Troubleshooting
Faux leather appears dull or dry
Gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid excessive moisture. Consider a specialized faux leather conditioner if the material feels very dry, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen it.
Creases or wrinkles in the faux leather
Hang the skirt for several days to allow creases to naturally fall out. If persistent, use a steamer on a low heat setting from a distance, or iron on the reverse side with a protective cloth on the lowest heat setting.
