Has anyine had their leather sofa professionally cleaned?

[jane313]

I am tired of buying cleaning products that don't work and I wondered if you could get them professionally done.

Have so far tried ikea leather cleaner, then one in lakeland with the pen remover, those white magic earaer block, leather wipes, another foamcleaner from diy shop that I can't remember the name of and saddle soap.

gosh no one?

I'll try one more time!

Hi Jane, we had our cream leather suite profesonally cleaned a while ago.

Would definitely recommend... got rid all ingrained dullness that cream suites can get and mad eit look good as new. He must have used quite a powerful cleaning agent on it as whatever I use never gets it looking that good!

He also touched up any scratches or worn corners with a special paint, and then waxed the whole suite so it was all gorgeous again! :o

how much if you don't mind me asking Calista?

thanks, that sounds great, was it expensive? Where did you get the cleaner from? I've seen some on the net (I'm in west London) for about £60

It was abut £70-£80 for the cleaning. Having all the scratches (we had two kittens who, in the early days, loved to exercise their claws on the suite!)and the worn corners where it gets brushed past/the vac hits fixed up with the leather paint added on about another £30-£40.

All in all it cost around £110-ish, which seems a lot, but it really did look as good as new, and it took him about 5 hours to do the 3 seater, chair and pouffe-type thingy (what are they called!)

Jane, I'm in Lancs, and I got the name of the company through the yellow pages.
Plenty of MN'ers are from London so others may be able to recommend a good one if you bump the thread later on when it gets busier. HTH :)

brilo pads cleaned our cream leather up a treat last week.
