Cleaning the Belt

Dust and Dirt Removal:

• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe away surface dust and dirt.
• For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (such as saddle soap).
• Avoid soaking the leather.

Drying:

• Pat the belt dry with a clean towel.
• Let it air-dry at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Conditioning the Leather

Choose a Conditioner:

• Use a high-quality leather conditioner designed for full-grain leather.

Apply Conditioner:

• Use a clean, lint-free cloth to apply a small amount of conditioner.
• Rub it into the leather using circular motions.

Buffing:

• Allow the conditioner to be absorbed for 10-15 minutes.
• Buff the belt with a soft, dry cloth to remove any excess and restore shine.

Regular Inspections

• Look for signs of cracking, discoloration, or wear.
• Check the buckle and stitching to ensure they are secure.
• Address minor issues promptly to prevent further damage.

Rotate Your Belts

• Even though you love your belt, you should give it a break from time to time. Every day wear can cause it to become stretched out, so it's a good idea to have a few belts. This will give each belt a chance to rest and recover, helping them last longer.

Things to Avoid

Moisture:

• Avoid submerging your belt in water.
• Wipe off any spills immediately.

Excessive Heat or Rapid Drying:

• Do not dry the belt quickly in a clothes dryer, with a hairdryer, or place it near radiators.

Harsh Chemicals:

• Avoid using household cleaners, alcohol, or acetone.

Overloading:

• Don’t overstretch the belt or use it for purposes other than its intended function.

Storage Tips

• Store the belt in a cool, dry place.
• Hang the belt vertically or roll it loosely to maintain its shape.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
