In leather lounges cleaning and leather couch cleaning, there is the need to first of all identify the type of leather that your couch is using. There are varying kinds of leather that are used in making the couch and other kinds of furniture. This would go a long way to determine the products for cleaning you have to use. Most household leather is corrected grain protected leather. Use an appropriate commercially available leather cleaner or call Devine LeatherCare to purchase some of our chemical free cleaner which we use commercially. When applying the cleaner do not saturate the leather, use a soft cloth or sponge and do not rub harshly as you risk removing the top coat from the leather. If the dirt or stain is persistent call us. Dry the leather with a towel or cloth before applying conditioner.

If you have analine leather including nubuck or suede you need to be more careful in the cleaning process as the leather absorbs moisture very quickly. Use a commercially available cleaner and follow the instructions. Do not allow the leather to become saturated as it may leave water stains. It is important to note that the nubuck and the suede are the most difficult to maintain because they are able to absorb grease, dirt and water very easily.

Devine LeatherCare specialises in nubuck and we often use a dry (non moisture) cleaning process. Using our recolouring process we are generally able to achieve great colour restoration on nubuck.

When you have finished cleaning leather couch and leather lounge you should conditioner it. The conditioners replenish the natural oils to protect the leather and help prevent dirt getting into the grain or pores and staining.

Note: Beware non specialist leather cleaners who use chemicals or pressure machinery on your leather – you won’t be the first person to call us to restore the colour or suppleness of your leather removed by those.
