How to Care for Suede, Leather & Fur Garments

Leather, suede, and fur garments require specialised care beyond standard dry cleaning.
It is essential to treat these materials with the right products and techniques to prevent damage and maintain their aesthetic appeal.
Regular maintenance, such as brushing and proper storage, can significantly extend the life of these materials.
This includes avoiding exposure to moisture and heat, which can alter the texture and shape of the garments.
At London Dry Cleaning Company, our expert technicians use professional techniques and natural treatments to restore and preserve the quality of your luxury garments—whether they’re a leather jacket, suede boots, fur coat, or handbag.

Our Expert Cleaning Process

Our process is designed to clean, nourish, and restore without compromising the integrity of the material:

  • Gentle Dirt & Stain Removal: We carefully remove stains and dirt without harsh chemicals, preserving the texture and colour.

  • Natural Reconditioning: We replenish lost oils, tannins, and conditioners to keep the material soft, supple, and resilient.

  • Colour & Finish Restoration: Garments may fade or lose their lustre over time.
    Our skilled team is equipped with advanced tools to carefully restore the original hue and sheen that may have been lost over time.
    Our colour restoration techniques utilise non-toxic dyes that are safe for both the environment and your garments.
    This ensures that any alterations made are both effective and enhance the garment’s natural features.
    We can professionally restore the original colour and gloss, giving your items a refreshed, like-new appearance.

  • Specialised Pressing: Once cleaned and restored, your garments are finished using equipment specifically designed for leather and suede, ensuring a polished and professional result.

  • Final Inspection: Before return, every item is carefully checked to ensure the highest standards of quality and consistency are met.

Why Proper Care Matters

Leather, suede, and fur cannot be cleaned using conventional dry or at-home methods.
Failing to adhere to recommended cleaning protocols can lead to irrevocable changes in their structure and finish.
Using incorrect cleaning techniques can lead to irreversible damage, which often results in costly replacements.
Proper care not only preserves the look of these items but also significantly extends their lifespan, allowing for continued enjoyment.
Harsh detergents and improper handling will:

  • Strip away natural oils and conditioners

  • Causes cracking, hardening, or permanent damage

  • Diminish the softness, colour, and natural texture

These materials require expert attention and tailored methods to maintain their original beauty and durability.
