CLEAN & CARE

How do I care for my FOM Leather product?

  • Oily liquids will be absorbed into the leather and could be difficult to remove. Although all our products are treated during manufacturing, we recommend pre-treating the leather before use with a suitable protective spray. We recommend buying our Dasco Protector spray. This will give your FOM product that extra layer of protection against different elements your product might get exposed to.

I spilled something on my bag/handbag/wallet. What now?

  • The most important thing to do is to treat it as soon as possible. Leather tends to absorb any liquid spilled on it and can stain the leather if not treated immediately. A slightly damp cloth could help if you don’t have any cleaning products available, depending on what has been spilt onto the item
  • We recommend using our Dasco Multi Cleaner on the bag as this is a great product to help get rid of some excess dirt, spots and spoils.
  • Simply spray on the Multi Cleaner on the bag and wipe it with a cloth.
  • After using the Multi cleaner, a small touch of our Leather Food should help reduce the effect of stubborn stains and spills. This will also help moisturise and condition the leather, giving life back to your FOM product
  • Apply the leather food by lightly stroking the leather food over the leather and massage it into the leather using your fingers. Start by using less and add more as needed.
  • NB – Leather food is not suitable to use on leather with a natural (suede/nubuck like) finish such as our Vellies, as well as Olive, Savanna, and Fudge leather products/wallets

How do I clean my Vellies?

  1. Spray Nubuck cleaning mousse (Meltonian’s Clean and Care Mousse) on and use the FOM Rubber to open up the nap of the nubuck and to spread the mousse evenly over the surface of the Vellie. Very important: Please be gentle with the rubber. Don’t try and forcefully remove any stain marks, the mousse will do the magic for you.
  2. Leave the FOM Vellies to dry for a minimum of 2 hours out of direct sunlight.
  3. When the Vellies are completely dry, brush it with the rubber to restore the nap of the leather.
  4. It is advisable to apply a Nubuck Renovator (we recommend Meltonian’s Suede and Nubuck Renovator) to restore and revive the colour of the nubuck.
  5. Apply suede/nubuck protective spray for that final cover before your next adventure.
