What to do if your purse gets wet in the rain? How to deal with your purse getting wet in the rain

Leather bags are made of leather and need to be well cared for. It is best not to let water get into leather bags. If the leather bag gets wet by rain, wipe it dry with a microfiber cloth first. Pay attention to the use of strength, as the leather will swell after being exposed to rain.

Genuine leather is easily deformed when it encounters rain, so it is recommended to deal with it immediately after it gets wet. First, soak a cotton swab in alcohol, wipe the surface of the leather bag that was wet by the rain with the cotton swab, squeeze an appropriate amount of hand cream on the bag, and wipe and clean the leather bag with a towel.

Don't worry too much if your bag is wet in the rain. First, check what material your bag is made of. If your bag is made of leather, it is generally waterproof. Leather also has a certain degree of waterproofness. If your bag is made of canvas, the waterproofness is not ideal. For leather bags that are wet in the rain, first wipe them dry with a soft and absorbent towel, then take them to a ventilated place to dry or use a hair dryer to dry them with cold air. Remember not to expose the bag to the sun. For canvas bags that are wet in the rain, you can first wipe the water with a dry towel, then take them to the sun to dry or use a hair dryer to dry them.

1. Since the leather bag has not been waterproofed, if it is exposed to rain or gets wet and becomes moldy, you can use a soft dry cloth to wipe off the water stains or mold spots to prevent stains, and then place it in a ventilated and cool place to air dry. Do not use water or gasoline to rub the leather bag after it has been exposed to rain, because water will harden the leather, and gasoline will evaporate the oil in the leather and cause it to crack. Be careful to protect the metal accessories of the leather bag, and wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth to avoid oxidation of the hardware accessories caused by a humid and high-salt environment.

2. After the leather bag is dried, it is best to store it in a cotton bag instead of a plastic bag. Because the air in the plastic bag is not ventilated, the leather will be too dry and damaged. It is best to stuff some soft, absorbent paper into the bag to maintain the shape of the bag. If there is no suitable container, an old pillowcase is also suitable.

3. Never expose your bag directly to the sun, as that will cause your beloved bag to fade and deform. Doing so will increase the temperature inside the leather, accelerate the hydrolysis of fat, and the fat will be lost with the evaporation of water, causing the fibers inside the leather to stick together, which is worse than air drying. The leather will become harder and more brittle. Therefore, when the leather comes into contact with water, the water should be absorbed in time and placed in a ventilated place to dry naturally.

Sheepskin is a very delicate animal leather. Sheepskin is soft and comfortable, breathable and permeable, so sheepskin must be waterproof. Suede is similar to sheepskin. Suede has no coating, is breathable and absorbent, so it should not be exposed to water and should be kept dry.
