Leather upholstery furniture when used regularly will lose its original appearance. It’s colour and may look faded and it will become dull through soiling. This is a fair comment to say that it is more noticeable on lighter colours than darker tones.

Dirt, grime and oils can be very difficult to remove even with the leather cleaning kits supplied by the furniture manufacturer. It can be a time-consuming process and sometimes one that yields less than satisfactory results overall.

Cleaning Leather Suites

The use of household detergents or baby wipes for leather cleaning over time can cause the leather to crack or peel. As a natural material, oil from skin, pets, and grease works to deteriorate the surface, causing the leather to discolour. Furthermore, it can also cause cracking and peeling of the leather surface. We use a highly effective professional leather cleaning process that will offer incredible results, without exception.

Please note that leather cleaning does have its limitations. If leather is cracked or larger damage has been caused, then the finished results will be affected. If there are any such limitations, we will make sure to discuss these with you prior to any work starting. This will form part of our quoting process. Please rest assured that we will always offer information and advice to make sure that we achieve the best possible results.

Feel free to call us on 0800 695 3455 to request a no obligation leather cleaning quote.

Achieving Clean Leather

Vacuum your leather

Start by vacuuming your leather furniture. It is important to remember to remove all throws and pillows. Check down the sides and under cushions for any larger items that could cause your hover a problem. It is important to use the brush attachment on the leather, so you do not damage it. Using harsher attachments could cause scratches or even rips.

Wipe down the leather

Vacuuming will remove dust, hair and food crumbs. However, your suite will also benefit from further cleaning. Your furniture tag will contain manufacturer’s guidelines in relation to cleaning.

Different letters will offer you guidance as to what solutions can be used. It will outline whether detergents or solvent cleaners can be used. Furthermore, it will also offer advice if no water or cleaning solutions can be used. In which case you would need to seek assistance from a professional leather cleaner. When wiping down your leather, make sure any cloth is only damp and not wet. A wet cloth will likely leave a water stain on your furniture.

Clean your leather with a specialist leather product

The application of any product should be done with a lint-free, soft cloth. A really good tip is to spot test a hidden area of your furniture. This will show you that the product will not cause damage. It is always a good idea to apply it gently and only apply a little product so that you are not saturating the leather.

Don’t forget to condition your leather

Once cleaned, it is important to protect your leather. This will keep it soft and supple. A leather conditioner will add moisture to the natural finish. Furthermore, it will offer a layer of protection against daily wear and tear.

If this process seems daunting or you feel like you could cause more damage than good, it is a great idea to call a professional. We have vast experience in leather cleaning and will always guarantee the best possible finish for all of your leather furniture. Call today on 0800 695 3455.
