Product Care – Preserve Your Championship Legacy
At Elite Title Belts, every belt we create is built to reflect excellence, legacy, and lasting craftsmanship. Whether you're a collector, a performer, or a proud champion, your title belt deserves the best care to maintain its appearance, structure, and value.
This guide provides essential tips for preserving your custom and replica championship belts for years to come.
1. Cleaning Your Title Belt
Routine cleaning keeps your belt looking as polished as the day it arrived. Follow these safe cleaning tips:
- Wipe Down Gently – Use a soft microfiber cloth to remove dust and fingerprints after each use or display.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners – Never use alcohol, bleach, or strong chemicals. Instead, use a mild soap diluted in water on a lightly damp cloth.
- Metal Plates – Gently polish brass, zinc alloy, or plated areas with a non-abrasive polishing cloth to maintain shine.
Pro Tip: Always dry the belt thoroughly after cleaning to prevent moisture damage or tarnishing.
2. Caring for Leather Straps
Our straps are crafted from top-grain hand-tooled cowhide leather or durable synthetic alternatives depending on your selection. To care for them:
- Avoid Direct Sunlight – Prolonged exposure may fade or dry out the leather.
- Moisturize Occasionally – Use a quality leather conditioner every few months to keep genuine leather soft and flexible.
- Do Not Soak – Water exposure can weaken leather and cause warping or cracking over time.
3. Storage & Display Guidelines
Proper storage is critical to preserving your belt’s longevity and presentation:
- Use a Belt Hanger or Display Case – This helps prevent bending, scratches, or pressure damage.
- Lay Flat When Not Displayed – If storing flat, place it on a smooth surface in a cool, dry space.
- Avoid Weight on Top – Heavy objects can warp plates or snap fasteners.
🛡 Your belt is both a symbol and an heirloom—treat it with the same level of prestige it represents.
4. Custom Belts – Handle With Special Care
Custom-designed belts often include personal engravings, logos, dual-plating, gemstones, and more. These components require careful handling:
- Handle by the Leather – Reduce wear on plates and stones by gripping from the strap.
- Avoid Contact with Lotions or Oils – This can dull enamel and fade paint over time.
- Inspect Details Regularly – Look for any loose studs, rivets, or gemstones and contact us for support if needed.
5. What to Avoid
To ensure your belt lasts generations, avoid the following:
- High humidity or wet environments
- Excessive bending or folding of the strap
- Contact with colognes, perfumes, or hair products
- Sharp objects or abrasive fabrics
- Tossing belts into bags or drawers without protection
