什么是皮革？
Leatherette isn’t leather; it’s a synthetic material made of vinyl and is designed specifically to mimic leather. It’s typically made from natural or synthetic fibers that are coated in PVC or polyurethane and contains no animal by-products. Leatherette has become a popular leather alternative and is commonly used in furniture and clothing. Are you considering storing your leatherette furniture or clothing? Read on for five tips for storing leatherette so you can make it last forever!
如何存放人造皮革？
延长使用寿命
人造皮革是一种超级耐用的合成材料。只要保养得当，人造皮革可以轻松使用 10 多年。它只需要极少的保养，不像动物皮革那样容易损坏：只需用湿布将人造革擦拭干净即可。
将皮质衣物挂在衣架上
When storing leatherette clothing, make sure you hang it on a rack so it doesn’t deform or end up with large creases. Even though leatherette is more durable than leather, its plastic outer layer can be damaged with deep cracks if it is left bunched up or folded for a long time. And these cracks and creases can’t really be massaged or conditioned out—so take care and hang up your leatherette clothing!
气候控制
Leatherette furniture and clothing should be stored in a cool dry place. Compared to leather, leatherette doesn’t have as many requirements for keeping it in good condition. Climate-controlled storage units are recommended but are not necessary for leatherette items. Simply store them in a dry place and out of the sun and the leatherette will last forever.
避免阳光照射
由于人造革的表面是塑料，因此不会像皮革那样褪色。不过，阳光会使人造革的表面长期暗淡无光，因此建议将所有人造革家具和衣物存放在远离阳光直射的地方。
条件
如需额外护理，可使用人造革清洁剂或护理产品。但一定要确认是用于人造革而不是皮革，因为某些皮革护理剂对人造革不起作用。
