Tip 1: Use our special leather maintenance wax As mentioned above, leather wax or leather conditioner makes the leather water-repellant, dirt-resistant and supple. It helps to keep the leather looking good and prevents tearing and cracking. It is therefor important to treat your leather cooking apron with leather wax on a regular basis. You apply the grease to the apron and leave it on for about fifteen minutes so the leather can absorb it. After fifteen minutes you wipe of the excess grease. You can get a big 150ml jar in our webshop over here.  This Maintenance wax is also great to spoil your leather jacket or leather chair.     

Tip 2: Keep the air flowing The best way to store your apron is to hang it. This way it can simply air dry after use or after cleaning. When you have several leather aprons, leave some space between them, so that the air can easily reach the apron. Leather needs oxygen to stay in good condition. So don’t store your apron in a sealed bag and don’t put the leather aprons closely on top of each other. You can store it in a closet, as long as the closet is not airtight.

Tip 3: Store at room temperature Your leather bbq apron is your best friend in the kitchen and has no problem with the heat of the stove or the barbecue. It can even protect you against the heat. It can’t stand the heat for long periods of time. In the heat the leather will dry out. Dry leather will get stiff and will crack easily. Your leather apron is best stored at room temperature.


Tip 4: Never fold it We can’t say it clearly enough: never fold your apron. It will cause creases that can’t be removed anymore and eventually the leather will crack. The longer it is folded, the deeper and uglier the creases and cracks will become Even if you have greased your apron and the leather feels perfectly flexible, it will crack when you fold it. If you want to take your apron with you and want to make a small package out of it, you roll your apron.
