Leather can face a truckload of wear and tear and still not give away. As a material, it is as tough as they come. It is used to make a large number of products including shoes, belts, jackets, purses, car seats, sofas, chairs, even hockey goalie pads. Such products are not only appreciated for their strength but also their enduring look and feel.
While most people do not doubt the inherent resilience that leather brings to the table, one of the prevailing misconceived notions about leather goods is that these shouldn’t come in contact with water. It’s almost as if water has the ability to destroy leather’s robustness and durability; this notion naturally leads to a belief that a clean wash process is a really bad idea if you want to clean leather.
