Leather Cleaning
Preserve the Value of Your Investment:

Plaza carpet and upholstery cleaning, offers the professional services in Leather Furniture cleaning and maintenance. Over time, body oils, perspiration, skin acids and other soils can work their way into the leather. Many cleaning products currently on the market are not appropriate for leather, and may break down leather finishes, leading to dryness and cracking. We use Chemspec Leather products that are safe and effective for your leather furniture. With regular cleaning by a Plaza Certified Leather Specialist, you can prevent undue wear and keep your leather furniture looking great!

Causes of Leather Deterioration

  1. Oils and Grease — Body oils from both humans and animals attach and hold onto leather. Hair and hand oils are easily transferred to the head cushions and arm rests of the furniture and can cause serious damage to the protective finishes found on leather.

  2. Airborne Soil & Dust — 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.

  3. Dirt & Soil — 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.

  4. 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 the life of your furniture you are bound to experience some of the common problems associated with all leather furniture. Our Certified Technicians are trained to address these problems. Plaza has stock pigment colors similar to the ones used in the tanning process to repair the inevitable scrape or scratch on protected leathers. We can also revitalize color on sensitive aniline leathers.

How Often Do I Clean My Leather
A regular cleaning schedule including professional cleaning a minimum of two times a year is recommended. In between professional cleanings you can maintain the health and beauty of your leather furniture by cleaning with a Chemspec’s Soft Cleaner and Protection Cream for rejuvenating the protection. Both products are available from Plaza in a Chemspec Leather Care Kit.
