Professional Leather Cleaning
Over time, body oils, sweat, and other stains can seep into your leather furniture, diminishing its appearance and longevity. Many cleaning products on the market can do more harm than good, stripping away leather finishes and causing dryness or cracking. Our leather care solution is designed to gently clean and restore your leather, preserving its beauty and preventing unnecessary wear. Keep your leather furniture looking its best for years to come.
Causes of Leather Deterioration
- Oils and Grease: Body oils attach and hold onto leather. Hair and hand oils are easily transferred to the head cushions and arm rests and can cause serious damage to the protective finish.
- Atmospheric Soils: Consider the dust that builds up on a coffee table or desk over a week’s time. This same dust is being deposited on your leather. In addition to this dust you add airborne cooking oils and atmospheric pollutants that are present, to some degree, in every home.
- Common Soils: These soils include the common dirt tracked in from outside along with sand and fibers from plants. The fibers are brought in the home by adults, kids and pets and attach to the leather every time the furniture is used.
- Dyes and Inks: The inks from newsprint in newspapers can readily be deposited on leather. Clothes such as denims can transfer dye onto leather in a process called dye transfer. The direct ink from a leaky pen or the aspiring toddler artist should not be forgotten.
Scuffs, Scratches, Cuts and Fading
Over time, your leather couches and chairs may encounter common issues that affect all leather furniture. At Airport Chem-Dry, our Chem-Dry Certified Technicians are expertly trained to address these challenges. Whether it’s repairing inevitable scratches or scrapes on protected leather or revitalizing the color of delicate aniline leathers, we’ve got you covered.
With access to 60 stock pigment colors—similar to those used in the tanning process—we ensure precise and seamless repairs. Our technicians will guide you through every step of the process, addressing your concerns and tailoring our approach to your furniture’s needs. We understand that leather is an investment, and our goal is to leave it looking as good as new when we’re finished.
How Often Should I Clean My Leather?
A regular cleaning schedule including professional cleaning 1-2 times per year is recommended. In between professional cleanings, you can maintain the health and beauty of your leather furniture by cleaning with Chem-Dry Soft Cleaner® and rejuvenating the protection with Chem-Dry Protection Cream®. Both products are found in the Chem-Dry Home Leather Care Kit.
