Let’s talk leather
Overview
Like all upholstery, leather upholstery and furniture are by no means immune to a build-up of dirt and grime.
Even though leather is very hard-wearing, skin cells, hair, clothing fibres, bacteria, dust mites, bits of dead bugs, soil particles, pollen, and microscopic specks of plastic - all these combine with our own (and our pets) natural skin and body oils to cause a build up of soiling over the months & years.
A regular wipe-down with a cleaning cloth or domestic leather wipe will help remove some this soiling, however over time, this build-up of dirt & grime forms a bond that can’t be removed by by domestic methods.
Using water (or normal cleaning chemicals) is rarely a good thing for leather surfaces - causing the surface to dry-out and potentially crack.
Our professional leather cleaning chemicals and process can remove this build-up, and restore your lounge and furnitures natural lustre, and help protect it for years to come.

Chemistry
As always, leather cleaning is simple chemistry (and a bit of elbow-grease).
The oils, grease, dirt & soiling is ground into the grain of the leather over the months and years.
Soiling, by nature, is inherently acidic by pH value. We counter this by utilising specialist leather cleaning agent, with naturally occurring alkali pH value that gently softens and breaks down the dirts greasy (slightly acidic) bond with the leather, allowing us to clean it away, leaving the leather clean, fresh and conditioned :)
Our process
Our leather cleaning is all done by hand :)
Brush, Wipe & Vac
We start by cleaning away loose particles and crumbs from the leather surfaces.
Leather cleaner
Remember the chemistry? A specialist leather cleaning agent is sprayed onto the leather. This is allowed to dwell for around 2-3 minutes in order to do its work and loosen the dirt.
We work in sections of around 30cm x 30cm at a time.
Agitation
We then utilise a specialist leather brush (with very soft bristles), to gently agitate the cleaning agent and the underlying dirt and grime.
Extraction.
The muddy mix of leather cleaning agent and dirt, grease and grime is cleaned from the leather surface.
Condition & Protect
Finally, we recondition the leather with a conditioning agent to help keep it supple and protected.
