Most leather lounges benefit from a professional deep clean every 6–12 months, with light maintenance cleaning every few months depending on use, pets, and household traffic
Yes — leather is designed to be cleaned and maintained. Regular cleaning removes body oils, dirt, and contaminants that cause cracking, fading, and premature wear
Over time, body oils and dirt break down the protective finish, leading to:
- Colour loss
- Dryness and cracking
- Sticky or worn areas
- Permanent damage requiring restoration
Yes. Household products often clean the surface only, while professional cleaning safely removes embedded oils and contaminants without damaging the leather coating
Many stains can be improved or removed depending on:
- The type of leather
- The age of the stain
- What caused the damage
We assess each piece individually before recommending the best solution
Yes. After cleaning, we apply protective conditioning products to help maintain softness, reduce wear, and slow future damage.
Common signs include:
- Dull or darkened seating areas
- Sticky or dry feeling leather
- Dirt that is stuck between the leather grain
If you’re unsure, we’re happy to assess it.
This is very common. In many cases, the area isn’t dirt anymore — it’s colour or coating wear that was being hidden by built-up oils and grime.
Once cleaned, the true condition of the leather becomes visible. The good news is this is usually repairable with colour restoration, rather than needing replacement
Different leathers (such as pigmented, aniline, semi-aniline, or protected leather) all require different cleaning products and techniques.
Using the wrong product can strip protection, cause staining, or lead to premature wear.
That’s why we always identify the leather type before cleaning.
First, don’t panic — many issues can be improved or corrected.
Damage can sometimes occur if strong cleaners, excessive moisture, or incorrect techniques were used. Common signs include fading, stiffness, peeling, or patchy areas.
We can assess the leather and advise whether the issue is:
- Residue remaining on the surface
- Protective coating damage
- Or colour loss requiring restoration
In many cases, professional repair can significantly improve the result
