Leather Cleaning & Dyeing

Leather is an investment luxurious, durable, and timeless. But just like any fine material, it requires the right care to maintain its beauty and longevity. We specialize in professional leather cleaning and restoration services designed to protect and revive your leather furniture and upholstery.

Our certified technicians use safe, industry-approved methods to remove dirt, oils, and stains without harming the delicate surface. Whether your leather has lost its luster, become discolored, or simply needs a refresh, we have the expertise to bring it back to life.

In addition to cleaning, we offer custom leather dyeing to restore faded color, correct uneven tones, or even transform the look of your piece entirely. From minor touch-ups to full re-dye projects, our process ensures a smooth, natural finish that looks as good as new.

With Mighty Mac’s leather care services, you can extend the life of your leather and keep it looking rich, supple, and elegant for years to come.

    Types of Leather

    • Aniline (≈5% of market): Transparent dyes show natural grain and markings.

    • Nubuck (≈5%): Brushed surface with a velvet-like texture; often confused with suede but made from the outside of the hide.

    • Protected Leather (≈90%): Pigmented like paint, giving uniform color and appearance.

    Care Needs

    • All leather requires annual cleaning and moisturizing to extend life.

    • Common problems arise from sun exposure, harsh chemicals, dampness (e.g., swimwear, tanning oils, hair oils), and lack of proper moisturizers.

    Services & Restoration

    • Basic cleaning and moisturizing is affordable and preventative.

    • Restoration is more complex and costly but can address:

      • Sun damage (e.g., faded aniline ottoman).

      • Scratches (e.g., from fingernails on a headboard).

      • Chemical damage (e.g., bleaching agent spills).

      • Re-dyeing (including complex multi-tone finishes).

    Key Takeaway: Leather is durable and high-quality but requires consistent maintenance. Most issues can be prevented with routine care, while professional restoration can revive even heavily damaged or faded pieces.
