About our Suede & Leather service
Leather and suede care begins at home

We contract out our Suede and Leather cleaning service to specialists Excel Ltd, www.xl-uk.com .  Excel has invested heavily in patented Italian technology for the cleaning of natural skin wears. This is the first suede and leather processing plant of its kind in England and employs a totally new technology in cleaning natural skins. As a result it improves quality and reduces traditional adverse affects of cleaning suede and leathers such as running glues. 

Please note that this page is intended only as a guide to leather garments and is in no way a cleaning or care instructions for leather and suede products. No responsibility is taken by CaraClean for any improper use of this guide resulting in garment damage.   

 
Care begins at home

There are many types of leathers used for garments. Some of these are sheepskins, suede, grain leather and chamois leather. A Wide range of leather products ensures that the consumers have a varied choice of inexpensive garments. However unlike other fabric garments, suede and leather products can not be cleaned using standard cleaning methods.

Leather products can not be washed in water or dry cleaned in solvents in the same way as fabrics can and thus a specialist cleaning facility is required. Therefore it is essential that in the event of a garment becoming highly soiled cleaning is not attempted at home. It is important to ensure that if garment become wet then they are allowed to dry naturally. Here is a simple care guide:
- Allow garments to dry naturally
- Avoid storing leathers in damp and humid conditions
- Store garments in breathable bags (for example avoid storage plastic bags)
-If a garment is stained, do not attempt to remove stain yourself. Take garment to a professional leather dry cleaner.

 
Some cleaning problems

Masking materials are used on leather garments during manufacture to hide imperfections in skins such as bite marks. Be prepared for some of this masking to be removed in cleaning process. Furthermore manufactures use skin of different animal for garment make up and in cleaning process this difference can occasionally be accentuated.
Be aware of dry cleaning adhesives which are used during manufacture to glue linings etc. Some of these adhesives dissolve in dry cleaning solvents, seeping through to outer surface to leave dark shaded areas.
