Care For Python Snakeskin Handbags

Care for Python Snakeskin Handbags


A python bag, being made of an exotic skin, must have special attention paid to its cleaning and cannot be treated with the same products as traditional leathers. Because python is a type of snakeskin, after time the scales will dry out and curl up off the bag, a problem exacerbated by improper care. Python bags are considered a luxury accessory and because of this are generally much more costly than those made of traditional leather. With gentle and infrequent cleaning, you will be able to maintain a python bag in good condition for many years. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Empty the interior of the bag so it can be laid flat.


2. Dampen a clean T-shirt with warm water and wipe down any surface dirt, smoothing in the direction of the scales so they are not lifted up. Pat the bag dry with a towel as excess wetness can cause the skin to darken.


3. For any areas that must be cleaned under the scales, wet a cotton swab and gently clean under each individual scale, being careful not to lift it any more than necessary.


4. Allow the bag to fully dry in a cool, dark place. Don't attempt to speed dry with any source of heat as it will dry out scales and cause scales to lift faster.


5. Apply an exotic skin conditioner, again smoothing on in the direction of the scales.
