Before going through the Cowhide Cleaning procedures, let us understand how it came as a Cowhide or Vacheta a little. According to its production process, the Vachetta is the result of Vegetable tanning. The tanning chemical used in Vegetable tanning came from natural and normally the favorite hide for this tanning process is a cow then Cowhide and Vachetta is the same. The name Cowhide is referred to the animal type but Vachetta leather is referred to the tanning process. However, this type of leather isn't been dyed the color through, the charm of the Cowhide is the surface and changes the color itself by its age, it also has an effect from the UV from the light.
