How to take care of leather strap

I like leather strap. I think, on a dress watch, nothing beats leather strap. It has that soft, warm, personal, hugging feel to it. This is in stark contrast to the cold hardness of bracelet.

Excessive humid may cause mildewing on leather. Excessive dryness, on the other hand, may cause cracking. This happens when the leather lost its natural lubricant. There is no use buying water-resistant leather because these most likely will not work. It is impossible to cover all the pores on the leather. Leather, like your skin, needs to breath. Follow these instructions to clean your leather strap.

Cleaning with Water
Wipe gently with damp cloth. Followed by drying with clean cloth. After that, air dry the leather overnight. Do not at any time expose leather to heat. Don't use hair dyer or put it under the sun.

Cleaning with Soap
Soap the leather strap with soft soap. Wash off with clean water. Wipe dry with a piece of clean cloth. Leave the leather strap to air dry overnight. Do not use heat to dry leather.
