Every six months
The lounge everyone actually sits on, especially with pets or kids. It keeps the head rests from going dark and sticky.
Leather cleaning in Brisbane is not only about dirt. Many lounges here suffer because they dry out: air conditioning runs for months, and sunscreen and body oil soak into the head rests.
So every job is a clean and a conditioning, not one without the other. We test the finish first and we never steam leather. A three seater is $250 including GST, with a photo report when we finish.
Leather lounges, recliners, dining chairs, ottomans, bed heads and office chairs. Pigmented, aniline and semi aniline hides.
Every job starts the same way. We work out what finish is on the hide and test it on a panel nobody sees, because a cleaner that is fine on a protected lounge can strip an aniline one.
Conditioning is in the price. Cleaning alone takes oils out of a hide that is already drying in an air conditioned room, so every job gets fed afterwards.
Fabric lounges are a different job and a different price. See upholstery cleaning in Brisbane.
How much sun and air conditioning the room gets decides this, not how old the lounge is.
The lounge everyone actually sits on, especially with pets or kids. It keeps the head rests from going dark and sticky.
Formal rooms and dining chairs used on weekends. A hide dries out whether anyone sits on it or not.
Stiff to the touch, dull in the light, or fine lines at the seams. Book it then, before the lines turn into cracks.
Offices, waiting rooms and restaurant booths are quoted per piece and done before opening or in the evening.
Four stages. The first one is what stops a lounge being ruined.
Ask any leather cleaner whether conditioning is in the quote. A clean on its own leaves the hide drier than it was when the crew arrived.
Step 01
Seats, recliners, chairs and ottomans. A photo tells us the finish, and that is enough to price it.
Step 02
We confirm when the crew will arrive before the day.
Step 03
The test panel comes first. Cleaning and conditioning happen in the one visit, panel by panel.
Step 04
You get the before and after photos, and our cleaners don't leave until you're happy with the work.
Leather is a hide. It holds oils, and a Brisbane living room spends much of the year taking them back out.
So conditioning is not an upsell here. It is the half of the job that decides whether the lounge stays soft.
Four things you get on every job.
An aniline hide and a protected one look the same across a room and behave nothing alike once a cleaner goes on.
Every job starts on a hidden panel, so if the colour lifts you hear about it there.
Ours is one job at one price: clean, then feed, then buff.
The lounge is left soft rather than squeaky.
Heat and water open the finish, and the damage can show up weeks later as patchiness.
Leather gets a pH balanced solution and hand work.
Cracks, scuffs and worn colour that cleaning cannot fix can be repaired, quoted after we have seen the piece.
Coated or faux leather that is peeling is the exception, and you hear that on the phone or on arrival, before you pay.
Leather is often the most expensive thing in the lounge room.

No, and nobody should. Heat and moisture open the finish on the hide, so leather gets a pH balanced cleaner and hand work instead.
Cleaning alone will not. Conditioning softens a dry hide and slows new cracking, but a crack that has split needs leather repair, which we offer and quote after we see it. Peeling usually means a coated or faux leather, which cannot be brought back.
A few hours, once the conditioner has absorbed and been buffed. We tell you the time on the day.
Not from our work. The test panel exists to catch a hide that is already unstable, and if it lifts on the test you hear about it before we clean the rest.
Yes, surface mildew on leather comes off as part of the clean, and the conditioning follows. If the room itself is affected, see mould cleaning in Brisbane.
Twice a year on a lounge in an air conditioned room, and yearly on one that gets light use. If the hide feels stiff or squeaks when you sit down, it is due now.
Yes. Reception lounges, boardroom chairs and waiting room seating, quoted per piece and done before opening or in the evening.
