Leather Cleaning and Maintenance

Leather furniture is a good investment. While leather is very durable, the evidence of wear is also very visible, which is why cleaning and maintenance are so important. Most cleaning products on the market are not suitable for leather and can damage the leather surface, causing dryness and cracking.

 

Chem-Dry provides a safe and effective leather upholstery cleaning that restores its natural vitality and luster, extending its lifespan for many years more. With regular cleaning by Chem-Dry’s professional leather experts, you can prevent excessive wear and tear and keep leather furniture looking great.

Caring for Leather Furniture

• Body oils, sweat, skin acids and regular wear and tear can reduce the appearance of leather furniture over time, leaving dark marks and spots.

• Oils and Greases - Body oils from humans and animals can easily be transferred and penetrate heavily the used parts of leather furniture, causing serious damage to the protective surfaces of the furniture.

• Atmospheric soils - Dust particles, airborne cooking oils and often invisible air pollutants from household activities can eventually enter leather furniture and cause problems.

• Common Soils - Soils including common dust, sand, and plant fibers are tracked into the home by adults, children and pets, clinging to the leather every time the furniture is used.

• Dyes and Inks - Dyes from leaky pens, newspaper ink, and fabrics such as denim are one of the ways in which inks and dyes can be transferred to leather furniture, and they are difficult to remove without damaging the surface.

 

Our certified leather experts will carefully determine the type of leather for your furniture and select products specifically designed to clean and remove soil build-up and other stain-causing elements. We will then protect your leather to restore and complement its natural beauty and feel.

Restoring Leather Furniture

Chem-Dry skilled technicians are well-trained to solve these problems. We take the time to inspect your leather furniture and apply special paints that exactly match the original color of your furniture. We can also refresh the color of sensitive aniline leather.


A regular cleaning schedule, including 2 to 4 professional cleanings per year, is recommended based on the age and amount of wear and tear of the furniture.
