How Leather Should Be Cleaned
![Construction News Image](https://www.construction.co.uk/newsimages/1_269426_Leather-cleaned.jpg)
As of late 2019, ProLux Cleaning has perfected how leather should be treated and cleaned. Each and every one of our mobilized technicians is now equipped with special leather cleaning machines and cleaning solutions!
What's the process?
First, of course, your leather items will be hoovered to make sure no dust or other particles stay onto the leather once the actual cleaning begins. To be able to clean the leather more deeply, a small and portable steam machine can be used by the recommendation of the technician in order to open up the leather's pores. Once that is done, the technician will have a choice – to clean the items by hand or with a leather brush machine. The machine is used mostly when some stains are just too stubborn to come out from the traditional hand cleaning method. Most of the time however, cleaning it by hand does get us the perfect results that we're aiming for. In addition to the ProChem cleaning products that we use, we recently discovered a new special leather cleaning solution which helps us achieve even better results! It replaces any unwanted smells with that traditional leather scent and is completely harmless and eco-friendly!
Restoring the leather back to life
Two types off conditioners will be applied by our technician – crème and oil. They will prolong the leather's life and restore the item's original look. Overall, the leather will be left more durable, shiny and elastic! Why waste a ton of a money on a new sofa, when there's way more affordable options at hand – get in touch with us and get your free quote now at 02033 186 387!
