We inspect your leather and suede garments at the counter, and note all stains, marks, missing and broken buttons. We send your “skins” to a trusted specialist for cleaning and alterations.
Stain Emergencies – What you can do
Spills on leather and suede require different care than cotton and wool. While it’s best to blot most stains – and to never rub – you do have a few options. If your leather is a bit shiny and automatically “repels” liquid spills, then you can use a damp sponge to gently wipe it off. However, if your leather is butter soft and seems to absorb every little stain, you should not attempt stain removal. It will most likely require professional care, as soon as possible. Suede is a bit trickier. Some smudges can often be improved with a clean eraser (but should always be tested in a hidden area). Oily-type stains from buttered popcorn, gravy, and lotions will need attention by the stain-removal technicians. |
