LEATHER CARE, REPAIR AND RE-DYEING
When it comes to leather (or suede
especially), any type of spot, spill or discoloration is extremely
difficult to remove or even reduce in intensity. The type of leather, the way it
has been tanned, finished and dyed, all affect its care and ability
to be cleaned.
Generally speaking, oil is the worst of the
culprits as far as difficulty, followed by liquid and water stains
and then paint. Oils,
even when stripped out and then dyed over are often capable of
coming back to the surface in a year or two (hair oil is the
biggest problem in this area).
We have specific chemicals, tools, supplies
and procedures to deal with every type of problem with leather and
our best technique is to have you bring the worst cushion to our
plant first for testing (some cushions are attached so other steps
have to be taken).
Just like with area rugs, we always consider
costs versus value when something involved is apparent.
