Cleaning and maintenance tips for water-repellent leather
-
Regular cleaning: Remove dried mud or accumulated dirt by using a soft-bristled brush or a cloth lightly dampened with water.
-
Leather care and waterproofing: To maintain the leather's natural elasticity and renew the water-repellent properties of the Hydro range, it is recommended to periodically apply a neutral nourishing cream and a protective waterproofing spray.
-
Zipper maintenance: Periodically wipe the zipper with a dry cloth to prevent it from getting stuck due to dirt or debris.
-
Air-drying at room temperature: If the interior becomes damp, remove the insole and let it dry naturally in the shade in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct exposure to radiators, heaters, or sources of intense heat to prevent the leather from drying out.
