			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you&#8217;ve moved to bonded leather instead of &#8216;genuine&#8217; leather: you&#8217;ve taken the burden off the environment and switched to a green product, and you&#8217;ve saved boatloads of money. How, then, do you clean your new bonded leather? What&#8217;s the best way to restore it&#8217;s sheen and keep it maintained for years to come? Cleaning bonded leather, as it turns out, may be quite a bit simpler than you first thought.</p>
<h2>Easy Bonded Leather Cleaning Method</h2>
<p>Really, all you need to clean a piece of bonded leather is some warm water, a cloth, and a leather conditioner. It&#8217;s really that simple: the benefits of engineered products know no bounds, and extend to every facet of ownership. In no time at all, you can clean any piece of bonded leather in your home, and condition the leather to absorb abrasions, repel water, and generally take care of itself for years to come.</p>
<p>The cleaning process itself is really quite simple: put your warm water in a bowl, and then douse a cleaning cloth in it. Wring the cloth to get rid of the excess water; all you need for this is a damp cloth, not a soaking wet one. When you&#8217;ve got your cloth to be mostly dry, you can simply wipe away anything that&#8217;s grown attached to your leather. Be vigorous with your cleaning if you have to: the leather&#8217;s tough, and can stand up to anything you do to it.</p>
<h2>Conditioning Bonded Leather</h2>
<p>After you&#8217;ve cleaned the leather, the next step is to condition it. Again, then is a very simple process: you want to dab some leather conditioner on a new cloth, and slowly work it into the leather. Wearing latex gloves is advised, since the conditioner can stain your clothes or skin, but other than that it&#8217;s perfectly safe. It&#8217;s a process, and it&#8217;ll take several coats to condition your leather sufficiently: when your cloth is dry, just add a new dab of conditioner.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s really all there is to it. Cleaning bonded leather couldn&#8217;t be simpler, and is a major advantage of an engineered product. With it&#8217;s synthetic base, dirt and muck tends to slide off bonded leather, instead of staining it permanently. With that, it&#8217;s easy to see why some simple warm water can take off whatever ails your bonded leather.</p>
<h3>Take Good Care of Bonded Leather</h3>
<p>Like any product, if you take proper care of your bonded leather products, they&#8217;ll last essentially forever. When you purchase something, don&#8217;t see it as a throwaway of your money: instead, see it as an investment. Even with clothing or handbags, there&#8217;s a responsibility of cleaning and maintenance involved. If you do what&#8217;s required of you, though, products like bonded leather will return the favor in kind and keep you warm, stylish, and out of the weather.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Materials sciences are one of the most engrossing, and fascinating sciences the world over: with our current technology, the ideas of yesterday are becoming the products of tomorrow. Fabrics and textiles are being remade and repurposed, entirely new products are being created from strands of the old. Leather, as it turns out, is no different: there&#8217;s a new form of leather on the scene, and it&#8217;s making quite a stir.</p>
<h2>Bonded Leather</h2>
<p>Bonded leather, as it&#8217;s called, is a reconstituted, synthetic leather made from leather products and synthetics. It feels, smells, and has all the properties of the real thing: it&#8217;s still amazingly weather resistant, tough, and will last for decades with proper care. More than that though, bonded leather has advantages normal leather doesn&#8217;t: as a reconstituted product, it&#8217;s environmentally friendly to a degree normal leather will never reach. In addition, bonded leather is cheaper, by a large degree, when compared to the &#8216;genuine&#8217; product.</p>
<h2>Bonded Leather Competitors</h2>
<p>Opponents of bonded leather will talk of an almost ethereal quality: they know it&#8217;s &#8216;fake&#8217;, so they dislike it immediately, often times in the face of the massive advantages it has over the traditional product. People, by and large, fear change, whether it be in their handbag, or in the world around them. Even with a product as superior as bonded leather, they hold blindly to the relics of old, clutching them, fevered madmen whispering to lost relatives.</p>
<p>Those among us who are forward thinking, those pragmatists, will see bonded leather for what it is and jump at the chance to use it in our products. The advantages are numerous: it&#8217;s a product that is functionally the same as the &#8216;real&#8217; competitor, but cheaper to a massive degree, more environmentally friendly, and more versatile. Since it&#8217;s man made, bonded leather can be adapted to a variety of situations and products by using other synthetic products.</p>
<p>Advent of technology, then, will always move forward, with or without you. The best solution, the logical choice, then, is to hop along and benefit from the labors of our society; instead, many scoff and spit in the face of progress. Progress, though, can&#8217;t be deterred or derailed: we will always push forward, make things better, faster, cheaper. Bonded leather is no exception, in fact, it&#8217;s an example of the technological prowess of modern man.</p>
