Professional leather furniture cleaning at home

Leather ages well when cared for — and poorly when it isn't. Our technicians clean and condition your leather sofas, chairs and headboards right in your home across Montreal and the South Shore, using products matched to your specific finish.

Leather isn't just another surface

Unlike upholstery fabric, leather reacts strongly to the wrong products — some dry it out, others leave permanent rings. Before we touch anything, we identify the leather type (full-grain, corrected, nubuck, bicast) and build the protocol around it.

Our approach combines deep cleaning with post-treatment conditioning to restore suppleness and sheen without altering the original finish. The result is a cleaner, softer surface that's better protected against future incidents.

Who this service fits

Leather sofas and sectionals in high-use rooms; reading or office chairs; leather headboards; homes with children or pets where leather accumulates oils and fingermarks.

Rentals or pre-sale properties where leather condition directly affects perceived value.

Method & precautions

Leather tolerates excess moisture and alkaline products poorly. We use slightly acidic solutions and non-abrasive microfibre cloths to avoid pigment or surface coating damage.

On coated and full-grain leather, results can be dramatic. Bicast leather (synthetic layer bonded to split leather) has real limits — we communicate those before starting.

What to expect after the visit

Noticeably cleaner surface, reduced fingermarks and rings; leather feels softer and more supple after conditioning.

Deep scratches, tears, or peeling coating cannot be repaired by cleaning alone — we flag those during assessment.

FAQ

Questions clients

How do I know if my sofa is real leather or faux leather?

We identify the surface type during the assessment. Real leather and faux leather respond differently to products — that's why this step is always first.

Can ink or pen stains be removed from leather?

Sometimes, depending on depth and age. Ink on pigmented leather often responds well; on untreated aniline leather the risks are higher. We evaluate before proceeding.

How long before we can use the sofa?

Leather typically dries quickly after cleaning. We give you a realistic timeframe after the visit.

Do you treat nubuck or suede?

Nubuck and suede require a dry-cleaning protocol. Ask via the form and we confirm feasibility.
