Leather Care When Wet

Wet leather needs to be treated while it is still damp, it should not be allowed to dry out. Applying leather conditioner to the damp leather enables the product to seep through the pores and into the spaces left by the evaporating water. If not treated, it could result in leather cracking.

Leather will be stained by water, especially rain. Stains can be removed by rubbing the spot with a clean, damp sponge. Allow to dry naturally, never use heat to speed up the process.

Wet leather could shrink because the water displaces the natural oils and leaves the leather fibres exposed to the air.
