Leather is a durable and stylish material and suitable for clothing, shoes and furniture. However, like many other materials, leather can quickly wrinkle if it is used a lot and not stored properly. Even so, it can be easy to get wrinkles out of leather if you know how to handle the material properly. By removing the wrinkles with a little heat and steam, you can keep the leather looking brand new without damaging it.

To step

Method 1 of 4: Pulling the leather

  1. Iron. Iron the leather quickly and lightly. Do not hold the iron on the leather for a long time or move it slowly over the leather, even in areas with stubborn creases. This can burn and permanently damage the leather.
    • Do not hold the iron against the leather like that. If necessary, reposition the paper or cloth if the garment is larger or you want to treat deeper creases.
    • Store or hang the leather garment immediately after ironing if you do not plan to use it immediately.

Tips

  • Cover your leather items with a thin, light cloth, such as a thin cotton garment bag or muslin cover, if you are storing them for a long time.
  • Store your leather garments in a dry, ventilated place where the temperature is constant. Temperature differences can cause the leather to wrinkle, crack and become damaged.

Warnings

  • Leather is not made to withstand extreme or prolonged heat and moisture. Make sure you expose the leather as little as possible to heat and wet and damp conditions.
