Hydrogen Peroxide on Leather

On the application of hydrogen peroxide to leather
Leather is made of fine materials, but it is often stained when used daily, which damages its appearance and quality. Everyone thinks of good strategies to protect the beauty of leather. Today's discussion on the use of hydrogen peroxide in leather is really a topic worth exploring.

Hydrogen peroxide has oxidizing properties. In some situations, it can decontaminate and sterilize. However, when applied to leather, it should not be rashly applied. Leather has different textures, and there are many types, or smooth and delicate, or tough and thick, each with its own characteristics.

If the leather is slightly stained and the material is resistant to oxidation, moderately diluted hydrogen peroxide may be tried. Dip it in a soft cloth and wipe the stain lightly. The action should be slow and light, and beware of hurting the texture of the leather. After wiping, quickly wipe it with a moisturized cloth to remove residual hydrogen peroxide, and dry it in a ventilated place at the back. Do not expose it to the hot sun to avoid dry and cracked leather.

However, if the leather is a rare material, such as lambskin, ostrich skin, etc., or has a special coating, it is not suitable to use hydrogen peroxide. Because of its strong oxidation, it may cause leather to fade and harden, which will damage its natural texture and value.

Furthermore, the color of leather products should also be paid attention to. If it is dark leather, hydrogen peroxide may cause the color to become lighter, which will affect the overall appearance. Therefore, before use, it is advisable to try it in a small area in a hidden place of leather to see if there are any adverse reactions before deciding whether to use it in a large area.

In short, the application of hydrogen peroxide to leather needs to be carefully weighed. Only by understanding the properties of leather and knowing the advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen peroxide can we ensure the long-term radiance of leather and make the best use of it without damaging its quality.
