Leather sofa cleaning and care

Leather is not cleaned like fabric

Leather does not tolerate soaking or prolonged steam: too much water makes it swell, stiffen and crack. A leather sofa is cleaned with dedicated products, very little moisture and a lot of care.

Our steps

We dust every surface and fold, apply a gentle leather cleaner worked into the grain with a soft brush — especially on armrests, the top of the backrest and seats — then clean the seams. Once dry, we apply a nourishing cream that restores suppleness and protects against drying out.

Smooth leather, nubuck, faux leather

Full-grain and corrected-grain leather respond very well to this treatment. Nubuck and suede need a different technique, without greasy cream. Faux leather can be cleaned too, but is not conditioned the same way. We identify the material first.

What cleaning does not repair

Cleaning restores shine and suppleness, but does not fix tears, re-colour sun-faded leather or erase deep cracks. If your sofa needs restoration, we will tell you honestly and suggest a specialist.
