Artificial or synthetic leather is a type of fabric that is used as a substitute for real leather. It is used in clothing, shoes, belts, handbags and upholstery items. It gives the look and feel of real leather and is quite durable and cost-effective.
This type of leather is smooth and shiny. Its durability depends on the quality you have chosen. Items made from cheap synthetic leather dry out and crack easily while high quality synthetic leather items are sturdier.
Very few items made from this type of leather are machine washable. It is recommended to read the care instruction label on the handbag, belt, clothes or upholstery to know the best way of cleaning and maintaining them to retain the shine.
Here are few tips to care for products made from Artificial Leather:
- If there is dirt on the product, you can use a soft suede brush and wipe off the dirt particles before wiping it with a dry cloth.
- The next step is to dilute 1 teaspoon of mild leather shampoo in two cups of water and immerse the product in the soapy liquid. After sometime, squeeze out the product so that it is thoroughly damp. Use a soft cloth or sponge to blot and wipe the excess water or stains on the item.
- Once done, let the product air dry completely but don’t put it directly under the sun or else the leather will get damaged.
- To prevent the item from cracking or drying, you can apply a protective layer of leather conditioner or gel on it.
Whether you are buying artificial leather products or bus, school or Sports Vinyl Flooring, make sure you are choosing a reliable manufacturing company. Only a reputed company will offer you quality products.
