Leather care

PRUNE products are made with high quality materials. Its raw material is delicate and natural and may present variations or irregularities in its tone that affect the authenticity of the material used and, being a natural material, show us that no two leathers are the same.

Protection of wallets and small leather goods

For leather products, such as milano, napa, floater, croco, lizard, firenze, zafiano, etc. It is advisable to protect with colorless silicone (aerosol furniture polishes are a good option).
You should never apply the silicone directly to the material; first, apply it to a dry cloth and apply it to the product.
Never wash in a washing machine or store the product in humid places.

Footwear Protection

It is advisable to clean with a dry cloth to remove excess dust and then apply colorless waxes to protect the leather of the footwear.
Avoid storing both shoes in the same bag or box, since, due to use, the sole can become dusty and damage the material, especially suede materials.

Liquid spills

In the case of spills, dry the liquid immediately with a clean cloth or dry absorbent sponge. Do not rub. Then dry with a clean towel and let the item air dry (not in the sun).
The material should never be dried with a dryer, as the heat can damage the material.

Oil or Grease

In the case of stains with oil or grease, consult specialized dry cleaners. Remember that leather is skin and they are very susceptible to the absorption of these fluids.
