After 22 years of cleaning carpets and upholstery, I have finally decided to have a go at cleaning leather. Never cleaned one leather suite in my life.
My wife is quite keen to come as well as she thinks it is the only way ours will ever get cleaned!!
Come to think of it, I might send her on a carpet cleaning course as well!!
Anyway has anyone been on the main two courses and thought that one was better than the other?
Cheers,
Clive (and Liz)

Hi Clive although I am still a newby at cleaning I did the 4 seperate days at LTT this year and was very impressed by the course delivery from Andy. If I had to pick fault I thought the course notes were a little Light especially for the repair and renovation days.

I only get asked to clean leather about 6 times a year so if your the same its a waste of your time and money.
Theres really only one type of leather that cleans well and safely.
You spray the product on, agitate it in and wipe off. 99% of the suites I do are cream and although may not look dirty really are once you start. Its back breaking and a very long and boring 2 hours. However as theres no noise in the room you can have the telly on while you clean, although book it for the afternoon as day time tv is rubbish.
But then Im bias as I dont like cleaning leather.

hi,
I have been on the LTT course. Excellent course very hands on. Judy and Andy are a great help always on the end of the phone also for anything tricky.
Certainly opened my eyes to the potential of leather cleaning.

I average about 3 suites a week and will be lucky if i do 10 leather suites a year.I keep hearing this about theres a lot of cash in cleaning leather but everybody i no with a leather suite cleans it there self with the stuff that came with it.

Do a restoration course if you can. Only just done ours, have a 3pc next week (colour match just back and seat cushions), return a swivel chair (grease removal) and also car seat repair. Over £700.00 and website has only been going a couple of weeks ;D
Andy at LTT is very good, cant comment on FC as never been there, but their phone advice is on par with LTT.
