Care and Cleaning: To care for your sisal kiondo, gently brush the sisal fibers with a soft brush to remove dirt and dust and avoid water exposure, as it can weaken the fibers. If necessary, spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, ensuring it dries completely to maintain durability. For the leather accents, use a quality leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking, and always avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the leather. Regular care will keep your kiondo looking vibrant and long-lasting.
