Snakeskin is exotic leathers and is not widespread. Due to the particularity of the leather surface, note the following: Snakeskin is usually very stable leather, but the scales are sensitive. Damage should be avoided because snakeskin in most cases cannot be repaired. Often, the friction against the grain make the scales stand-up over time and this cannot be reversed. We recommend taking extreme care during cleaning and application of care products to avoid friction against the grain.
CLEANING AND CARE
Wipe stains with a slightly damp cloth. Not too wet! Also, do not work too wet with leather cleaners.
To protect and care the leather, we recommend COLOURLOCK Elephant Leather Preserver. It is a synthetic fat that gently nourishes and protects the leather from drying. Synthetic fats prevent mold and mildew growth and also waterproofs the leather. Therefore, synthetic greases are suitable preservatives for durable leather articles
Wipe some Leather Preserver into a soft cloth and care the leather in direction of the scales. Not against the grain! This facilitates the work and protects the surface.
Important! Maintain regularly and apply the product sparingly! Due to the roughness of the surface too much applied fat can make the surface sticky. Treat the leather two to four times a year and remember to use the Leather Preserve sparingly. If the leather is used often, we recommend more treatments with minimal use of product per year as opposed to one treatment per year and high application of the preserve.
In porous and / or rough surfaces or in very old and dry leathers we recommend to care with COLOURLOCK Aniline Protector. The advantage of the Aniline Protector is that it is a re-oiling spray and is therefore evenly applied without mechanical stress on the surface. Important! Maintain regularly and apply the product sparingly and do not overdose!
Important for any cleaning and maintenance: Always test before in a hidden area!
