Surface Dirt: Most surface dirt can be removed by gentle wiping with a clean, damp cloth. Scuffs: Lightly rub the marks with your fingers. Often the natural oils in the leather will help buff out small scuffs. Bosca Leather Care Lotion can also be used to help remove small scuffs. Apply a small amount onto a clean, dry cloth and rub gently into the leather, evenly covering a complete section or panel of the product in order to achieve a uniform appearance. When dry, gently buff the leather with a dry, clean cloth. Cleaning Fabrics: All of our fabrics can be cleaned by using a mild, neutral detergent and warm water solution; mixing approximately one teaspoon in one pint of water. A clean, white cloth dampened with this solution should be used to "lift" out the stain by blotting the complete area. Never scrub or brush one particular spot on your bag as this could lighten the color of your fabric. It is best to clean a complete section of the product to achieve a uniform appearance. Maintaining your Bosca: New leather is still flexible due to oils left in the leather after the tanning process. New products should receive a light coating of Bosca Leather Care Lotion every six months to maintain lubrication and flexibility.
