Caring for your leather MacBook sleeve
Cleaning and maintaining the leather
-
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the leather.
-
Apply a leather conditioner to the sleeve every 6-12 months to keep the leather soft and supple. This will also help protect it from cracking and drying out.
-
Keep the sleeve out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, as this can cause the leather to fade or dry out.
Dealing with scratches and scuffs
-
For small scratches and scuffs, apply a small amount of leather conditioner to a soft cloth and rub it into the affected area.
-
For deeper scratches, you may need to apply a leather repair kit. These can be found at leather supply stores or online.
-
Always test any cleaning or repair products on a small, inconspicuous area of the sleeve first to ensure that they won't damage the leather.
Storage tips for the sleeve when not in use
-
Store the sleeve in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
-
Avoid stacking heavy items on top of the sleeve, as this can cause it to become misshapen.
-
If possible, store the sleeve in a breathable bag or cover to protect it from dust and debris.
