Leather cleaning + conditioning.
PH-balanced cleaner removes dirt and body oils without stripping the finish. Followed by conditioning to restore suppleness and prevent cracking. Works on aniline, semi-aniline, and pigmented leathers.
Two steps, not one
Cleaning removes dirt, oils, and everyday grime from the surface. Conditioning replaces the natural oils that time and cleaning remove. Skip conditioning and the leather dries out, cracks, and loses value. We always do both — it’s not a separate upsell, it’s what makes leather cleaning actually a maintenance service instead of a decline-in-slower-motion.
Leather type matters
Pigmented leather (most modern sofas) has a protective finish and tolerates a wider range of cleaners. Aniline leather (softer, more natural feel) has no protective coating and requires gentler treatment. Semi-aniline sits between. We identify the type before we start.
What we can’t fix
Deep scratches, tears, cigarette burns, permanent dye transfer from clothing, sun-fading. These need leather restoration or reupholstery, not cleaning. We’ll flag them during walk-through and refer you to a restorer if you want to pursue it.
Flat-rate, no surprises.

DIY vs. alternative vs. Connor’s.
Leather care mistakes are cumulative. Wrong products dry out and crack pieces over time. Here’s the right approach.
| DIY / home product | Store-bought leather wipes | Connor’s Cleaning | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cleaner formulation | Alcohol-based — strips finish | Silicone — attracts dust long-term | pH-balanced, oil-based conditioning |
| Leather type awareness | One product for all | One product for all | Aniline / semi-aniline / pigmented — different processes |
| Ink or stain removal | No | Depends | Fresh marks usually yes |
| Cracking prevention | Accelerates drying | Silicone coats but doesn’t nourish | Conditioning restores natural oils |
| Long-term value | Ruins piece over time | Short-term shine, long-term damage | Preserves value for years |

What clients ask.
How often should leather be professionally cleaned?
Every 12–18 months for most homes. Every 6 months for daily-use pieces in sunlit rooms — sun accelerates drying and cracking, and conditioning helps preserve the material.
Can you remove ink or pen marks?
Sometimes — depends on the leather type and how long it’s been there. Fresh marks on pigmented leather usually come out. Deep-set or on aniline leather is harder. We’ll test and be honest.
Is your conditioner safe for pets?
Yes. Non-toxic and pet-safe after normal dry time. We use a conditioner that’s food-grade oil-based, not silicone (silicone conditioners give a nice shine but attract dust and dry out the leather over time).
