Tropical climates can damage leather items more quickly than cooler, drier climates due to heat, moisture, and mold. Here are some tips on how to care for leather goods in locations that experience warm, humid weather conditions.
1. Use a dehumidifier or air conditioner. Electric dehumidifiers work to maintain humidity levels below 40 percent, which helps prevent moisture from damaging your leather items. Running an air conditioner for at least one hour per day in an area where your leather items are stored also assists with reducing humidity and preventing mold growth.
2. Store leather items properly. Use a dehumidifier box, such as a Hungry Hippo, to keep your leather clothes and accessories, but don’t use plastic bags for storage, since this encourages moisture accumulation inside.
3. Clean your leather items with clove oil. This essential oil can be mixed with water and lightly sprayed or wiped onto leather goods to cleanse them and remove mold. Before cleaning an entire item with clove oil, test a small spot to ensure it will not stain.
