General cleaning
Before you clean your wallet at home, get all the contents out of it. Carefully fold the cards, business cards and money in one place so that they are not lost, or put things in another wallet. Shake out from the inside all the garbage that usually accumulates there. Then inspect the accessory, check if it has any complicated dirt or only light surface cleaning is needed.
Stains from ink and traces of a ballpoint pen can be removed with an alcohol-containing agent. Put some alcohol, vodka or lotion on a cotton wool and wipe the surface. The same composition will help cleanse the skin of fat and dirt accumulated in the seams. You can not rub hard, otherwise you can damage the top layer of the product, tear off the paint, or remove the protective impregnation.

How to prevent pollution
To protect the wallet from heavy pollution, moisture and sweat, you need to buy a spray for the skin. The processed accessory retains its color longer, and greasy stains and abrasions are less formed on it. When buying, pay attention to what type of skin the product is intended for, whether it is possible to treat the varnished surface with it, whether it will cope with suede or nubuck protection.
If you are afraid to use any tool for cleaning, then try its action on an inconspicuous area of skin. Use the composition only if it leaves no residue.
