Leather Cleaning

Professional leather interior cleaning and conditioning

Expert leather cleaning service for your car's interior. Deep cleaning, conditioning, and protection for all leather surfaces to restore softness, color, and natural beauty.

What is Leather Cleaning?

Professional leather cleaning is a specialized service designed to clean, condition, and protect leather seats, door panels, dashboard, and other leather surfaces in your car's interior. Using pH-balanced cleaners and premium leather conditioners, our experts remove dirt, body oils, stains, and grime that accumulate over time while restoring the leather's natural oils and suppleness. The process not only makes your leather look better but also extends its lifespan by preventing cracking, fading, and premature wear. Unlike harsh household cleaners that can damage leather, our professional products are specifically formulated to safely clean and nourish automotive leather.

  • After winter or summer to remove salt residue, sweat, and seasonal damage

Frequently Asked Questions

For optimal leather maintenance, we recommend professional cleaning and conditioning every 3 to 6 months, depending on usage and exposure. If you use your car daily, have children or pets, or live in a hot climate with intense UV exposure, quarterly cleaning (every 3 months) is ideal to prevent accelerated wear and fading. For cars driven less frequently or primarily by adults in moderate climates, cleaning every 6 months is usually sufficient. However, you should also perform light cleaning at home monthly using a slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove surface dust and dirt. Signs that your leather needs professional attention include visible dirt accumulation, loss of natural sheen, stiffness or dryness to the touch, or any cracking or color fading. Regular maintenance is far more cost-effective than repairing or replacing damaged leather seats, which can cost thousands of dollars.
Leather cleaning and conditioning can significantly improve the appearance of minor surface scratches and prevent new cracks from forming, but it cannot completely remove deep scratches or repair existing cracks. Light scratches and scuff marks can often be minimized or made nearly invisible through cleaning, conditioning, and buffing, as the conditioner fills in the scratches and restores the leather's natural oils. For existing cracks, while cleaning won't repair them, it will stop them from worsening by restoring moisture to the leather. Deep scratches, cuts, tears, and significant cracks require specialized leather repair services, which may involve filling, color matching, and professional restoration techniques. The best approach is preventive maintenance—regular cleaning and conditioning keeps leather supple and flexible, significantly reducing the likelihood of cracks and scratches developing in the first place.
Professional leather cleaning is safe for most automotive leather types when performed by trained specialists using appropriate products and techniques. However, different leather finishes require different approaches. Most modern car leather has a protective topcoat (finished leather) and can be safely cleaned with standard pH-balanced leather cleaners. Some luxury vehicles feature aniline or semi-aniline leather, which is more natural, breathable, and delicate, requiring gentler, specialized products. Our technicians are trained to identify your leather type and select the appropriate cleaning method. We always perform a test in an inconspicuous area before proceeding with full cleaning. Exotic leathers like Nappa or vintage uncoated leather require extra care. We also adjust our process for perforated leather (common in heated/ventilated seats) to avoid liquid penetration into the perforations. DIY cleaning with household products is risky because many contain harsh chemicals, oils, or silicones that can damage or discolor leather over time.
No, proper professional leather conditioning should not make your seats slippery. Quality automotive leather conditioners are specifically formulated to absorb into the leather rather than leave a greasy surface residue. The slippery feeling that some people experience is usually caused by over-application of conditioner or using the wrong type of product (such as furniture leather conditioner or products with excessive silicone). Our professional process involves applying the right amount of conditioner, allowing proper absorption time, and thoroughly buffing away any excess product. The result is leather that feels soft, supple, and natural to the touch—not slick or greasy. In fact, well-conditioned leather actually provides better grip than dried-out leather because it maintains its natural texture and flexibility. If you've experienced slippery seats in the past from DIY conditioning, it's likely due to product buildup, which our cleaning process can remove before applying the correct amount of professional-grade conditioner.
Professional leather cleaning for a typical sedan with full leather interior takes approximately 2 to 3 hours, depending on the vehicle size and leather condition. The process cannot be rushed because proper cleaning requires time for products to work effectively and for conditioning to absorb properly. For heavily soiled or neglected leather that hasn't been professionally cleaned in years, we may need 3 to 4 hours to achieve optimal results. The timeline breaks down approximately as follows: initial assessment and vacuuming (20-30 minutes), deep cleaning application and agitation (30-45 minutes per section), conditioning application and absorption time (30-45 minutes), and protection application and final buffing (30-45 minutes). Larger vehicles like SUVs, vans, or vehicles with third-row seating require additional time. While you wait, you're welcome to relax in our comfortable waiting area, or we can notify you when your vehicle is ready if you prefer to run errands. The investment in time is worthwhile—properly cleaned and conditioned leather can look and feel like new.
