INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PRESERVE LEATHER PRODUCTS
For leather products, Helios mainly uses Italian Mastrotto cowhide and Nappa cowhide - materials that are durable over time. However, to keep the product's original beauty for the longest time, you need to note the following:
1. How to preserve
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Use the included Helios cloth bag and box to store when not in use.
- Stuff newspaper inside to keep shape (for leather bags/cases).
- Clean and moisturize every 1-2 months with a specialized moisturizer.
2. How to use
- Avoid carrying heavy objects as this can cause the leather to stretch and deform.
- Close the zipper/bag properly to keep the shape.
- Avoid strong friction (rough clothes, metal edges).
- Avoid exposing skin surface to sweat for long periods of time.
3. How to clean
- Wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid contact with water.
- For light stains: use specialized leather cleaning solution.
- Never use alcohol, strong soaps, or bleach.
- Let dry naturally, do not use a dryer or expose to sunlight.
4. Things to avoid
- Do not let leather products come into direct contact with rainwater or seawater.
- Do not store in nylon bags or sealed boxes for long periods of time to avoid mold.
- Do not share chemicals with other leather products.
- Avoid direct contact with perfume, shampoo, cosmetics.
