Five leather types. Five different cleaning approaches.
Using the wrong product on the wrong leather doesn't just fail to clean — it strips the finish, causes cracking and voids the manufacturer warranty.
Aniline
Most delicatePure dyed hide with no protective coating. The most natural look and feel.
How we clean it:
Specialist aniline cleaner only. No water. Condition immediately after.
Avoid: Water, multi-surface sprays, any soap
Semi-aniline
BalancedLightly coated — retains natural look but offers mild stain resistance.
How we clean it:
pH-neutral cleaner, light moisture, condition after every clean.
Avoid: Abrasive cloths, undiluted cleaners
Pigmented
BalancedFull polymer coating over the hide. Uniform colour, high resistance.
How we clean it:
pH-balanced cleaner with light agitation. Condition every 6–12 months.
Avoid: Solvents, bleach, steam
Bi-cast
Most delicateSplit leather with a polyurethane layer bonded on top. Common in budget sofas.
How we clean it:
Wipe-clean only with damp cloth. No conditioner — PU layer doesn't absorb it.
Avoid: Conditioners, heavy moisture, any solvent
Bonded
BalancedShredded leather fibres bonded with polyurethane. Lowest durability — peels over time.
How we clean it:
Gentle wipe only. Professional cleaning rarely advised — risk of accelerating peeling.
Avoid: Any liquid cleaner, conditioning products

“Aniline sofa looked completely different after. They explained exactly what products they were using and why. Would not trust anyone else with it now.”
“Had a Furniture Clinic quote for £380 to 'restore' my sofa. SofaCleaner cleaned it for £85 and it looks near perfect. Night and day difference in value.”
“Scotchgard add-on was worth every penny. Cat knocked over a glass of juice two weeks later — wiped straight off with no mark.”
Frequently asked about leather sofa cleaning.
How do I know what type of leather my sofa is?
Check the label under the seat cushion or on the base frame. It usually states the leather type and cleaning code. If there's no label, send us a photo on WhatsApp — we can identify it from the finish, grain and feel.
Does cleaning leather damage it?
Only if done incorrectly. Soap strips the natural oils; over-wetting causes warping; solvent cleaners crack untreated hides. Our specialists use pH-balanced products tested on a hidden area before starting.
Is Scotchgard safe for all leather types?
Scotchgard is safe for pigmented and semi-aniline leather. We don't apply it to aniline leather (too porous — it changes the appearance) or bi-cast and bonded (PU layer doesn't absorb it meaningfully).
Can you clean cracked or peeling leather?
Cracked or peeling leather needs restoration, not cleaning. We'll tell you this honestly on WhatsApp before you book. Cleaning a peeling sofa can accelerate the damage — we won't take the booking if it's not right for you.
How often should I have my leather sofa professionally cleaned?
Once a year for most households. Every 6 months with pets or children. Between professional cleans, a weekly wipe with a dry microfibre cloth and monthly conditioning with a leather-specific product is sufficient.
What's the difference between cleaning and conditioning leather?
Cleaning removes surface dirt, oils and stains. Conditioning replenishes the natural oils that evaporate over time — preventing cracking and keeping the hide supple. Both are included in every booking.
