Simple steps to a perfect wallet

Face it, a wallet is probably an item you've never thought about cleaning. On the other hand, you use it every day, sometimes even several times! The Misuri Zip Billfold for example, available in many bright colors like pink, yellow, green, and red but also in the classic colors like black and brown made of soft calfskin, is one you won’t want to put down. So, it pays to clean your genuine leather wallet properly!

We recommend using a leather cleaner about once a month and more intensive care every six months. Using a leather cleaner will ensure that most of the dirt is removed on a regular basis, and the conditioning will give it an extra layer of protection. Clean carefully on the luxurious Woven Double Zip Billfold from Misuri. This women's wallet is crafted from soft lambskin and features a hand woven pattern. Never go with aggressive chemicals on such unique leather goods so they won't ruin them.

The gentle basic cleaning

For a good basic cleaning of your genuine wallet, use a damp cloth with a small amount of dishwashing liquid or a mild baby shampoo. Rub the deerskin trifold wallet gently in circular motions, washing both the inside and outside leather. Rinse it well, again using only a damp cloth, not under running water. After that you should use a leather cleaner, apply it on the outside with a soft toothbrush and on the inside with a clean cloth and let it soak for 30 seconds. Polish afterwards. You may need to use a cotton swab to get into the hard to reach corners. Now the basic cleaning of this modern men's wallet, that you get in the classic colors as well as burgundy and taupe, is done.

The intensive care for your leather wallet

Made of fine hammered calfskin in two-tone design, the two-tone bifold wallet with flap should be treated with a leather conditioner every six months to keep the wallet well cleaned. Apply the conditioner to one corner of the leather only after testing to make sure the colors match. Apply the conditioner to a clean cloth, rub over the wallet in a circular motion and allow it to dry.

It's best to let it dry overnight. If you clean your leather wallet regularly, it will get easier and easier in the long run with a little practice.
