Your leather sofa needs love too

If I told you this leather sofa set was barely a year old, what would you say?

I'm assuming you're saying "Nooooo, I can't believe it!

But don't worry, because where make-up, sweat, soil and stain inducing jeans have been before, Art of Clean goes after.

The lads took one look at the sofa and armchair and said to themselves "Challenge Accepted!"

Using some of the best hands in the business (not kidding), our technicians use a variety of safe products that will ensure your valued leather sofa and chairs can be restored as close as we possibly can to the condition it was in when you bought it.

Why bother? Well, after than the initial cost, you don't really want to waste your money buying a new sofa every few years. Cleaning and protecting on a regular basis can save you time and money. When we say time, we're talking about the whole shopping and delivery process. Leather is timeless. Keep it fresh and clean and it'll serve you for generations. Art of Clean's work will protect your leather for anywhere between 2-4 years. Simply clean and sit.

Let's have a look at the procedure:

We're going to clean the leather with a specialised solution. So, with some light stroking and gentle agitation, we'll remove that grime, grease and ingrained soil. 

Next, we'll rinse the leather. So any left-over dirt is completely removed. 

The protection comes last. That's when the colour is restored, the cleanliness is established and the shine needs to be shown. 

Sitting down on your "New" leather sofa you'll feel a remarkable difference between how your sofa had been and the soft, supple feel it now holds.

Result! With a shine like that, how can you argue?

Have your children been using your sofa as a drawing board? Art of Clean has the solution!

Our sofas and settees receive a lot of wear and tear.  Even more so if you have a young family and pets.

There is always those first couple of years, when you have a young family, where everything gets poured, spilled, rubbed and scribbled over the sofa.  Over time that calms down but you're reluctant to purchase a new sofa as they are an expensive purchase and so looking after them is paramount to a healthy and happy home.

You'll be pleased to hear that all is not lost.  Here at Art of Clean, we specialise in cleaning upholstery and I wanted to show you pictures from a job we did recently for a customer in Cambridge, UK.

The sofa was made from a polyester cotton mix and purchased from IKEA, it had taken quite a battering from the young children of the house with spilt drinks, marker pens and ink all over it.

I think you'll agree from the photos, the sofa came up rather well.

Art of Clean and the new year deep clean

Once the shortest day of the year has come and gone, and Christmas and New Year are out of the way, I always get excited and filled with revitalised energy to see that extra minute of daylight in the evening. In the knowledge the days are getting longer and we have a new year to look forward to.

Over the next couple of weeks, the evenings will draw out, slowly at first with a minute a day of daylight added to the end of the day and then after a fortnight, it's a whooping whole eleven minutes added to the evening. And before we know it, we'll all be wearing shorts and sun cream again and venturing outside into the great outdoors and into our gardens.  And if you're like me, I've probably been a bit neglectful of my garden and patio, which currently looks like a scene from from Sleeping Beauty, with giant bramble bushes, sprouting all over the place and the patio looking murky and unkempt.  Unfortunately, I don't have a Prince to cut his way through with a sharp sword and rescue his damsel in distress.

I think the word 'distress' is probably a good way to describe the current state our interiors as-well as the exteriors.  Carpets and floors, also need our attention and after the high volume of festive party goers we have in December, now is just the time to get the place back into order and in time for the great Spring clean and the warmer weather.

Although the weather is still fresh at the moment, (just sticking my head round the door and seeing the bright sunlight streaming though) we can finally have our doors and windows open and let a bit of that clean crisp air fill the our room again.  

Art of Clean can help you with all these jobs and more.  Did you know we clean carpets, rugs, upholstery and patios, etc?

Consumer, Re-user - A good reason to clean the old and not buy new

In this consumer economy, one we've all lived for a generation now, we find ourselves spending and spending and never truly getting. Our budgets increase, our wages decrease and our homes fill to the rafters with countless items we don’t actually need or, more often, want - after the first thrill of the purchase.

Whether you’re buying food, drink, clothing, furniture or cars, at the end of the day, there’s only so much space and the world is only getting smaller. This is not our rant on the buying culture, it’s our suggestion that moderation and economy can be a revelation as well.

How often have you crawled into your attic, or rummaged through the clothes at the back of your closet and found that gem? That jumper your uncle bought you in 2005 that was hideous then, but is fashion now? That little table you found at the local car boot sale and thought, I’m going to sand and polish that, and never did?

Reusing, re-working, renewing.

Now look around your living room. What needs replacing? That rug. Are you sure? That sofa. Really? Isn’t it possible that those items you bought haven’t lost style, they’re just lost their va va voom.
Rugs, carpets, wooden floors, sofas, chairs…they all need upkeep. They all need a wash, just like you.

It’s not sexy.

Cleaning a rug is dull…until it’s clean, then it’s a marvel you didn't see the difference before.

You know what is sexy? Looking at your bank balance after that clean and comparing it with what it would have been, if you’d gone with your first instinct and bought a new sofa or rug.

We’re not suggesting you stop spending, far from it, we all like to buy things. What we are suggesting is you think what you need and decide what is needed.

Your wife needs those flowers, your husband needs those socks, but do you really need a brand new sofa, especially when there are so many deals to be had and reclaimed wonders to be discovered? 

This example doesn't exactly compound my argument, but taste is subjective.

Upholstery Cleaning in Cambridge

Upholstery cleaning is often a challenge, but the result is nearly always a revelation and seeing is, after all, believing. Ben, our new lad, set to work on these fine pieces.

Here you can see the difference in the before and after shots. It's so very easy to let furniture accumulate dirt and drain the life from it. You sit there, day after day, year in, year out and the change is barely noticeable. It's only when professionals, like Ben, get there hands on your upholstery, that the revelation can start.

These were a few particularly splendid pieces and it's always a pleasure for us when we are able to reveal the beauty within the beast. You know what, there's a rather nice rug there too...
