Natural leather, like the kind used in Mado products, is known for its beauty, durability, and timeless appeal. But to keep it looking its best, regular cleaning and proper polishing are essential. The good news is—you don’t need harsh chemicals or complicated tools. With the right approach, you can maintain the leather’s natural shine and texture for years to come.
Step 1: Dust and Wipe Gently
Start by using a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, slightly dampen the cloth with clean water (never soak the leather) and wipe gently to lift off any built-up residue. Avoid using too much water, as it can stain or warp the leather.
Step 2: Use a Natural Leather Cleaner
Choose a leather cleaner specifically made for natural leather—ideally one with minimal chemicals or a pH-balanced formula. Apply a small amount to a soft cloth, not directly to the leather, and work it in using gentle circular motions. Test on a hidden area first to be safe.
Step 3: Conditioning Matters
Natural leather can dry out over time. To prevent cracking or fading, apply a leather conditioner every few months. Use a small amount and massage it in evenly. Conditioning helps keep the leather soft, supple, and well-hydrated.
Step 4: Polish for a Natural Shine
To finish, use a clean, dry cloth to buff the surface. This enhances the leather’s natural luster without leaving behind an artificial shine.
Bonus Tip: Always store Mado leather items in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight or humidity, to protect their quality long-term.
With these simple steps, your natural leather Mado products will stay beautiful, clean, and polished—naturally.
