Suede and Leather Garments

Before you purchase a leather or suede garment, here are some cleaning considerations you should know about:

• Certain areas of the animal skin are tender and those areas may become chafed in cleaning.
• Heat and moisture can cause skins to become tender, brittle or stiff.
• Badly faded skins may show fade even after they have been professionally dyed.
• Dyes may be removed by cleaning and spotting, particularly on heavily stained garments.
• Unevenly matched color in skins is common in suede and leather garments. This difference in color may become accentuated in cleaning.
• Heavily soiled linings may not clean satisfactorily. Linings are made from cloth and their wear factor is different from hide.
• It is not possible to remove all stains from suede or leather.
   

Liberty Cleaners contracts with a reputable suede and leather cleaning firm. Everyone handling your suede or leather garment uses extreme care in its servicing. Cleaning a suede or leather coat may range in price from approximately $40 to $60. Before cleaning, the customer should evaluate whether or not he/she feels that the value and age of the coat are worth the cost of cleaning.
