In our past two posts, we offered a few tips on how and when to wash winter apparel. We talked about winter coats, sweatshirts, hats, gloves, and more! To take a look back at how these essential cold weather items need to be laundered visit here!
Today, our coin laundry in Raleigh is going to take a look at a more difficult type of winter coat. Many times, it’s hard to know when, how, or if you should even launder these types of coats.
Coin Laundry Raleigh NC: Leather and Suede Jackets
Wash times: Once a season.
Washing guidelines: The hides of leather and suede are pretty durable. They can take a cleaning better than we realize. Still though, it’s a very scary undertaking for someone who has never cleaned them before. It’s possible you’ve heard horror stories about leather getting wet and ruined. That’s why, even though you could probably clean these coats yourself at home, it’s often best to take them to an expert laundry specialist.
Laundry Express, coin laundry in Raleigh, can wash your coats at the end of every winter or spring. That way, you won’t have to worry about taking the right precautions or risk ruining your favorite jacket. In the meantime though, if you happen to get a few dirty spots on the coat, spot-cleaning stains immediately with a leather cleaner is perfectly fine. For suede it’s a good idea to get a suede brush and condition the coat every couple of weeks.
You can even prevent makeup and perfume from staining the collar of your leather by always wearing a scarf. Also, don’t overstuff the pockets. This leads to tears and a misshapen jacket. In addition, never store your leather jackets in plastic or bins. The leather will dry out and crack. They’re best left hanging on a hanger in the closet all year.
