AfterCare
Here are Leather Restoration we find that over 95% of the repairs we undertake is a result of how the item is being maintained, over the last five years the condition of the leather we are getting asked to repair is getting worse and worse. Leather is a product that needs to be cared and maintained for to keeps its longevity.
Leather being a natural product just like our skin needs to be cleaned on a regular basis, the cause of widespread colour loss, body perspiration damage are all results of lack of cleaning maintenance.
It is recommended that leather is cleaned and protected every change of season, four times a year, most customers we visit are not doing this in there leathers lifetime, then wondering why they have the damage to there furniture,

Once repairs have been undertaken the technician will advise how to care and maintain your repairs and restoration moving forward, it is imperative that you maintain the repaired areas for the longevity of the repairs. We offer a workmanship warranty on our repairs but do not offer a warranty on customer damage or wear and tear.
When the repairs have been completed the technician will advise to allow 72 hours for the repairs to be fully cured, this is to allow the repairs to cure naturally. It is imperative you look after and maintain the repairs the dyes and fillers will continue to cure over time, under no circumstances should the areas be cleaned with any cleaning products for a minimum of three months, after the three month period you should apply a leather protection cream, any type of cleaning before this time may result in the dye being removed.
Cleaning
Leather should be cleaned and protected every three months, this will help keep the leather clean soft and supple, applying a protection cream will allow a protective barrier between you and the leather, if you live in a busy household you should look to increase this process.
