Care for Top Grain Leather
Top grain leather is a term that refers to leather taken from the top part of the hide. It is also sanded down greatly which gives it a very smooth consistency which is easier to clean than other forms of leather. Leather is a highly temperamental material that requires special care to keep from damaging it. With proper care, leather is a strong and durable material that can last for many years.

Instructions
1. Use a high quality leather soap or nubuck cleaning cloth to clean leather as it needs it. When choosing a leather soap, be sure that it doesn't leave a residue as this may be harmful to the leather by giving bacteria a place to thrive. This can eventually break down the leather.
2. Condition leather at least twice a year to prevent drying out and cracking. Use a high quality leather conditioner and a soft clean cloth.
3. Store the leather in a cool dry place. Do not cover leather in plastic as this may cause mold to grow on it.
4. Wipe up spills immediately to prevent damage using a soft clean cloth. Set the leather item in a cool dry place to dry.
5. Mix one cup of isopropyl alcohol to one cup of water to remove mold. Use a soft clean cloth dipped in the solution and dry using a soft clean cloth.
