many years to come.

should someone clean and condition leather?

clean and condition regularly in order to preserve leather and protect it.
Just like most proper care, take it one step at a time.

scratch the leather surface and lead to deterioration.

with a soft, non colored (dyed) towel.
Some towels leak or loose color that could rub off on the leather. Always
start by testing a hidden or side portion of the leather before you start
working on the larger front panels. Testing the leather for color
fastness is important to assure that no color loss or blotching will occur
on more visible surfaces.
HOW
DO I CLEAN MY LEATHER?
When you apply and
leather cleaner always put it to the towel or micorfiber and then gently rub
the leather surface, do not simply spray the cleaner or conditoner on the
leather surface. This will assure the leather is not saturated in
cleaner. Always start by fully wiping down one area then proceed to
the next. This process ensures that you cover all areas thoroughly. Always
start by working a 2 to 3 square feet area at a time.

SHOULD I CLEAN MY LEATHER?

colored leather interior or surface, leather manufacturers recommend
