cleaning & protecting

Leather is a durable and flexible material created by animal rawhide and the natural fibers of leather break down with the passage of time. In Hawaii, the high temperatures and humidity accelerate this breakdown process as people tend to sweat more, releasing damaging body oils into the leather. Maintaining a cleaning and conditioning program is of utmost importance in preserving the life of your leather products. 

Skin cosmetic companies spend untold amounts of money and research each year into the manufacturing of high quality moisturizers. Without these products, our skin eventually dries out and cracks. As natural leather is the 'skin or hide' of the animal it came from, it too needs protection.

Effects of dirty and oily leather

• Top coat seal break down

• Colour loss

• Crazing or cracking in leather

• Holes and tears appear

• Panel replacement or new furniture

INVEST IN YOUR LEATHER

People spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on their leather furnishings. Unfortunately, cleaning and conditioning the item comes as an after thought and is put at the end of the 'to do list.' Leather products need maintenance from anywhere between 1-4 times per year depending on use and local climate conditions. Leather Pro Hawaii specializes in cleaning programs to help you stay on top of your investment. We recommend you have us visit once a year for a deep clean and in between you can maintain your leather with one of our home cleaning and conditioning kits.
