Leather Repairs & Restoration

Hints & Tips

 

• Clean your leather regularly - every 2 months is the optimum. Even better, protect it too, this is made very simple by using our Lazy Leather™ system.
   

• Keep it away from sunlight if possible as this will damage it and fade the colour.
   

• Try and rotate the seats to even out the wear rate.
   

• Don't let people with hair gel rest their head on it constantly. The chemical in the product will eventually damage the surface, and also grease will start to penetrate the entire thickness of the leather.
   

• Don't eat food on the leather.
   

• Don't wear jeans as the dye is quite unstable and will wear into the leather itself and then you'll have a dye transfer issue. The same rule applies to any bright clothing - in particular red shirts etc.
   

• Don't use baby wipes to clean your leather. The chemical in them will slowly break the coating down and ruin the finish.
   

• Never use detergent or cream kitchen cleaners when you get a stain or an ink mark. This will quite quickly ruin the finish causing damage. The same goes for any solvents i.e. if you get a nail varnish spill.
