Leather Cleaning

The Leather Cleaning Process

When we arrive we will asses the furniture and determine the type of leather and which process will work safely and most effectively. We then apply a cleaner that will break up the dirt and oils on the leather.

We will then gently agitate the surface of the leather and remove dirt and oils with a terry cloth pad leaving a clean dry surface. To leave your furniture protected, we apply a conditioner that replenishes the natural oils in your furniture leaving it soft and flexible.
