What is the best humidity level to keep my leather & faux leather bags?
- by Super User
The usage of a humidifier at settings 30 ~ 50% would be best to maintain leather & faux leather products.
Humidity levels set too low will cause leather & faux leather to crack easily.
High Humidity or heat levels will cause fungus to grow easily and cause materials such as faux leather to have chemical reactions which may cause the following.
1. Stickiness of material
2. Peeling of material
3. Discolouration, etc.
Typical Humidity levels in Singapore may hit as high as 90% RH so its always good to invest in a quality dehumidifier to maintain your quality leather pieces.
