Mivael Leather Care Tips

Daily Care

• Wipe gently with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth to remove dust and light residue.
• Keep away from direct sunlight, heat sources (heaters, hair dryers, cars) to prevent drying, fading, or cracking.
• Avoid contact with perfume, makeup, oil, ink, and alcohol—these can cause permanent stains.
• Do not overfill; keep shape intact and avoid straining zippers or seams.
• Empty and air out occasionally to keep interiors fresh.

Cleaning

• For light dirt: Use a slightly damp (not wet) soft cloth; wipe gently and air‑dry naturally.
• For spills: Blot immediately with a dry cloth—do not rub. Let dry away from heat.
• Do not use soap, detergent, bleach, alcohol, solvent, or household cleaner.
• Interior (water‑resistant lining): Wipe with a damp cloth; avoid soaking.

Conditioning (Every 2–3 Months)

• Use a neutral, all‑natural leather conditioner (no dyes, no heavy oils).
• Apply a tiny amount to a clean cloth; massage in soft circular motions.
• Let absorb 15–20 minutes; buff lightly with a dry cloth for a natural sheen.
• Keeps leather soft, prevents cracking, and enhances patina.

Handling Scratches & Marks

• Small surface marks: Gently rub with a clean finger or soft cloth—natural oils often blend them in.
• Avoid abrasive brushes or scrubbing.
• Remember: Subtle marks are part of full‑grain leather’s unique character.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry, well‑ventilated space.
• Use the original dust bag if available; avoid plastic bags that trap moisture.
• Stuff lightly with tissue paper to maintain shape.
• Keep upright; do not stack heavy items on top.
• Separate from dark or dyed materials to prevent color transfer.

Travel Care

• Place in a dust bag inside your luggage to avoid scuffs.
• Keep in a cool, dry section—away from damp toiletries or direct pressure.
• After travel: Air out and wipe clean before storing.

What to Avoid

• Prolonged sun or heat
• Harsh chemicals, perfumes, makeup, oils
• Overfilling or forcing zippers
