Simple care methods can support the longevity of your equipment
Caring for Your Uppeal Products
Our Uppeal material is naturally water-resistant and incredibly durable. Unlike traditional leather, it won't become brittle and requires almost no maintenance.
Important: Never use leather conditioners, moisturizers, or traditional leather care products on Uppeal. These can permanently damage the material. No impregnation sprays or waxes are needed either.
The beauty of Uppeal: you can rinse it with plenty of water – even under a running tap or in a bucket! Simply dry with a cloth afterwards. No special products needed.
Do
- •Rinse with plenty of water – won't become brittle!
- •Add mild soap for tougher stains
- •Simply dry with a cloth afterwards
Don't
- •Use leather conditioners or moisturizers
- •Apply impregnation sprays or waxes
- •Use saddle soap or harsh detergents
