Leather cleaning services include all the steps needed to clean, maintain, condition, and restore your leather product. They’ll also offer advice on how to take the best care of your leather between servicing. Here are some of the most common leather cleaning services:
Leather lounge cleaningLeather lounges are popular because they’re a classic look and usually last longer than fabric couches (especially with kids and pets around). Your professional leather couch cleaner will clean your couch with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, before drying it with a fresh cloth. They’ll then protect it from stains and cracking with a leather cream. Your cleaner will be sure to bring their own supplies and will always spot test first to make sure the products are safe to use on your leather.
Leather car seat cleaningLeather is often used for car seats, but since most cars are kept outside, they’re often exposed to a lot of direct sunlight. (Not to mention potential food and drink spills that happen in most cars.) Cleaning leather car seats regularly is important to help the leather last longer and maintain the value of your car. Your cleaner will start by checking how your seats are made to ensure they use the right techniques to clean them and avoid damage. They’ll vacuum the seats to remove surface dirt and debris before wiping leather cleaner onto the seats with a soft cloth. If your seats need deep cleaning, they’ll use a soft brush to work the cleaning agent in. They’ll wipe all the surfaces clean before conditioning your seats to protect them and keep them hydrated between cleans.
Leather shoe cleaningLeather shoe cleaning starts by gently removing any dirt with a soft brush. Your cleaner will clean the leather upper and rubber sole of your shoe, paying special attention to any seams. If there are any laces, they’ll remove them for hand or machine washing. Then your cleaner will use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the surface (following the grain of the leather) with soapy water, before drying with a fresh cloth. Next, they’ll polish and buff the shoe to prevent cracking. You can ask your cleaner to also apply a coat of protection to help your shoe stay shiny between cleans.
Leather jacket, bag & accessory cleaning Leather jacket cleaning and bag cleaning can help remove odours and dirt from regular use. But it’s also ideal for waterproofing, colour protection, and ensuring your accessories last as long as possible. Techniques usually involve a general wipe over with a soft cloth and soapy water, before applying a leather protectant and conditioner to restore moisture.
