Conditioning:ย To improve quality, tone and feel of the leather, conditionย leather as needed by applying mink oilย to a microfiber glove or cloth and massaging it evenly onto the leather. Bati's vegetable-tanned leather absorbs moisture and natural oils and takes on a darker, richer tone afterwards.ย *Conditioning is a great way to help the leather develop a natural, gorgeous patina.ย
Liquids:ย Bati leather can get wet!ย Our leather is treated with organic ingredients that make it water resistant. Before making the goods, we actually wet the hide with a sponge and stretch the leather out to make it softer. So don't worry if the leather gets wet, just let it dry out.
Spillsย & Stains:ย Bati leather is durable and tough to stain. Stains appear more prominently on lighter leather colors. Treat stains promptly with a damp cloth and wipe clean. If treated quickly, most spills will not leave a stain. If marks or stains do persist, soak a sponge in lemon juice and rub the affected area with force.ย *After cleaning, you can condition the stain and the surrounding area to even outย the tone.
Washing:ย Hand wash clean and try not to wet the leather. For tough areas,ย soakย with soapy water and let sit. Rinse clean and let dry.
