Regular moisturising with a cream and/or wax will help to reduce signs of wear and tear caused by use. The need for moisturising will depend on the characteristics of the leather, but we recommend that you do this as soon as the products begins to show signs of scratching from use. At a minimum, products should be moisturised every six months. If the item is used daily, every few months. We recommend the use of balms, beeswaxes and creams specially formulated for leather products. Such products can be purchased from Rivet OÜ, Karnaluks OÜ, Hobuhooldus e-shop and shoe shops (in Estonia). When choosing a care product, make sure that it is not tinted and is suitable for use on natural leather.
The product should be applied with a sponge as a thin layer. It should then be left to absorb for a few hours. We recommend, for example, to moisturise the product in the evening if you want to wear it the next day. It is important not to overload leather with the product, as it will not be absorbed and the surface may remain greasy.
We do not recommend waxing/creaming chamois leather. To do this, you should purchase moisturisers specifically designed for chamois, often in the form of a spray.
