Leather Sofa & Armchairs Cleaning
leather sofa cleaning and maintaining of your leather furniture is a necessary and important aspect of your house upkeep. It will not only address dust, dirt and oils that accumulate over time, but also keep the leather surface elastic and less susceptible to getting damaged by spilled liquids.
Leather sofas and leather furniture can be quite expensive, so when a stain appears it is necessary to be professionally cleaned. Ultimately, the success of leather sofa cleaning depends on two major factors - you need to correctly identify the type of leather that needs to be treated and secondly, the stain that is about to be treated.
Our professional range of cleaning products and methods have been specifically designed for different leather types. Each type is characterized by particular rate of absorbency. Being a natural product, the leather surface of your sofa readily absorbs water and dirt through its pores. Our team of professionals is well informed of and trained in the application of high quality products, pertaining to the following types of leather:
* Pigmented (protected, finished, painted) - this leather is easy to treated. All stains and marks can be removed in most cases with absolutely satisfactory results.
* Aniline leather (natural, unprotected, pure) - the real grain markings are visible on the surface of this leather. It comes in various types that react in a slightly different way when treated with cleaning products. The main issue with the aniline leather is that it is more absorbent of dirt and oils and therefore, not all marks will be removed with just one cleaning. But if you do it on regular basis, any stains will eventually fade out and blend into the colour of the furniture.
* Nubuck/Chaps/Stonewashed/Suede leather - these are actually aniline leathers that have been heavily brushed to obtain a velvet-like fabric. The main difference between these two being nubuck gets sanded on the outside, while suede has been rubbed on the inside.
* Bycast/coated leather - this is the newest type of split leather. It is produced by melting a glue on the surface than rolling on a thin film of coloured polyurethane. Gets scratched easily and lightens when it does, due to the fact that it´s predominantly produced in darker colors.
