Quick answer

There's no flat rate for leather cleaning. Leather type, condition and scope of care are too different for a fixed price list. After a photo of your leather furniture you'll receive a non-binding, individual estimate — before the appointment, with no surprises.

Leather sofa cleaning and care

A leather sofa is exposed daily to skin oils, dust, clothing, sometimes pets and changing soiling. Over time this leads to shiny patches, changes in sheen, stains or a surface that feels drier.

For professional leather sofa cleaning, we first assess the leather type and the condition of the surface. We then choose the right cleaning and care — depending on the leather, soiling is dissolved and the surface refreshed. Especially with high-quality leather sofas, it's important not to use unsuitable household cleaners or too much moisture — the same applies to leather couches, armchairs and chairs.

What does professional leather cleaning cost in Switzerland?

We can't seriously quote a general price per square metre or per piece for leather. The effort depends on the leather type, size, soiling, condition and desired scope of care (cleaning only, or additional suitable leather care/aftercare). After a photo, you'll receive a non-binding estimate before the appointment is booked.

What leather types are there and how are they cleaned?

Not all leather is the same — the right treatment depends on the specific leather type and its surface. We determine the exact type on site; the overview below is for orientation, not a fixed cleaning protocol.

Aniline leather

Dyed all the way through, natural leather without a protective coating. The surface is particularly sensitive to moisture, stains and friction. Cleaning and care must therefore be especially gentle and tailored to the specific leather.

Semi-aniline leather

Aniline leather with a very thin pigment layer on the surface — the grain and pores remain clearly visible. More robust than pure aniline leather, but still more sensitive than pigmented smooth leather; the right treatment depends on the specific finish.

Pigmented leather (smooth leather with a coating)

After tanning and dyeing, a covering colour/pigment layer is applied that hides small flaws in the leather surface. This coating generally makes the surface more resistant to everyday soiling than open-pored leather types. The suitable cleaning method still depends on the specific finish and condition.

Nubuck leather

Leather buffed on the grain side to a velvety surface. Sensitive to stains and moisture; the right treatment depends heavily on the individual case.

Suede (split leather)

The rough flesh side faces outward. Similarly sensitive to nubuck — here too, the method depends on condition and material.

Faux leather (PU/PVC)

Not genuine leather, but a plastic coating on a textile base. Less sensitive than real leather; mild cleaning agent and refresh, without wet extraction; UV light makes the coating brittle over time.

Leather cleaning vs. leather care — what's the difference?

Leather cleaning removes dirt, skin oils and stains from the surface. Leather care covers a suitable treatment or aftercare depending on the leather type and condition. It can help keep the surface supple and protect the leather from drying out. Whether additional care makes sense after cleaning depends on the leather type and condition — that's why we tailor the aftercare individually to each leather.

Which stains and soiling can we treat on leather?

Skin oils, body oils
Drinks, coffee, food stains
Grease stains
Ink, ballpoint pen
Colour transfer from clothing (e.g. dark jeans)
Dirt, dust, pet hair
Mild odours
General signs of wear, shiny patches

Not every stain can be completely removed. The result depends, among other things, on the leather type, the age of the stain, how deep it has penetrated, and the condition of the surface.

Clean a leather sofa yourself or hire a professional?

Many people reach for household cleaners, wet wipes or all-purpose leather care from the supermarket at the first stain. The risk: an unsuitable product or too much moisture can change the surface, fix the stain instead of removing it, or affect the colour — and that can't always be undone afterwards. That's why every professional treatment starts with the question of which leather it actually is: aniline, semi-aniline, pigmented or faux leather all need different products and methods. If you're unsure, send us a photo first instead of experimenting yourself.

What leather cleaning can't do

A cleaning can refresh soiled leather and reduce existing soiling. However, it does not replace professional leather repair or restoration. With already cracked leather, significant colour loss, damaged coatings or deeply set discolouration, cleaning alone cannot fully resolve the issue. In such cases, we assess beforehand what can realistically be improved.

Frequently asked questions about leather cleaning

What does professional leather cleaning cost in Switzerland?

There's no flat rate: leather type, condition, size and scope of care strongly affect the cost. After a photo assessment we provide a non-binding estimate.

How often should leather be cared for?

As a rough guide, every 6–12 months, depending on use and leather type — aniline leather can need more frequent care than pigmented leather, depending on use and condition.

Can cracks in leather be repaired?

Small, early cracks can often be slowed down or visually softened with regular, suitable care. Already torn leather needs a leather repair, not a cleaning — we say so honestly before the appointment.

Do you clean leather with wet methods?

Leather is cleaned using different methods than textile upholstery. Classic wet extraction, as used for many fabric covers, is not suitable for most leather surfaces.

Which household remedies should be avoided on leather stains?

Alcohol, soapy water and aggressive all-purpose cleaners can damage the surface or fix stains instead of removing them.

Do you also clean faux leather?

Yes, with a mild cleaning agent and refresh, also without wet extraction.

Do you also offer this for commercial clients?

Yes, e.g. leather office chairs, reception furniture or waiting areas in practices.

Can ballpoint pen stains be removed from leather?

Ballpoint pen stains can be treated depending on the leather type, surface and age of the stain. Complete removal isn't always possible. On sensitive leather, don't experiment yourself with alcohol or aggressive cleaners — it's best to send a photo first.

Can a shiny, worn leather sofa be cleaned?

Yes. Shiny, worn patches often result from skin oils, body contact and everyday use. Whether and how much the surface can be refreshed depends on the leather type, the coating and the condition.

Der Teppichboden im Büro war nach ein paar Jahren ziemlich grau und müde geworden. Nach der Reinigung wirkt der ganze Raum gleich heller. Preis war fair und ohne Überraschungen.

We run a small restaurant and the chairs take a real beating every day. Had the whole set done and they actually look presentable again. We'll be booking the gastro chair cleaning on a regular basis from now on.

Alle Bürostühle reinigen lassen. Was uns wichtig war: der Termin liess sich flexibel legen, sogar nach Feierabend, sodass der Betrieb nicht gestört wurde. Die Stühle sehen jetzt aus wie neu. Top.
