Why You Should Always Turn To A Professional For Leather Upholstery Cleaning

Posted on 2nd December 2020

For many homeowners, when choosing a material for their new sofas, leather or faux leather will always be their first choice. There are a number of benefits to opting for this material and one of the most commonly noted, especially by parents, is that it is easier to clean than the vast majority of alternatives. Thankfully, a spilt drink or a leaking pen won’t mean that you have to purchase decorative cushions and throws to cover a stain. 

 

Whilst there really is no denying that quality leather is incredibly durable, it is highly recommended that when your sofa needs a proper clean, you turn to an experienced professional. A leather upholstery cleaning service really is incomparable to a DIY cleaning job and even though you may see it as an additional expense, we can assure you that it will always be a worthwhile expense. If you’re wondering whether to use a leather cleaning service, below is a list of reasons why you should always turn to a professional. 

 

Ensure further damage isn’t caused to your sofa

 

This is undeniably the most important reason why you should turn to a professional when needing your leather sofa cleaned. Not only will you find that most DIY solutions don’t work on stubborn stains, but it isn’t hard to make a small easily removable stain much worse either. By using a leather upholstery cleaning service, you will prevent any further damage being caused. 

 

Extend the sofa’s lifespan

 

Lots of homeowners don’t know that furniture manufacturers and retailers actually recommend that you invest in professional upholstery cleaning on a regular basis. Having your sofa cleaned every 18 to 24 months will make it last longer and help to prevent the need for repairs and restoration work. So, professional cleaning can actually be looked at as an investment. 

 

More affordable than people assume 

 

Many will agree that they don’t consider a leather upholstery cleaning service because they assume that it will be really expensive, but this isn’t the case. Whilst prices will differ depending on the type of leather and the size of your sofa, they tend to be more affordable than people think. For example, a full-size leather sofa may only cost as little as £150.

 

Prevent incorrect products and techniques being used 

 

Even though your leather sofa is able to withstand a lot of what’s thrown at it, unfortunately, it won’t react well to all liquids and cleaning solutions. Even is a product is specifically advertised as a ‘leather cleaner’ it might not be right for your sofa and this is one of the main reasons why 

cleaning upholstery is always best left to professionals. You can trust that they will always use the correct products and techniques for your sofa and any stains it has. 

 

Ensures the sofa is actually clean

 

Of course, cleaning your sofa will improve its appearance and get rid of any dust, dirt and grime, but this isn’t the only reason why you should regularly use leather upholstery cleaning services. A professional clean can discourage the growth of bacteria and germs, and even prevent the collection of allergens, which is particularly common in fabrics like leather, too. 

 

Prevents cracks and hides scarring or blemishes too

 

People usually don’t realise that leather can lose its flexibility and start to crack if it isn’t cared for properly. For this reason, leather conditioning is just as important as leather cleaning and a professional service will provide you with both. You can also benefit from a full finish whereby the leather is buffed to hide scarring or blemishes as well. 

 

Using a leather upholstery cleaning service 

 

It is fair to say that if your leather sofa needs to be cleaned, you should always turn to an experienced professional instead of purchasing DIY leather cleaning products. As mentioned above, leather upholstery cleaning services are actually really affordable these days, so there is no reason why you shouldn’t get some help with the cleaning process. You can guarantee that you will be more than satisfied with the outcome of a professional clean.
