Upholstery & Leather Cleaning

Microscopic Cocktail Couch Killer:
So you own a leather couch... cost a fortune did it? So when's the last time you gave it a thorough wipe over, let alone have it professionally cleaned and conditioned? Never - did you say?

Well, you're not alone.

Many people who go to extraordinary expense to purchase a beautiful leather suite frequently abuse it - but not intentionally. Our theory is that the exuberant sales person who sold it to you failed to explain the cleaning fine-print in fear of scaring away the sale.


The fact is - leather is high maintenance.

Certainly, a leather lounge will last a lifetime but only if you care for it.

At the very least you should wipe over the surface of your leather furniture every month. Using a damp cloth wipe away the grime, dust, sweat, salt and mould that makes a microscopic cocktail capable of irreversibly damaging your leather furniture.

Then every three months apply leather conditioner and finally, ensure that each year you have your leather professionally cleaned.

If you follow these three simple rules your precious leather furniture is likely to live longer than you do.

When we professionally clean and condition your leather furniture, we are pleased to offer a leather Master" kit, which includes conditioner and an ink-away spot cleaner for a heavily discounted price - see our "Today's Information" page. It's a small price to pay for keeping your leather furniture clean and safe.

For professional leather cleaning call us today.


Be Prepared to Be Surprised!
When we steam clean your upholstery we pride ourselves in leaving it only lightly moist - so winter or summer there's minimum inconvenience and time delays.

When cleaned, you may be surprised at the "newness" of the fabric. Fabric discolours slowly over time and wear so you don't notice the deterioration - but when cleaned we often have clients expressing delight and surprise at the change in the appearance of their furniture!

Stains on Upholstery:
Your upholstery is a sitting duck when it comes to spills and stains. If you do have a spill you'll need to act fast so these quick-fix remedies will help to minimise the damage until we can arrive to professionally clean it.

For stains on your lounge there is only one thing to do: 'Blot-dilute-blot' until the stain is removed. Use water only.

Blot using a white towel. Coloured towels or rags can transfer their colours to the upholstery and make the stain worse!

Keep stain lightly damp until professional help arrives!
