[Make your favorite bag beautiful!] We will introduce how to care for it using a complementary cream.

Hello! I'm the HushTug musician.

In today's blog, we will introduce you to a color-changing cream that removes scratches from leather bags.

How do you take care of scratches on your bag?
If you use it without paying attention, not only will it look bad, but it may also cause it to deteriorate faster.

This is a necessary care method to keep your bag in good condition for a long time, so if you're interested, take a look!

Things to prepare before caring for a wound

1. Horsehair brush

Use this to remove dirt and dust from leather products before using the color-changing cream. It's very useful to have one on hand as it's something you use every time you care for your leather products!

2. Complementary cream

This is a color cream that repairs scratches on your bag.
At HushTug, we recommend Saphir's complementary color cream.
For the cream colour please refer to the following:

3. Cotton fabric

Use when applying complementary cream.
It can be used on any cotton material, and we recommend using items such as old T-shirts that get stained with cream every time.

How to care for your skin using complementary cream / steps

Once we have everything we need, we can begin providing care.
There are a total of five steps in the care process, so we will introduce them in order.

1. Check the areas to be treated

This time we will be taking care of the corners of the bag, which are the areas most prone to scratches.
As you can see in the photo, the leather fibers are visible and some areas have changed color, which is noticeable.

We will take care of this and make it less noticeable!

2. Remove any dirt or dust from the surface

Use a horsehair brush to brush the areas where you will be applying the complementary cream.
The corners of bags tend to collect dirt and dust, and if you apply complementary cream while there is still dirt on them, the color may become uneven.
Brush thoroughly to clean the entire bag!

3. Apply complementary color cream

The complementary cream is like paint, so if you apply it too thickly it will dry and become hard and shiny, which will ruin the natural texture of the leather, so be careful.

Take an amount about the size of one coffee bean at a time and apply it little by little!

4. Dry

After applying the color-changing cream, leave it in a well-ventilated area for 10 to 15 minutes and allow it to dry naturally.
If you use it before it is completely dry, the complementary cream may get on your hands or clothes. Make sure it is completely dry before using it!

5. Brush to blend

Finally, brush the applied area.
The painted areas have a matte look and less shine than unpainted areas.
If you brush it after it dries, it will become shiny and blend in with the surrounding area, making it less noticeable.

lastly

This time we introduced how to care for scratches using leather color-changing cream.

Anyone can easily treat abrasions by using a complementary cream.
The corners of your bag are prone to wear, so check them regularly and take care of them to keep them in good condition!


Thank you for reading to the end today!
