Leather Care Information

Try to avoid leaving the leather Notebook PC in direct sunlight, like the dashboard of your car, or else

the color will fade.

Do not use paint thinner or other chemicals to remove marks or spots. They will lighten the color and

make a small spot worse.

There are three stages in leather care that include cleaning, conditioning, and protection. It is important

to remember to work on the leather Notebook PC in a well-ventilated area. Customers are suggested to

buy good leather cleaner at any leather carrying bag store, sporting goods store, most shoe stores, and

shoe repair shops.

I. Cleaning

1. To clean the leather surface, rst choose a cleaner that will help preserve the natural lubricating oils

instead of stripping them. The cleaner of your choice should not leave any greasy residue behind.

Residue makes leather susceptible to bacteria and can break down the stitching of the leather Note-

book PC.

2. Before applying anything to the leather Notebook PC, be certain to test it out for effect and possible

color distortion on an area that is not visible to the eye.

3. Once the leather care product is acceptable to use, apply it to the whole leather Notebook PC. With

a slightly dampened cloth, remove the cleaning product.

4. For areas with stitches, there are brushes available on the market.

II. Conditioning

1. Leather conditioners are meant for occasional use. They contain fats and/or oils that help lubricate

leather and replenish the suppleness. Look for a leather care product that will penetrate the strong

bers in leather.

2. While petroleum by-products will not damage the leather immediately, they do over a period of

time.

3. Just as with cleaning, keep on the look out for thick, greasy conditioning treatments for the best care

of the leather Notebook PC.

III. Protection

1. Moisture barriers are extremely crucial in preventing rain or other liquid hazards from damaging

leather. Stiffness and spouting will happen if leather is not protected beforehand.

2. There is a drawback in protecting leather with a moisture barrier product. They tend to ll in the

pores with a greasiness that makes cleaning, conditioning, and polishing difcult, but it is a necessary

process to ensure leather is not destroyed. Periodically apply a moisture barrier and allow it time to

penetrate and dry before using the leather Notebook PC.
