imitations of TN on Taobao are made of crazy horse skin (although it is called crazy horse skin, it is actually cowhide, which is a veritable representative! )。
Because most mobile phone skins are tanned cowhide, we focus on the daily care of tanned cowhide.
First of all, we need to know why we need daily care. Leather manuals usually have the advantages of good feel and high quality, but at the same time they are often expensive (so we can hear the sound of blood dripping when something goes wrong), and because they are animal dermis, there may be mildew, skin explosion and so on. A well-cared leather notebook can often accompany us for decades, and it will record our growth together with the words we write down every day (isn't it wonderful! Yes! )。
Ok, now get down to business, talk about maintenance:
First, daily dust. Books that have not been used for too long may be dusty. It is recommended to gently brush off the dust with a soft brush. Remember, it must be a brush, not a wipe, not a hand wipe! Because leather itself has pores, if you rub it directly with your hands, it may bring dust and grease from your hands into the pores, and then it will be even more unclean.
Second, keep the luster of leather. Leather notebooks often feel comfortable (forgive my small vocabulary, but they feel smooth and cool anyway), and at the same time, under the light, you can often see the natural reflection of leather, which is caused by the rich oil in leather itself. The oil content of a skin itself is also an important criterion to measure the quality of a skin. In order to maintain this great feeling and prevent the skin from bursting due to too little oil, we need to protect the leather by oiling. Most leather clothes and purses are also recommended by sales staff to be oiled regularly. There are many options for oil. Most of my friends and I use mink oil because of its excellent absorption speed and protective properties. Refueling is usually enough once a week. I am lazy, usually once a month. Don't use too much at a time, just apply it evenly.
Third, get wet by water. If only a small amount of water, such as water droplets, is spilled, it can be ignored and let it go. But if, unfortunately, the whole glass of water is spilled on it, then you need to immediately, immediately, instantly suck up the water and then put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry in the shade. Remember, don't dry it in the sun! Otherwise you will receive a hard ♂ hard manual. If it is more unfortunate that you spill a glass of juice, the first step is still to find something to absorb the water, then wipe it slowly with a semi-dry cotton cloth, and then quietly put it in a cool and ventilated place to dry in the shade. The most unfortunate thing is that your wet book is tanned with primary colors, so things are more complicated. Let's talk about it slowly next time when we talk about primary color vegetable tanning.
I think so much for the time being, because both of them are freshmen, so it is inevitable that something will happen. You're welcome to point out what's wrong. "
