Cowhide cleaning or Vachetta Cleaning is the top issue for many Bag Spa shops. The character of this leather type is smooth touch, the original color lookalike pale pink, highly absorbed rate, easy to get wet or stain but hard to clean. Therefore, we would like to share "How to clean the Cowhide in proper step"
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. That's why when we need to roll the cowhide in stock the avoid the light.
Here are the proper steps for cleaning the Cowhide/Vachetta
1. Cut the sponge into 5 pieces (the size of the sponge should match with the cowhide part size)
2. The first 2 procedures, BT.Cowhide Whitening and BT.Cowhide and Calf Leather Cleaner need to scrub it hard, not wipe, only wipe it won't help because it's too light.
3. Pour BT.Cowhide Whitening to the small glass, dip the sponge absorb the solution then squees it off make it a little damp.
4. Begin to scrub to the cowhide with the BT.Cowhide Cleansign Sponge in one direction.

6. When the sponge gets dirt, cut the dirt portion off with a cutter, do not tear the sponge with a hand before continuing scrub. The sponge used for scrub cowhide must be clean otherwise the dirt will transfer back to the cowhide.
7. While the Cowhide is wet, do not touch the cowhide because it might leave a fingerprint on the Cowhide.
8. If the color of the Cowhide piece doesn't equal, some areas might stand out in black, clean the black area first 1-2 rounds then for 3-4 rounds clean them all.
9. BT.Cowhide and Calf Leather cleaner is needed if the result of BT.Cowhide Whitening is too pale. The BT.Cowhide and Calf Leather will help to blend the color of the pale cowhide to make it more yellowish.
