Caring for Your Leather and Suede Garments

What You Should Know About Leather Cleaning

The Leather Apparel Association recommends professional leather cleaning for all leathers, as well as fabric garments trimmed with leather or suede. The LAA also advises consumers to clean matching garments at the same time, since a slight variation in color or texture may occur as a natural result of the cleaning process.

As your professional dry cleaner, we work with a specialized suede and leather cleaner to satisfy our customers. After inspecting each garment thoroughly before cleaning, they pre-treat any soiled areas or special stains.

Their skilled staff treats colors and dyes very carefully, spraying areas with special solvents to keep your suede and leather garments looking bright and fresh. If you care for your suede and leather garments using the tips on this page, we can help you keep them looking fresh and beautiful for many years.

Here Are a Few Tips on Caring for Your
Leather Garments

Always hang leather garments on wide or padded hangers to maintain their shape
Never store leather goods in plastic or other non-breathable covers. This will cause leather to become dry
Allow wet or damp leather to air-dry naturally away from any heat source
In winter seasons, promptly remove salt deposits from garments by having the garment professionally cleaned
Avoid storing in very humid and dry environments, as well as direct sunlight
Do not use waxes, silicone products, or other leather preparations that impair a garment's ability to breathe
Avoid spraying perfumes or hair sprays while wearing your garment and do not apply pins, adhesive badges, or tape. Wearing a scarf at the neckline will help keep hair and body oil away from the collar
Hems may be fixed with a tiny amount of rubber cement by a leather care professional
All products used at home should be tested on an inconspicuous part of the garment
