How to Clean and Maintain Your Leather Motorcycle Gear

Three Phases of Cleaning Leather Motorcycle Gear

Leather motorcycle gear from Dtagmor Moto, like the Atlanta1.5 Motorcycle Jacket or the Orlando7.8 Motorcycle Jacket, when properly maintained, not only looks better with age but also performs better. This guide provides essential tips and steps to help you clean and care for your Dtagmor leather gear effectively.

Phase One: Cleaning the Interior

1. Removable Interiors
   Remove and wash liners according to instructions.

2. Air Out the Gear
   Air out gear regularly to reduce odors and moisture buildup. Use Febreze for added freshness.

3. Apply De-Salter
   Use a de-salter spray to remove salt buildup. Remove armor, turn the jacket inside out, and apply the spray. Let it dry completely.

Phase Two: Cleaning the Exterior

1. Choose a Quality Leather Cleaner
   Avoid silicones, waxes, or animal-based products. Use cleaners designed for leather motorcycle gear.

2. Apply Cleaner Sparingly
   Apply a small amount of cleaner to a soft rag, not directly to the leather.

3. Clean Gently
   Use gentle, circular motions to clean. Rinse the rag as needed.

4. Let the Jacket Dry
   Allow the jacket to dry completely for 24 hours before conditioning.

Phase Three: Conditioning Leather Gear

1. Apply Leather Conditioner
   Use a suitable conditioner with a soft, damp sponge, following the manufacturer's instructions.

2. Allow to Dry
   Let the conditioned leather dry thoroughly.

3. Avoid Over-Conditioning
   Condition only once or twice a year to prevent oil buildup.
