Leather Cleaning and Protection

Exceptional Leather Services

The Clean Team has over 40 years of experience in providing the best cleaning and protection for your leather. There is a lot of confusion over some very basic information that is needed to clean, condition, and restore leather; that is, what type of leather is it? We can clean and protect the following leather:

• Aniline leather: Also known as natural, pure, naked, and unprotected These are leathers that are colored with transparent dyestuff. This means you are able to see the actual surface grain markings. These leathers have very little or no protective treatments applied to them. This leather is easily soiled.
• Protected leather: Also known as finished, semi-aniline, everyday, pigmented, and painted. These leathers have combined the best aspects of a natural product (leather) and have utilized tannery technology to create a product that is more uniform in appearance and color. This type of leather when properly and regularly maintained will resist soiling for years.
• Nubuck: Also known as chaps, distressed, bomber, and suede. These are actually aniline leathers where the surface has been brushed and has created a texture similar to velvet on leather upholstery or fabric. Suede is the “flesh” side of a piece of leather and nubuck is an effect that is done to the grain side. Because nubucks and aniline leathers are alike, it’s sometimes hard to tell them apart. This leather is mostly for comfort but soils easily and is difficult to clean.
