I was contracted by Guardsman to clean a leather sofa (center cushion). I used the standard leather cleaning gel (not from the kit). The one area is dark. The sofa is tan or mustard color. Not sure if I applied too much.
Question is: If I applied too much conditioner will it eventually dry? I wiped it down with a dry towel after I completed the area.
The spot was from a child sitting on the sofa after he/she was in the swimming pool. The mother stated the area was “really” wet.
If the spot was just from a wet spot, I’m guessing you were dealing with Nubuck or Aniline leather. Read the first post titled “Leather” that Mike Nowlin started under leather cleaning. Based on my response on that post, see if you can figure out what kind of leather you were dealing with. Guessing that spot is there for good no matter if you used the older leather cleaner, or one of the cleaners from the new leather kit, if you were dealing with nubuck or aniline. If it was pigmented, there should be no spot from the leather just being wet. I think that spot that you cleaned will remain darker (just my opinion, I could be wrong). Did you clean the whole cushion or just the spot?
The leather is pigmented. The customer stated the last tech “spray painted” a pillow. They were really surprised when they noticed a watermark since they have spilled things on the sofa in the past. The mother stated the child was really wet and maybe had sun screen on.
Dave – thanks for the reminder to read the old post. I remember reading it months ago. It was a great refresher.
I have been with Guardsman for a week and a half. Three jobs where two of them are leather. Guardsman pays $165 for a successful leather cleaning.
