UPHOLSTERY CLEANING COURSE
#8 Leather Upholstery Cleaning
Learn how to professionally clean and maintain leather upholstery by understanding the structure of leather, the different finishes used in modern furniture, and the correct methods required to clean each type safely and effectively.
By enrolling in Nation Training’s Leather Upholstery Cleaning course, you’ll discover what leather really is, how it is produced, and why its natural properties require specialised cleaning techniques. You’ll learn how different hides, textures, and finishes affect cleaning outcomes, and why choosing the wrong method can lead to permanent damage.
You’ll gain practical knowledge in identifying leather types and finishes, including absorbent (aniline, nubuck, suede) and protected (pigmented) leathers. You’ll learn how to assess condition, recognise wear patterns, and determine how each surface will respond to cleaning.
This Leather Upholstery Cleaning course also teaches how to accurately identify leather using professional inspection methods, including visual, touch, scratch, and absorption testing. This ensures you select the correct cleaning approach and avoid costly mistakes when working on different materials.
You’ll be guided through proven step-by-step leather cleaning procedures, including safe detergent application, controlled agitation, soil removal, and drying techniques. You’ll also learn how to handle delicate finishes, manage heavily soiled areas, and apply protective treatments for longer lasting results.
By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:
✅ Identify different leather types and finishes with confidence
✅ Select the correct cleaning method for each surface
✅ Safely remove soil without damaging dyes or finishes
✅ Manage risks such as colour loss, absorption, and surface wear
✅ Apply professional cleaning and protection techniques for consistent results
This course combines essential theory with practical, real-world methods, giving you the confidence to clean leather upholstery safely, effectively, and professionally.
