How to Unsullied Leather After Laser Engraving

Introduction

Laser engraving is a popular method for etching designs and patterns onto leather products. It provides precise and detailed engraving results, but it leaves behind residue and debris on the leather surface. Cleaning the leather after laser engraving is essential to maintain its quality and appearance. In this article, we will explore the step-by-step process of cleaning leather after laser engraving, specifically focusing on the use of the Monport 80W CO2 Laser Engraver & Cutter with Autofocus and Bracket. In this article, we will discuss on how to clean the leather after laser engraving.

1. Gather the necessary cleaning materials 

Before starting the cleaning process, gather the following materials: 

• Soft microfiber cloth
• Leather cleaner
• Mild soap (optional)
• Distilled water (optional)
• Leather conditioner 

2. Remove debris and residue 

Use a soft microfiber cloth to gently wipe away any loose debris or residue left behind by the laser engraving process. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid scratching the leather surface.

3. Clean with leather cleaner 

Apply a small amount of leather cleaner onto a clean section of the microfiber cloth. Gently wipe the leather surface in a circular motion. Ensure that you cover the entire engraved area. Leather cleaners are specifically formulated to remove dirt, stains, and oils without damaging the leather.

4. Address stubborn stains 

For stubborn stains or marks that are more challenging to remove, you can use a mild soap mixed with distilled water. Dip a clean cloth into the soapy water and wring out any excess moisture. Gently rub the stained area in a circular motion until the stain is lifted. Wipe away any remaining soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.

5. Dry the leather

After cleaning, allow the leather to air dry naturally. Avoid using heated tools or direct sunlight to speed up the drying process, as this can cause the leather to crack or lose its natural oils.

6. Apply leather conditioner

Once the leather is completely dry, apply a leather conditioner to restore moisture and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the instructions on the conditioner for the best results. Gently massage the conditioner onto the leather surface using a clean cloth, focusing on the engraved areas.
