WHAT SERVICES ARE OFFERED
SPECIALIZED CARE
PROFESSIONALS UNDERSTAND THE DELICATE NATURE OF LEATHER AND SUEDE, APPLYING CUSTOM-TAILORED TECHNIQUES AND SOLUTIONS TO AVOID DAMAGE.
EXPERT INSPECTION
BEFORE CLEANING, AN EXPERT INSPECTS THE ITEM TO IDENTIFY STAINS, FADING, OR WEAR, ALOWING THEM TO CUSTOMIZE THEIR APPROACH.
GENTLE CLEANING SOLUTIONS
ECO-FRIENDLY PRE-TREATMENT SOLUTIONS AND SPECIALIZED CLEANING AGENTS ARE USED TO LIFT DIRT, OIL, AND STAINS WITHOUT HARMING THE MATERIAL.
TEXTURE & SHINE RESTORATION
HAND-BRUSHING OR PRESSING IS PERFORMED TO RESTORE SUEDE'S SOFT, VELVETY FEEL AND LEATHER'S NATURAL LUSTER AND SHAPE.
STAIN REMOVAL
SPECIALIZED METHODS ARE USED TO ADDRESS STUBBORN STAINS LIKE INK, GREASE, OR WINE BUT AVOID VIGOROUS SCRUBBING.
WHAT ITEMS ARE CLEANED
LEATHER JACKETS & COATS
FOR LEATHER JACKETS, TRADITIONAL DRY CLEANING IS NOT RECOMMENDED BECAUSE THE CHEMICALS AND PROCESSES CAN STRIP THE MATERIAL'S NATURAL OILS, CAUSING IT TO DRY OUT, CRACK, AND DETERIORATE. INSTEAD, LEATHER GARMENTS REQUIRE SPECIALIZED CLEANING METHODS.
SUEDE JACKETS & VESTS
TO DRY CLEAN A SUEDE JACKET OR VEST, ALWAYS SEEK A PROFESSIONAL CLEANER SPECIALIZING IN LEATHER AND SUEDE, AS THEIR SPECIALIZED METHODS AND EQUIPMENT PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE DELICATE MATERIAL. PROFESSIONALS WILL BRUSH AWAY SURFACE DIRT WITH A SOFT-BRISTLED BRUSH, USE SPECIALIZED SUEDE-SAFE SOLVENTS TO TREAT STAINS, AND EMPLOY HAND-CLEANING TECHNIQUES. AFTER CLEANING, THEY OFTEN APPLY A PROTECTIVE FINISH AND USE CONTROLLED DRYING TO PRESERVE THE SUEDE'S TEXTURE AND FORM.
LEATHER & SUEDE HANDBAGS AND PURSES
FOR HIGH-END LEATHER AND SUEDE HANDBAGS, THE BEST APPROACH IS PROFESSIONAL HAND CLEANING BY AN EXPERIENCED LEATHER AND SUEDE CLEANER RATHER THAN USING A DRY CLEANING MACHINE, WHICH CAN DAMAGE THEM. FOR GENERAL MAINTENANCE, USE A SOFT, DRY BRUSH FOR DIRT AND A SPECIALIZED CLEANER DESIGNED FOR THE MATERIAL TO ADDRESS STAINS, ALWAYS TESTING ON AN INCONSPICUOUS AREA FIRST. LEATHER BAGS CAN BE CAREFULLY WIPED WITH A DAMP CLOTH AND CONDITIONED, WHILE SUEDE BAGS REQUIRE A DRY BRUSH TO RESTORE THEIR NAP.
LEATHER & SUEDE SHOES
YES, YOU ARE CORRECT. SUEDE AND LEATHER SHOES CAN BE PROFESSIONALLY DRY-CLEANED USING SOLVENTS INSTEAD OF WATER TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE DELICATE MATERIALS. THIS METHOD EFFECTIVELY REMOVES DIRT, STAINS, AND ODORS, ALTHOUGH HOME CARE FOR SUEDE INVOLVES GENTLY BRUSHING WITH A DEDICATED SUEDE BRUSH ALONG THE GRAIN TO LIFT DIRT.
LEATHER & SUEDE ACCESSORIES
CERTAIN LEATHER ACCESSORIES CAN BE "DRY CLEANED" BY SPECIALISTS, BUT TRADITIONAL DRY CLEANING IS NOT RECOMMENDED; INSTEAD, SEEK OUT LUXURY DRY CLEANERS WITH EXPERTISE IN LEATHER WHO USE SPECIALIZED, GENTLE METHODS. WHILE FINISHED, TANNED LEATHERS ARE MORE RESISTANT TO WATER AND SUITABLE FOR THIS CARE, RAW OR UNTREATED LEATHERS, AND DELICATE MATERIALS LIKE SUEDE, REQUIRE EVEN MORE SPECIALIZED ATTENTION TO AVOID DAMAGE. ALWAYS CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL LEATHER CLEANING SERVICE FOR THE BEST RESULTS AND TO ENSURE YOUR ITEM'S QUALITY IS PRESERVED.
LEATHER & SUEDE APPAREL
SPECIALIZED DRY CLEANING IS REQUIRED FOR LEATHER AND SUEDE, AS STANDARD WASHING CAN LEAD TO DAMAGE SUCH AS SHRINKAGE OR WATER STAINS [0]. SUEDE IS PHYSICALLY CLEANED WITH BRUSHES AND ERASERS TO MAINTAIN ITS NAP, WHILE LEATHER USES SOLVENT-BASED METHODS TO CLEAN WITHOUT DRYING OUT ITS NATURAL OILS [0]. FOR MORE EXPENSIVE ITEMS, A SPECIALIST CLEANER UTILIZING SPECIFIC SOLVENTS AND GENTLE TECHNIQUES IS RECOMMENDED TO PRESERVE THE MATERIAL'S BEAUTY, SOFTNESS, AND NATURAL OILS.
