It’s surprising how much dirt and grime can accumulate on your sofa, loveseat, and chairs without it being immediately obvious. Factors like dead skin cells, oils, dust, and other contaminants gather on your upholstery, and without professional cleaning, they keep building up.
At Nittany EcoDri, our highly skilled professionals employ a cleaning process that uses less water and leaves behind minimal moisture, drastically cutting down drying times and significantly reducing the risk of mold, mildew, and bacteria growth. Your upholstery is sparkling and ready for use in just hours, not days.
Leather Cleaning
Various types of leather require different care processes.
-
Aniline – Also known as natural, pure, naked, or unprotected leather.
-
Protected – Also known as finished semi-aniline, everyday, pigmented, and painted leather.
-
Nubuck – Also known as chaps, distressed, bomber, and suede leather.
Protect Your Investment
Leather, when properly maintained, will last four or five times longer than fabric or man-made fibers. Over time, body oils, perspiration, skin acids, and other soils can work their way into the leather. Many cleaning products currently on the market are not appropriate for leather – and they may break down leather finishes, promoting dryness and cracking.
Nittany EcoDri uses Leathermaster products that are safe and effective for leather and have been endorsed by more than 300 tanneries and manufacturers.
Why Should I Clean & Protect My Leather?
Oils & Grease – Body oils from both humans and animals attach and hold on to leather. Body oils are easily transferred to the head cushions and armrests of the furniture and can cause serious damage to the protective finishes found on leather.
Dyes and Inks – The inks from newspapers and dyes from denim can be transferred onto leather in a process called dye transfer. Additionally, the risk of ink from a leaky pen or the aspiring toddler who loves to draw should not be forgotten.
Atmospheric Soils – Consider the dust that builds up on a coffee table or desk over a week's time. This same dust is being deposited on your leather. Additionally, consider the airborne cooking oils and atmospheric pollution that are present, to some degree, in every home. These elements can wear down leather over time.
Common Soils – These soils include dirt tracked in from outside along with sand and fibers from plants, brought into the home by people and pets.
How Often Should I Clean My Leather?
A regular cleaning schedule, which includes professional cleaning, is recommended twice a year.
Like the batteries in your smoke alarm, the industry standard for maintaining your prize leather furniture is a twice-a-year treatment to preserve the beauty of your investment and keep it looking new.
