Since the release of the first Iphone there have been all sorts of protective cases for it in production. Silicon, metal, leather and all sort of other materials have been used for the production of these cases and almost all of them have a pretty short life span (of course if you don't buy those carbon fibre ones that cost around 1000 dollars). Leather cases are maybe the most used ones along with their silicone relatives. And this is quite normal, leather cases look good, they're stylish and of course most of them are made from natural products only. In this article we'll talk about some easy cleaning tips for this type of cases.

Many cleaning professionals that offer house cleaning in Sydney warn you about the usage of harsh cleaning products when cleaning leather. Leather is very sensitive to all sorts of chemicals and should be cleaned carefully.

Before we clean it let's mention some helpful maintenance tips. This type of cases should never be put in a place where there is high temperature changes. For example if you put it out on a table when the sun is shining brightly you may risk of causing cracks on the leather's surface. Also there will be a quick colour change that will ruin the overall look of the case. Moisture is another enemy to leather cases that's why be sure to always keep it away from water and other liquids. Accidental spils should be treated immediately with a soft cloth. Do not try to dry a leather case with a hair dryer or other quick heating household electrical appliances. If you do that there is a high risk of shrinking the leather and your mobile device won't fit any more. Also cracks and discolouration will soon appear after this treatment. But enough with the tips let's get to the cleaning procedure.

If stains and smudges have covered the surface of your leather case you'll need to make an easy cleaning solution. Baby wash is the best cleaning product for such a delicate item. First take a spray bottle and pour in it 8-12  ounces (about 300ml) of warm water. Add a few drops of baby wash into the bottle and shake it, so that the ingredients mix together. You will notice suds appearing in the bottle this means that the baby wash is properly diluted. You may think that the next step is to spray the leather case with the cleaning solution but you'll be wrong. Never spray a cleaner directly to a sensitive leather surface. Take a clean microfibre cloth and spray the solution onto it. Be sure that it's damp not soaked with the solution. Gently wipe the surface of the leather case with the cloth. Use circular motions and renew the cleaner if it dries too quickly. Once the smudges and stains are gone be sure to dry the leather case with another microfibre cloth. Finally buff the leather with another soft cloth to bring out the shine. And this is it your leather case should be as good as new.

I hope that this cleaning method helps you and you will always have a very nice and clean leather Iphone 5 case. And remember if you are  situated in a Australia and need proper cleaning services for your home contact the cleaners from Sydney.
